Banner Saga 2 builds upon everything that made the original title promising and continues an amazing franchise with this foundation. During the time that has passed since the first installment in The Banner Saga series, not much has changed. The cold and unforgiving world continues to fall apart and those trying to survive are left to face seemingly impossible odds and ferocious enemies – both man and monster alike. Only time will tell if these desperate heroes will defeat the approaching evil or wind up as dead as the Gods.

For an indie title that’s under $10, Gurgamoth will definitely please those players looking for something simple to play with friends for a night of trash talking and bloody, chaotic competition. Sadly, the overly simplistic gameplay, lack of depth and actual variety left my Elder God plenty hungry after quickly devouring this shallow, bloody pool of an appetizer.
