Review

Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord is a much improved version of one of the previous parts of Mount & Blade: Warband and its events take place 200 years before those already described earlier. As before, the gamer acts as an ordinary person who found himself in the Caldarium and is now obliged to find his way here.

He can become a rich merchant, gather a gang of mercenaries and rob caravans, you can also go into the service of one of the local kings, become a lord and get a knighthood, fight in endless wars using your own small army. Also, nothing will prevent you from creating your own kingdom, capturing castles and cities, gradually expanding your empire.

There is no clear storyline and scenarios in Bannerlord – it is a classic sandbox with a lot of freedom of action in the open world.
