The Banner Saga 3 (July 24)
Best PS4 Games July 2018
The Banner Saga series has been a resounding Kickstarter success, one on a short list of titles that can actually claim the same thing. Stoic Studio, the developer behind the series, was founded by former BioWare alumn, and it shows. Over two games, players have made gut-wrenching choices that can decide the lives of characters in your party, and all of that comes to a head in The Banner Saga 3.
The third game in the trilogy brings a few new options and enhancements, adding on even more unit classes and enemy types to mix up combat. A new battle waves system makes combat even more challenging and pits your team against a variety of enemies that’ll require you to adapt your strategy to overcome. Decisions from the first two games will carry over into The Banner Saga 3, and there you can expect some hard-hitting consequences if the previous games are anything to go by. The beautiful hand-painted aesthetic of The Banner Saga looks better than ever, and if you haven’t tried out this emotional strategy series yet, you really need to get on that.
