If you’ve been with the series so far – and as alluded to above – you’ll be dropped into this third addition, right where you left off.
First timers will be able to select between playing as either Rook or Alette, both of these characters come with their own deep and emotional back-stories.Īnyway, back on track. The game will offer a quick recap as to how the story-events have unfolded so far, as well as providing some useful tips to feed you into the experience. Players do not need to own nor need to have played the previous entries to enjoy this – though it would certainly make a difference. If you’re keen to jump into The Banner Saga 3 without any former playtime or knowledge of its predecessors, you’re absolutely free to do so. That’s not to say that this entry alienates newcomers, on the contrary in fact.
This means that certain actions that you’ve made so far will indeed have some impact on how The Banner Saga 3 plays out. Much like The Banner Saga 2, players are able to carry their saved data over to conclude the series with their journey so far. Perhaps this is the game’s crowning achievement, but in the face of everything else that The Banner Saga 3 gets right, it’s hard to truly narrow down what stands out the most. Seriously, the story-telling in The Banner Saga 3 is through the roof. There’s romance, there’s danger, there’s loss and there’s a continuous sense of tension and suspense that wont leave your side from beginning to end. It’s a story that bounces to and from a range of different themes, constantly evoking a wide pool of emotions from its players. What I will say is that much like its predecessor entries, The Banner Saga 3 doesn’t buckle one bit in the story-telling department. We’ve been asked not to dive too deeply into the game’s plot, so to avoid running the risk of dropping spoilers, we’re going to keep this as story-light as possible.
Does The Banner Saga 3 take the franchise out with a much deserved and expected bang? Now, however, here we sit at the trilogy’s climactic end. The RPG epic unsurprisingly went on to be a critical and commercial success, much like its sequel The Banner Saga 2. When Stoic released The Banner Saga, they took the world by storm through its vastly interesting story, its gorgeous visuals and its magnificent overall design.
It’s always somewhat disheartening when you’re throwing yourselves into the conclusion of anything that you’ve thoroughly enjoyed.
