NOTE:
I'm leaving positive review in advance, cause this will be the most epic game once the modders take care of it (thank you guys for making sh*t happens) and I may forget later to edit it.


Before you jump to comments to throw sticks and stones at me making excuses how it's EA, read first! I'm fanboy just like you!


Now for the actual real stuff:

Game in this state is a joke, 9 years of development and this is what we got as EA? Very bad joke.
Yes they changed engine, and how I know it's been 9 years, over a year before it was announced I'll explain that later.

So let's start like this, TaleWorlds is not family studio as they started. TaleWorlds is sponsored/financed by Turkish government and there's your answer why we waited so long. Why would they work and release the game when they can live on government t*t. I understand this from their side, hell maybe I would do it myself If I could. But it's not fair to your playerbase to throw them Alpha build after so many time in development.
They could years ago throw a Kickstarter get few millions, pay extra employees finish the game, and then wait with release.

Unless you are buying this game only for multiplayer WAIT, do not buy yet!
Singleplayer isn't very playable, main story is broken and It cannot be finished, some quests pop-out and by themselves and disappear randomly, on other side there are quests without any hints what to do.
Also be aware that game crash from time to time, now I'm at point where I'm saving the game every 5-10 min.

Features... there are some yet many are broken, not finished or not implemented

Graphics are nice, textures and models are beautiful, yet there aren't many(armors,clothes,shields..), helmets are oversized and usually looks like character have bucket on the head.

Sounds are good, music is great but often songs overlap with eachother and it can be annoying.

Overall it's disappointing, I'm in gaming industry myself and no one can convince me that all this time with over 100 people they release game at this stage if they worked full time on it.
They didn't, this is 6-12 months of full time work.

If you are still interested how I knew this game is in development over 9 years, well I tried myself as influencer when I was younger, and I did pretty ok back in the day on Twitch. So I wrote a fan email to Taleworlds like guys are you cooking something new, we need new Mount and Blade...
And I got reply after few days, confirming that something is being made without any details or without confirming that it is Mount and Blade game at all. But it was obvious that it's Mount and Blade :D
I got confirmed that I was added on their press list and that I will be invited to participate in close beta testing.
After they announced working on it, I email them again to check, and yet again I got confirmation that Im in the list :D

Years and years have been passing, In meantime I stopped streaming and I never ever got 1 email about game development, or beta testing.

TaleWorlds you were for me up there all the way in the clouds, but after this release.... two feet underground.
