DON'T NOD·Released Feb 13, 2024·Single player
Hunt ghosts as two memorable characters in a story-driven Action-RPG where your decisions carry dramatic consequences. Torn between honoring your oath to the living and saving your departed partner, how far will you go for love?
Eurogamer's review of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, a poignant story of grief and injustice.
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a love story about loss and sacrifice, propelling its choice-driven narrative forward amidst middling combat.
It’s a whole game made of Witcher 3 contracts that will make you cry
Some gripping ghost stories justify gathering around Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden's campfire, but an open world full of routine skirmishes and mindless repetition might just scare you off again. As Dontnod's longest game yet, Banishers underlines the value of a tighter focus.
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden sees developer DON'T NOD reach a new development peak, as it marries an excellent narrative with engaging and enjoyable gameplay. Poor enemy variety and technical flaws hold it back from true greatness, but its excellent, story-focused side quests on the other side make a few drab combat encounters worth pushing through. The studio's best game to date, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a new IP we hope is here to stay.
This action game’s memorable story and inspired investigative cases help offset its wonky combat.
Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden is a sort of goth Uncharted where you find-and-replace "treasure" with "ghosts". It has problems, but it's a pretty billboard time
