If you liked M&B Classic or Warband you'll love this.
If you thought the two previous titles were too niche for you, this is probably the one for you. Even in it's beta stage now, it's very functional and has really polished what the series was going for. Bannerlord feels like a very competent sequel that is trying to give the fans what they want.
There is still some progress to be made, though I was an early player of both the original game and Warband when they first released. I trust that the game developers will do everything they can to provide a good game. I'm not glorifying the studio here, but they have been doing early access before it was cool, so I trust them to not squander this release.

Every age you have a new game that comes along and truly blows everything out of the water. This age's game is Sakura Spirit. The game manages to beautifully blend elements of mystery, suprise and world class dialogue, among other things, in order to create what has been come to be known as a masterpiece of gaming. The game's usage of slight erotic tension to make a social commentary on the importance of control of sexuality was absolutely surperb. (incoming potential spoilers) The way that the main character Takahiro, or as the lovely ladies and spirits of the game say Taka-nii, constantly refuses to take advantage of the women of Sakura Spirit is a commentary on the tendency of males to take advantage of women. The developers are intending to make a feminist statement about the world we live in by contrasting the fictional environment of Sakura Spirit. Because you, as the player, are living vicariously through Taka-nii, his tendencies and values are transcribed onto you as the player. Because Taka-nii chooses not to objectify and use the women of the world, these values are therefore transcribed onto you. As such, Sakura Spirit is attempting to make positive feminine statements about men taking advantage of women, even when they are not fully in control of themselves (Maeko-chan's post magic haze and Miyo-chan's drunken bath). However unfortunately the same cannot be said about the tendencies of the game to Slut Shame. On multiple occasions the clothing or lack thereof is commented negatively on by the protaganist, as per the aforementioned transcription, the values are then put on the player. Whilst my feminist core urges me to be angry at the game for the Slut Shaming, I can't help but forgive the game because of all the other fem positive elements as well as, feminism aside, the great core game. The game is absolutely amazing, especially for it's time. The dialogue is, as previously mentioned, word class, it blends elements of sarcasm and seriousness in an attempt to create an environment that helps to flourish intellectual discussion about the elements the game sets forth. The art style and visual elements of the game are absolutely amazing, the style would be considered all round generic and in fairness it is very similar to popular styles, however developers of Sakura Spirit manage to take the original style and portray it in a way that contributes to the current trends of animesque art. Now we come to the core element of the game: Characters. The character construction and development throughout the game is extremely exquisite and depicts great strong powerful women throughout the game. The development of the individual characters is done in such a way that the player cannot help but be left confused and unknowing which girl they like the most.

All Round Great Game; 10/10
P.S Maeko is best girl.
