I discovered this ost first before I bought the game. When it comes to video game music, I'm usually drawn to the battle themes. I feel like the battle themes in Banner Saga give off a slower, more "dreary" vibe (unlike in games like Final Fantasy where it gives off a more "epic" vibe), which I think reflects the refugees' hard journey and the terror that they face. It intrigued me enough to want to buy the game and ultimately immersed me deeper into the world.
