We’ve all been there. You open up PlayStation Plus in search of something new to play.
Instead of quickly making a decision, you spend well over an hour weighing up your options only to load up Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone for the gazillionth time.
What if I attempted to ease that woe?
If you’re a fan of RPGs then allow me to recommend Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, an RPG that will reward you with well over 70-hours of entertainment.

This one is hosted on the extra tier of PlayStation Plus, so you will need an extra tier membership if you want to get involved.
Developed by TaleWorlds Entertainment, Bannderlord is the prequel to Mount & Blade: Warband, plus it acts as a standalone expansion to the 2008 Mount & Blade.
All of this to say that no, you don’t need to have played a previous Mount & Blade entry in order to hop into Bannerlord.
“The horns sound, the ravens gather. An empire is torn by civil war. Beyond its borders, new kingdoms rise. Gird on your sword, don your armour, summon your followers and ride forth to win glory on the battlefields of Calradia. Establish your hegemony and create a new world out of the ashes of the old,” reads the synopsis.
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will launch as a day one release on PlayStation Plus next month. Take a look at the game’s trailer below.
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord will task you with raiding and conquering your way across a medieval sandbox world.
You’ll need to raise armies, craft weapons, recruit supporters, manage your army, trade in materials, and make political decisions.
You’ll want your clan to gain the respect of the nobility of Calradia if you are to succeed.
You can play from a first or third person perspective during battles, with a skill-based direction combat system.
Don’t just take my word for it when I say that it’s a great game.
Over on the PlayStation Store, users have rated Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord a respectable 4.21 out of five possible stars.
Not your cup of tea? The next extra tier batch of games will be announced on Wednesday 14 August.
