Bannerlord is a hard game to recommend. The core of the game is very good - Battles are incredibly satisfying, early game settlement management is fun. Unfortunately everything quickly spirals into a chore once you start scaling up. Managing large armies is tedious, loot from large battles is time-consuming and difficult to sort through, bigger battles can take absolute ages to resolve, and god help you if you have to deal with a siege.

Bannerlord is at its best when you're managing an unlanded clan working as a mercenary, or maybe managing a small territory. Once you start scaling up it quickly becomes unmanageable.
