The conclusion to the trilogy, same lovely visuals and combat as the previous two games and the story is wrapped up. Like most others I would say it's not as good as the previous two games and it's quite a bit shorter (than even the first game). Most of my dissatisfaction is with the slightly abrupt ending. Stoic had a high bar to reach to match the previous two games and you can see they put the effort in for this, but it's hard to wrap up such an epic trilogy to everyone's satisfaction.

Still though, the Banner Saga trilogy is a masterpiece of art and storytelling like no other and I'd highly recommend all 3 games.

I'm just going to copy and paste someone else's review in here because it hit the nail on the head. I like RNG based games but this one is just silly + extremely grindy. It's a shame because I had this game on my wishlist for over a year and finally got it only to see it for what it is after about 10 hours of playing it (see below)

-------------------

I have come to the conclusion that in this game you are simply gambling with your time and fun. This game entirely revolves around RNG and scaling in order to make the game 'fun' and 'challenging'. You are at the mercy of a terrible percentage based, scaled combat system that features permadeath. At any moment the RNG can string together a series of bad rolls that will destroy your company regardless of any action you have taken. It doesn't matter how well you have planned or executed your strategy or even how strong your guys are - the RNG will dictate success.

The intense 'fun' some people experience in this game is because of the gambling mechanic, especially on Ironman. Basically, there will be many, many times when the fate of your company depends on the next one or two attack rolls. This is where the game gambles with your fun and time and gets peoples blood pumping. Will you keep having fun with a surviving company or will your fun end due to brothers dying? It will depend on the roll of the dice. Will the last half an hour of your time be worth it or will it be wasted? It will depend on the roll of the dice.

There are times when the game is heaps of fun, but that is only when the RNG has gone in your favour. No doubt people who enjoy gambling IRL would love this game.

Great game, better than the first in almost every way. Very slick interface and well thought out factions to play as. Worth the price for sure.

The Good

-good faction variety with about half of them having substantially different game mechanics

-great interface

-your empire is highly customisable by using different laws and empire development paths

-ship design is nice and slick, the combat takes a bit of getting used to but once you figure it out you can fit your ships to suit what combat options are available to you

-interesting economic options, trading for resources, trade companies, buying ships when your back is to the wall, a stock market for resources

-plenty of options when you start a new game about how the galaxy is, what is in it, random events, minor civs, quests etc. etc.

The Bad

-encountered a few bugs, especially playing as Vodyani and Riftborn

-system invasions aren't much fun, they can often be tedious until you learn to basically have fleets specialised for invasions following your main fleets around

-I almost never get to the last level of the tech tree, the game is either won or lost long before that happens

-the voices often don't suit the faction, the Sophons sound some dudebros from Liverpool and the Riftborn sounds like some slutty THOT from Essex or something

-faction quest has been hugely bugged for the Sophons for me, I've not been able to complete it for many games

-allies target my systems with their doomsday weapons, even while in an alliance together wtf

EDIT: CHANGING MY REVIEW TO NEGATIVE FOR TWO REASON

-the game keeps getting really really bad DLC, and those DLC either don't receive balance patches or they get ridiculous balance changes made to them

-long standing bugs that have persisted for years have not been fixed, such as Citadel shields and Behemoths not being scrappable or sellable, and game breaking bugs as the Sophons and Vodyani

Lovely graphics, art, sound and atmosphere. The story and background chatter is also very well done, a true RTS like the oldschool ones.

It's decent and worth the price but also hugely overrated, the writing is weeb fanfic tier a lot of the time.

Fighting Greek Hoplites gave me PTSD

Real nicely made and fun puzzle game, some very cool mechanics and nice controls.

Very nice game, well made and plenty of polish (pun intended) and depth to it. I had a hard time learning the game mechanics initially so I spent an hour watching a basics video on Youtube and that helped a lot. The tutorial isn't great, but if they wanted to cover everything it would be one of those tutorials that would bore you to death and put you off the game in the process.

The game is RNG heavy from what I can tell in my limited hours (so far), so if you hate games where you have to mitigate bad RNG (like Darkest Dungeon or Xcom2) then you may not like this, but if you give a few hours and get your head around the game mechanics it's honestly a very very fun game that has a lot of replayability.

Fantastic game, unlike anything you've probably ever played before. The whole idea of it is very interesting and how it messes with your notion of free will.

It's the zombie apocalypse and you have to keep bribing the people in your shelter with luxury items like booze, chocolate and batteries or they'll kill you in your sleep for being a bad leader. Top game mechanics right there.
