    [​IMG]OnlySP checked out Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord:

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Preview | Beware the Limitations
    Alongside Kingdom Come: Deliverance, another game in a medieval setting is making its way to players everywhere. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is an action role-playing game developed and published by TaleWorlds Entertainment, and the prequel to 2010's Mount & Blade: Warband. However, while Kingdom Come: Deliverance follows the tale of a particular, preset character, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord allows players to create their own character and form individual stories. Gamers may become whoever they wish, including a lord, mercenary, merchant, or anything in-between. OnlySP took the opportunity to preview TaleWorlds Entertainment's current five-year project, and the experience was nothing, if not unique.

    In a demo offering a taste of four different battle options (two of which are the same battle on different difficulties), Mount & Blade II's current state depicts a game ripe with unprecedented sandbox potential. Brandishing mostly-realistic gameplay (down to some of the most minute details), TaleWorlds has something special on its hands. Playing through the first battle-where gamers take control of a captain responsible for leading a unit of cavalry within a lord's army-awakens within the user a deep sense of wariness. Limited to a long spear and a shield, players must follow their lord's orders and lead their cavalry in a charge that accomplishes specific objectives, such as protecting allied infantry from enemy cavalry or breaking the enemy's lines to soften them up for friendly troops' charges. However, this battle merely serves as a stage on which Mount & Blade II's features are unveiled.

    [...]

    So far, 2017 has been filled with blockbuster announcements, such as Assassin's Creed: Origins, Call of Duty: WWII, Star Wars: Battlefront II, and Far Cry 5. Meanwhile, promising games are overshadowed by the popstars of the video game industry. Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is proof that a company does not have to be as popular as the most well-known AAA producers to develop a unique, quality product. Still in development, TaleWorlds Entertainment's innovative game offers mostly-superior graphics, outstanding audio, and gameplay mechanics that are riveting and challenging. Hopefully, TaleWorlds will improve upon the current design and fix the minor flaws present within the title between now and the game's unannounced release date. If the polishes are made, Mount & Blade II could sneak up on the industry's standouts and compete with the best.​
