You're still making your way to Abberrang, still evading the hordes of stony-faced dredge swarming down from the north, still trying to protect a motley crew of individuals, races and cultures all with their own opinions and motivations, some of whom may not be entirely trustworthy.Дespite the arduous nature of the clan's march to Abberrang, the plot is breathlessly paced, with difficult choices arriving thick and fast. Of course, regardless of who you play as, the key plot beats are the same. In a genre where so many games take narrative shortcuts after important choices to return to the same plot thread, Stoic's effort to lend your decisions permanence is admirable. Not only do you have two complete narrative arcs for each of these characters, the entire tone of the game is different depending on which one you choose, right down to the accompanying orchestral score. Rather than attempting a quick workaround, Stoic tackle this significant game design task head-on. Depending on the choices you made at the end of the last game, the main character for the Banner Saga 2 can be one of two. Nevertheless, The Banner Saga impresses with its commitment to telling not just the same story, but the player's version of that story. The Banner Saga 2 undoubtedly improves upon the original in a couple of important areas, but there are also shortcomings that cannot be ignored. On the other, the desire to retain such a strong connection between both games means the core systems haven't evolved quite as much as they perhaps needed to. On the one hand, it allows the game to pull that splendid Mass Effect trick of carrying over your choices from the first game, which the Banner Saga arguably does even better than BioWare's sci-fi trilogy. This direct connection with the events of its predecessor is both a good and bad thing for The Banner Saga 2.
