IGN: Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword Review

IGN: "Mount & Blade is far from the perfect series. It's buggy, ugly as sin and extremely difficult to advance through successfully, but it offers a huge amount of enjoyment to players who are willing to stick it through. That said, With Fire & Sword's storyline doesn't impact the core game in a meaningful way, and the addition of firearms, in my experience, is a detriment, making progression even harder than before.

There's still a lot of good here, and if you haven't played Mount & Blade before then this is a fine place to start, but for fans of the series, Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword simply isn't a must-have expansion."
