Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden Review Thread and |OT|

Finished the game. still, have plenty what to do as i finished 1 good ending out of 2. so, plenty what to do still.

probably best ever AA game for me personally. i hope, game will sell well, i would really would like to get Banisher 2.. i am very impressed with the game, it is something interesting and unique.

Playing Banisher, blaming people or ascending or banishing ghosts.
great characters. good story. wonderful world, very well made, great atmosphere, good level design, music, sound pretty well made too.
didn't encounter any bugs or glitches but in few areas it was some sort of slowdown.
combat good, devs missed to create some combos with light, heavy attacks. there is some weight behind melee, shooting standard.
worst part that combat is not most responsive, like you see attack, pushing, but it's too late. shooting a little too snappy sometimes.
second minus, that there aren't enough fast travel, so you get to run around a lot and world is pretty big, so in late game is a little bit tiresome especially if you doing haunting cases and other side staff.
third, enemy variety is not the biggest, wished there was few more.

probably, knowing it is AA, i would rate as 10/10.

forgot to add. that there is a skill tree. but it is divided into 5 parts. each unlock through the story. each part offers more skill to choose from.
every branch(multiple branches) in that part has 4 skills, but you can unlock just two.

so there is some builds which you can make, because you can't unlock all skills.

also, there are armors and trinkets which makes your defense and offense. those has not just attribute points but also extra skills which can add to your build.

at later date will add some pictures from different locations

There can be, depends on your build.

I had no idea that guns were an option in this game. I just assumed it was swords. Can I use a gun for the entire game?

So who has the game and has been enjoying it? Curious.

Just bought it, but just started. Just completed the opening game play where it then shows you the startup screen for the game.

Forgot to post my review.

Completed Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

• Visuals - 9.0/10 (excellent)
• Audio - 8.0/10 (great)
• Gameplay/Combat - 6.5/10 (above average)
• Story/Characters - 8.5/10 (great)
• Overall - 8.0/10 (great)

Enjoyed the story and characters, the world, the audio, the visuals, etc. but wasn’t a fan of the combat system at all nor did I like the upgrades, the God of War camera setup which affects combat in a negative way or the fact that there’s no way point on screen which forces you to keep the compass on at the top of the screen which for me is an automatic negative in any game because I hate the compass as in my opinion, it will forever be old, outdated and obsolete. Not to mention the fact that it never truly guides you where you need to go. This non-existent way point and being attached to the compass is becoming a trend and I hate it. It was in Avatar, is in Banishers and from the looks of things, I think it’s in Star Wars Outlaws as well. Developers need to stop forcing the player to keep/use the compass. UGH.
