The Banner Saga

How is this not being talked about? I was blown away. Just recently heard about this. Hand drawn art and animation with a strong attention to style and story. I haven't been into the Turn based strategy game in a while but this looks really fantastic.

I know. This is an amazing game. I love the art work that recalls early Disney animated films like Sleeping Beauty.
