way too fun and way to many ways to play it

Slight update. Game is still progressing, i'm stable at version 1.61. have a few mods added, which have added depth to game play. overall still having fun. runs great, great graphics, still a blast leading the cavalry across the fields to my enemies destruction.

=============

I have over 60 hours in this game so far. Yes the game has issues. CLEARLY indicated on its store page. Is it good? Good enough to keep me interested and i have 100s of games.

I recommend the game, even as Early Access (which I tend to avoid). Game was released Early Access with CLEAR issues acknowledged by Tale Worlds. I personally believe Taleworlds released only to keep its hounding fan base at bay. Success on their part.

Bannerlord is a fantastic foundation for what will be the next extension of Mount and Blade. The game is not finished - I repeat, the game is not finished. It is missing/inactive player skills, unbalanced player leveling, recruitment/prisoner mechanics, hard early game, bugs, missing dialog, some features not yet implemented, etc... Don't expect similar game play to a fully modded, customized Warband experience

Game currently provides an open sandbox. Exactly that, not much else. Noone is going to hold your hand, no multiple mandatory grind quests. Two very basic quests to get you moving, up to you to figure it out. Be a bandit, mercenary, traitor, assassin, vassal or king. If this is not your play style, if you prefer a more ... curated experience, then please, PLEASE, don't buy this game. Or just wait until they get out of early access and install a ton of mods once the game is stabilized.

Beautiful strategic map, battles are amazing. User interface is cleaner on the battle map, unit commands seem to be easier to implement. The combat is even more intuitive than Warband, graphics and mount mechanics are so immersive and they all feed my desire to lead a massive calvery charge across a wheat field in summer ... glorious

Have fun. Keep your horse close, your sword sharp and your troops fed :D

Dayz was my labor of love vote. It's been 4 years in alpha. Beta ... no idea. Interesting premise, etc... but at this point so many other games have been announced, AND ISSUED, in final state since launch. Gave up hoping on a final release.

Best old standby ever. Played it when it first came out. Bought multiple replacement disks. Bought again through Steam (no more disks!), still playing even now. Best way to chill and play with friends from far away. Thank god for the Forgotten dev team for their mod and then the official expansion.

So Christmas came early. Imagine my surprise to find a free update across the total war franchise. i have all the total war series except for some DLC for Shogun and Warhammer II

Amazing strategy game, intense historical detail, infinite replayability. i have hundreds of hours across their games - total war is definintely one of my favorite go to games. Better than sex? Only you can decide.

If i could have the developers babies i would. Well done. Thank you. You're all going to heaven.

great game play, detail and all around goodness
