Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord

Everything has been improved compared to the last part! I haven’t played this game much (87 hours), but the graphics and gameplay itself are very good, the optimization seems to be normal, a laptop with an rtx 3090 and an intel core i5 with 16 GB of memory overcomes all the difficulties of playing on ultra, although it lags a lot in games!

What I didn’t like are the tasks that you take in the village when you are asked to buy something, then by the time you buy it you’ll take the task and fail, the same story with selling goods in another city for a higher price, in short, you don’t get particularly cool quests at the beginning of the game you will find, except for clearing out the lairs of bandits and showdowns on the streets.

Control with an arrow is wildly inconvenient for me personally, … Read full

I've never played a game of this genre before, with the exception of Skyrim. But this game exceeded all my expectations. In the game I was able to found my kingdom, get married, and have 2 children. This is not a game, but simply the best thing I've ever played! The game gave me unforgettable emotions that would be enough for a whole book. I have been in the service of all nations and now I serve the Sturgians, since I wrested the city from them when I served with the Khuzaites. All those who have not played yet, be sure to try it. Even if you don't like or have never played games of this genre. And as for the kingdom, this is already the 3rd playthrough in the sandbox, I’m waiting for the 4th level of the clan and creating a kingdom from 1 city.

One of the best in the medieval genre, complete freedom of action, be it a lord, a mercenary, or a merchant 💪

Excellent strategy, the bot thinks and doesn’t act like meat, the game plays itself and lives

What can you write here: the game is super! I went through the first part five times. I've been playing Bannerlord for three years now: I captured almost all the kingdoms, there was just a little left until the end and the screw burned out, naturally, the saves were lost. Now I'm starting to play again (this is for a few more years, hehe). :-)

The game has enough activities and replayability is also present. There is almost no plot. However, you can spend hours completing village and city quests, robbing caravans, fighting in tournaments and much more. The bandits are annoying with their afterburner on the world map and homing stones, as well as everyone’s “favorite” moment from the previous parts: the kingdom has no possessions, 2 and a half lords, but they declare war...

Some mods partially “cure” some problems.

Overall I liked the game 8/10.

This is the best game ever: Worthy Heir. Yes, the product is damp, yes there are some peculiar bugs, yes there are comments on the gameplay, and sometimes in battle NPCs are stupid and mark time, and the lords do not always behave adequately.

But! Constant patches are released (once a week), there are already a large number of mods and there are only more of them. The atmosphere of the game, the design of sieges that was desired in its predecessors, the physics of damage in general, the burning delight of participating in dense foot battles. Or when, at full gallop, in a dense row of cavalry, you crash into the enemy’s formation, or the famous “twirls” of horse archers... All these sensations of battle, for me personally, completely cover the disadvantages of the game.

But it still feels lik… Read full

The continuation of the legendary Mount & Blade, like the first part, never ceases to delight players with exciting adventures and the struggle for a place in the sun in the cruel Middle Ages.

Of course, the game is still in early access and has some shortcomings, but they are regularly corrected and the game is slowly improving.

There are suspicions that by release the game will become a real masterpiece in its genre

To be honest, the expectations were higher, maybe just because of the long wait, but the game is certainly good, that’s in general.

The absence of the Russian language is solved by mods, sometimes it crashed but this was also fixed, at first the imbalance of the coneluks was also equalized, in general the developers are working. And there are enough mods. 663 hours in the game speak for themselves.
