I finally caved in and purchased Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord along with the recently released DLC War Sails from Steam when it was on a good sale.
The review rating of the DLC was still only "Mixed" in Steam, but that didn't stop me from getting it. Most people complain about the story related to the DLC, but I'm more into sandbox gameplay anyway.
So far I have been really happy with the game and the DLC.
Visiting the towns takes more time than it's supposed to when I have to stop to admire the sights. The beautiful Nordic landscapes and the Nordic towns are really amazing!
The surroundings during battles look absolutely fantastic especially in the night time.
And what about the sea battles?
Well, I really like them a lot: the ships, the sea, the chaos and how the ship moves.
I haven't yet dared to face any really difficult enemies like big armies or rich war leaders.
There are still dozens of different ships to own and they have their own upgrades and special features which I'm still just learning about.
This will probably be my game of the year this time!
