The combat also provides a fun and very challenging gameplay. Allowing the player to immerse themselves fully in this brilliant title. The lore, dialogue and background for each faction and key character are fantastically written and crafted. The plot and quest lines centre around six factions fighting during the collapse of the Roman empire. This coupled with a vastly improved UI and a seamlessly integrated map feature made with tactical planning in mind all culminates to give a truly fantastic look and feel to this title. The visuals are striking and a massive step up from the series last outing. Though this game stands above each of these when it comes to graphical detail.
This game plays rather like titles like Kingdom Come Deliverance or the Divinity series, minus the magic of course.
Though, in fact, it holds its own beautifully and delivers some truly engaging gameplay that would rival some of the best in the genre.
You might think that Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord would have less impact in this current gaming climate. As we have been treated to a cavalcade of medieval sandbox adventures in the last decade since the first instalment of Mount and Blade.
