Randy writes, “Mount & Blade II doesnt do strategic battles as good as Total War. It doesnt do toe-to-toe combat as good as For Honor. And it doesnt do radiant side quests as good as, say, Skyrim. But the fact that Mount & Blade II does all of those things, combining the strategy layer, the melee combat layer, and the role-playing layer, all into one package, still makes it stand out from the crowd. ”
