I've waited 7 years for this game. Was it worth the wait? No. Not yet.

So why is it recommended? Well, dear reader, this purchase of £31.99 is not a game. It is the promise of a game, and the chance to be a part of the creation of something great.

'But M'Choke' I hear you say, 'I'm sick of prerelease ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and that is an extortionate amount to pay for not even a complete game'.

But you forget something my naive little friend. This game has been broken down and rebuilt for the last however many years since its start. This shows that the developers have one thing. Drive. Drive to create something amazing. Drive to stay true to it's amazing origin, but bring it up to date with the current audience. What this purchase does, is it says to the developer, TaleWorlds, 'You know what. I'm seeing what you're doing, and I like it. Lemme hop on board.' With hotfixes happening daily after release in response to the players, it shows that TaleWorlds wants to get this base part of the game set, balanced and most importantly, stable, before it takes off into the unknown.

Bravo, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. You have saved me from my quarantine hell, and given me something to look forward to in the future.

10/10, about to crank this ♥♥♥♥ up to 11.
