After 32 hours of playing the single player sandbox mode I can honestly say I might sink even more hours into this game than I did for Warband. It takes all the good of warband and what kept me playing for so long and ramped into 2020. The battles are fun and engaging and comanding your troops feels great as they line into a shield wall and advance on your enemy and begin a part of an army and having massive 1000 man battles blew my mind. I haven't jumped into multiplayer yet but as a single player game I can honestly say I love it!
Edit: 500 hours later, it's good stuff
