The Banner Saga

I was a backer of this, so got my copy last week, but only got around to playing it tonight. Wow, what a great game. It of course looks gorgeous – even better then I thought it would – but I’m also really digging the turn-based battles. I’ve only played about an hour and a half so far, but I can already see how it’s going to be interesting to find the right balance of characters and positioning on the battlefield. The story so far is pretty good too, and well told. It really is a fantastic time to be playing games these days.
