Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Golden Game, absolut wunderschöne Story. Banisher sollte eine erfolgreiche Gameserie werden.

A good idea, poor execution. This game's problems lie in its narrative and its characters. They evoke no emotion, save irritation. No empathy, no sympathy, not even hatred. The main character is completely insensitive. They try to portray every female character as "strong," "stronger than the main character," and they do it so poorly that the game feels absurd. For 1695 America, there are too many people per square meter with a nontraditional sexual orientation. The dialogue is boring and often ridiculous. The enemy variety is very limited. The problem with this game is that it's designed for a "modern audience" that doesn't exist. Ultimately, you don't believe in this world (setting); it doesn't feel believable, and you don't empathize with the characters. I'd start this game and put it down for 3-4 hours, then force myself to play for 15 minutes, couldn't take it anymore, and put it down again for several hours.

Death to the living. Life to the dead.

🎮 [u]Gameplay[/u] 🔲 Excellent 🔲 Good ✅ Average 🔲 Poor 🔲 Staring at Walls is better Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden blends action RPG combat with investigative exploration and narrative-driven choices. Switching between Red and Antea adds a layer of tactical variety, with physical and spectral abilities complementing each other in combat. Fights are serviceable but held back by limited enemy variety. Encounters start to feel repetitive as similar enemy types appear frequently, reducing the need to adapt strategies. Puzzles, while initially engaging, become increasingly tedious and repetitive, often interrupting the pacing rather than enhancing it. Traversal is another weak point. The game leans heavily on backtracking, and the fast travel system is unnecessarily restrictive, requiring you to physically reach a campsite before jumping to another one, which adds friction to exploration. 🌄 [u]Graphics[/u] 🔲 Beautiful ✅ Good 🔲 Decent 🔲 Bad 🔲 Paint.exe The game excels in environmental storytelling. Colonial-era settlements, dense forests, and fog-covered landscapes create a hauntingly immersive world. Lighting and atmosphere carry much of the visual appeal, giving each area a somber, melancholic tone that reinforces the narrative themes. 🎵 [u]Audio[/u] 🔲 Eargasm ✅ Amazing 🔲 Good 🔲 Not too Bad 🔲 Bad The soundtrack is emotionally resonant, blending subtle orchestral pieces with ambient tension. It enhances both quiet exploration and dramatic story moments effectively. Voice acting stands out, delivering the game’s heavy emotional themes with conviction. 📖 [u]Story[/u] 🔲 It will replace your life ✅ Good 🔲 Average 🔲 Text or Audio Floating Around 🔲 No story The narrative is the game’s strongest pillar. The writing is thoughtful and mature, focusing on grief, love, and sacrifice. Both Red and Antea feel like real characters but their relationship feels lacking in the "close-ness" expected of a married couple. Moral decision-making is complex and often uncomfortable. Choices rarely have clear “right” answers, forcing players to weigh personal values against consequences. These decisions carry real emotional weight and shape the outcome in meaningful ways. 🛡️ [u]Difficulty[/u] 🔲 Difficult 🔲 Easy to Learn / Hard to Master 🔲 Average ✅ Easy 🔲 Just press "A" Combat hardly offers challenge and higher difficulty comes more from endurance in repeated encounters rather than mechanical complexity. This ties back to limited enemy variety which causes combat to be "predictable". 🔁 [u]Replay-ability[/u] 🔲 Infinitely replay-able 🔲 Many Times 🔲 A few times 🔲 Maybe Once ✅ No replay value While multiple endings and branching choices provide a solid reason to replay, the tedious exploration and barebones combat stops the player from doing so. I am not a fan of locking the plot twist behind the bad ending. I urge all players to watch all the endings online after your playthrough for a crucial understanding of the story plot. ⏳ [u]Length[/u] 🔲 To infinity and beyond ✅ Very Long (50 to 150 hr) 🔲 Long (25 to 50 hr) 🔲 Average (10 to 25 hr) 🔲 Short (4 to 10 hr) A full playthrough offers a substantial but manageable runtime, though padding from backtracking and puzzles can make it feel longer. 🖥️ [u]Hardware Requirement (1440p / 75+ FPS)[/u] 🔲 Ask NASA if they have a spare computer 🔲 Fast (RTX 4080 equivalent) ✅ Decent (RTX 2080 equivalent) 🔲 Potato (GTX 980 equivalent) 🔲 Check if you can run paint Despite its detailed environments, performance is generally stable and accessible across mid-range systems. 🪲 [u]Bugs[/u] 🔲 Never heard of ✅ Minor bugs 🔲 Can get annoying 🔲 Game-breaking bugs 🔲 The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs Occasional minor clipping issues may appear, but nothing significantly detracts from the overall experience. 💸 [u]Worth Buying[/u] 🔲 It’s free! 🔲 Worth the price ✅ Minor sale (<30%) 🔲 Major sale (>70%) 🔲 You could also just burn your money A strong recommendation for players who value narrative depth and meaningful choices. Those more focused on gameplay variety may want to wait for a discount. 📝 [u]Rating[/u] 🔲 10 🔲 9 🔲 8 ✅ 7 🔲 6 🔲 5 🔲 4 🔲 3 🔲 2 🔲 1 Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden shines brightest in its writing, atmosphere, and morally complex storytelling. It delivers a deeply emotional experience driven by difficult choices and strong character work. However, repetitive combat, tedious puzzles, and cumbersome traversal systems hold it back from reaching its full potential. 👍 [u]What works:[/u] [list] [*]Strong, emotional writing and character development. [*]Complex moral decision-making with meaningful consequences. [*]Atmospheric world design and setting. [*]Excellent voice acting and soundtrack. [/list] ⚠️ [u]What to know:[/u] [list] [*]Frequent backtracking. [*]Puzzle design can become repetitive. [/list] 👎 [u]Weak Points:[/u] [list] [*]Limited enemy variety leads to repetitive combat. [*]Restrictive fast travel system [*]Plot understanding requires watching all the endings of the game. [/list] [u]TL;DR:[/u] Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a narrative-driven experience with rich atmosphere and meaningful choices. While its storytelling excels, repetitive gameplay elements and clunky traversal prevent it from fully matching its emotional ambition.

Хороший сюжет Хорошая графика Не плохая боевка Игра остается в памяти после прохождения

A brilliant game with a unique atmosphere, setting and plot. Plenty of action but primarily story heavy, so if you're looking for a straight shoot-em-up, this ain't it. Content is as long or as short as you want it to be as the main story line is a decent length but relevant side quests are insanely abundant almost like they're mini-stories, not just "busy work" like some games. I'm not crazy about the steering landscape and would like a more open world, but that's always been a pet peeve of mine personally and this one is exceptionally so. I can't traverse ankle deep water, walk through light foliage or drop off a 3 inch ledge because of an invisible wall. Yet at the same time being in labyrinth-like mines seems severely lacking in directional hints and can get very frustrating. But given the rest of the game I can look past these and I would absolutely recommend this game and I will be replaying it and going for 100% completion.
