April 4th: Bannerlord
TLDR: It’s a glorious mess.
That’s the most accurate summary I can give for the latest entry in Taleworld’s venerable Mount & Blade series. After eight harrowing years of development, the game was finally released on Steam this week as an Early Access title for the full price of $49.99 US. If that seems steep to be a beta tester for an unfinished game they sweetened it a little with a 10% discount for early adopters and an additional 10% for owners of the previous games.
