The Banner Saga is blindingly lovely and arguably just as intriguing to play. Built atop a world that all but demands the attention of travel documentaries, it’s epic in the literal sense of the word.100USgamer
An experience I advise no one to miss.95RPG Fan
With a refreshingly unique aesthetic, well-written story, and challenging gameplay, The Banner Saga is an excellent adventure well worth your time.90GamesRadar+
A beautiful and unforgettable experience, very well written, with a challenging combat system, and where every action has its consequences. A game that RPG fans shouldn’t miss.90Vandal
For all the compromises you’re forced to make within it, the game itself never compromises on the quality of its writing, art, and tactical combat.90Slant Magazine
A great start for the next entries. The combat system is extremely polished and the game has great characters and a detailed world that we want to explore even more.90Eurogamer Spain
The Banner Saga delivers an engaging story, narrated with great visual and music artistry. The combat system developed by Stoic Studio is also enjoyable.89Multiplayer.it
A great tactical RPG coming from a forgotten era of videogaming, with a brilliant art style and a melancholic story.87Everyeye.it
The Banner Saga is an absolutely gorgeous, engrossing RPG that features well-balanced and pleasingly tactical turn-based combat. It’s a linear journey, but one that’s definitely worth taking.85Gameplanet
Good art. Good gameplay. Great music. Story is a setup for later installments but works well on it’s own. I love it. Closer to a 9 than a 780Dustfoxx

maybe it gets better later on but the start it was very slow and I lost interest in it60jfsre
Seems to be very good and stylish tactics. Too bad I didn’t like the core mechanics.70Oshiri_Maeda

An ok, but frustrating game. The frustration does not come from tactical depth, which is fine, but the resource management as you stave off the constant threat of starvation, which gets old fast.50Blanel
Please add the Turkish language support made for the game now. That’s why I bought three games and I’m waiting.50nietzfk
