Reviews - Fеll

Honestly the game with the greatest longevity I’ve ever known, especially when taking into account community content.

It is a game you will keep coming back to to play for over 6 years. As long as computers are able to support it (compatibility, FEAR game compatibility doesn’t count, because they simply aren’t).
Sure, it gives some tasks or quests and things like that, but it’s also valid to f&$k off and do what you like in it (not being a carrier pigeon for lords with memes and personalities to accompany them, well earned and bestowed by the community, such as ‘Fat’ Harlus).
This is a game that can quickly run up in game hours in the hundreds, and eventually gaining the 1st place spot for most time spent in your steam library, unless your into MMOs, probably.

‘It’s almost harvest season.’

The shining gem of community content must be Prophesy of Pendor. The developers are committed to it after so many years is not something commonly seen in my experience and it does show in the mod.
There are mods to suit your fancy, with each bringing a differences and variety in features and game mechanics for the player to discover.

‘I’ll tear your head from your shoulders.’

While I have played the multiplayer for
standard/vanilla M&B warband, I find that it’s more of an accessory than anything else (unless of course you get involved in Rome at war or brytenwald). A quarter of the time you end up being killed by some random shirtless player, while for the others it’s meeting your end by those who have mastered the use of the pole arm/spear much like in that Chivalry Medieval Warfare.
Single player is the most rewarding.

Conclusion: 10/10, would still buy it again, go tell your friends. It’s of a greater pace than sidmieres Civilizations playing across the internet by far, while not requiring the dedication of an entire Sunday in order to play it.

It doesn’t have the shiniest graphics, but if your reasonable and realistic, than that’s far from the top 10 things you look for in a game.

Here’s to hoping that Bannerlord doesn’t become Half life 3 (which it shouldn’t based to the dev updates, and its presence on the steam store, still tba).

Edit: Just one bit of advice when staring a new game. Beware bandits. You will have the preconceived notion that you as an adventurer can overcome most obstacles from the start with ease. You will quickly be captured and passed around the various roaming parties of bandits and outlaws like a prize *****. You sure start out with a few quests to boost your level, and invest in a horse so if nothing else you can run around like Armenian Horse archers from Rome Total War.
