Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden - Review After 100% 

I just wanted Vampyr 2!!!!! :/ What do you thino @MortisimalGaming? Wouldnt you prefere a Vampyr 2 game?

Great review! You and ACG are the reviews that I actually pay attention to and look forward to now. I love my Sirius x and it runs great but I bought a legion go and that's my addiction now when it comes to gaming I would like to see maybe you incorporate the Asus Rog Ally or anything with the Z1 extreme in it you know into your reviews somehow that would be great. You know by compatibility how it runs. You know if you can run a smooth 60 or not just because the Z1 extreme is much more powerful than the steam deck so I would like to see how that compares. But yeah I'm glad that it runs great. I was excited about this game. Reminds me of a smaller version of the Witcher you know in the sense the way you're banishing goes like and you're doing with your three, even though you also do monsters in that game. But still glad to hear that it's got lots of side content and side stories and everything you know ties in at the end. I'm all for it the combat. I'm sure it'll get approved little by little with updates. It'll get better and better. Will it get perfect. Probably not. You know that's not really their strong suit. As you can tell with vampir that was the one thing where they struggled the most, but they're getting better at it. So I have hope that it'll be better in another game or two. They'll they'll be. You know successful and their combat will have gotten to the point where it's good using Google's auto voice dictation on the Pixel so if I didn't miss anything or any punctuations on my bad

Wow that’s so awesome

@@mrdadecounty3056I just watched ACG as my first review of this and now I’m here lol. You have great taste friend

​@@kingdrakart7351why would want more bland boring dogshit

NICE. They definitely knew what they were doing.

Lol that’s amazing

Dude, that's so damn good.

I want to play Remember Me. I still regret not getting it in a bundle in 2016 lol

@@sodapopinksi667 i have some of those regrets too. I have yet to play that one but will play it on the Steam Deck in the near future!

Are you stupid wtf

The first Life is Strange is hands down in my top 5 games of all time. Very few games actually hit me in an emotional way. But the climax of Chapter 2, on the roof, I remember distinctly having anxiety stress in my stomach. You know that burning acid feeling you get when you get anxious about something? That hit me leading up to that scene. And they set it up so well too. For me, I love most games I play, but I can't really consider them my personal GOATs unless I feel a genuine emotional reaction to them. And LiS 1 definitely hit me in the feels. Love that game. They also made the one vampire protagonist game that I actually enjoyed playing, as I really hate the vampire genre as a whole. But their Vampyr actually was set up in a way that I could enjoy playing. So yeah when I saw the trailers for this, I was very interested.

@@happyninja42 The writing in their games is top notch, Vampyr and LIS are my favorites as well, also really liked Remember Me.

@@DoomsdayMayBeOkay Rmember Me was done by DontNod? Didn't know that. That one didn't really hit any vibes for me so it kind of just flew past my radar. Might have to check it out.

We must live in different worlds. I haven't met a single Don't Nod game that I enjoyed. They are barely video games. I feel like the writers wanted to work in TV or movies but landed at a video game studio instead.

@@thomashooper2451 eh, different tastes for different people. 🤷‍♂

personally, I don't play games with forced blacks in them.

I feel ya. I had no idea this game existed until like an hour ago and a bunch of reviews came out for it.

That’s a little surprising considering there was tons of RU-vid marketing over the past year on it. Guess that wasn’t enough though

You both been living under a rock? This has been on my radar for months

WTF?! It ain't DontNod's fault that you guys have been living under a giant rock. There's tons of trailers, especially in the last few months, presenting and showcasing each and every detail about this game. It was also shown on every big gaming event last year. How you still managed to miss it is beyond me 🙈

Same. I know this game exist because of this review.😂

Not the whole time. There is a point where that starts to happen more but you can find two in game reasons for that, one via a haunting and the other via lore. Essentially ghosts lose their humanity the longer they are around before becoming specters. I will say it can be a bit gratingbut ymmv

​​@@lastking3185Don't fall for the misogynist propaganda that goes around in certain gamer circles these days. I played through the game and everything feels natural. There is a certain part where the circumstances make them bicker at each other more.

You also have to keep in mind that Red is technically the reason Antea dies in the beginning of the game (whether he was influenced or not is up for debate) , so she's got a pretty valid reason to be mad at him. Mostly the banter between them feels organic to how a long time couple will often snipe at each other with little jabs that aren't meant to be truly hostile

Wait til you get the missile launcher

Remember me was also interesting

Skaal!

@@MarkWilson-ij9jd :). Skaal

I dont remember if I mentioned it or not, main story is like 15-20 hours, full clear is more like 40

Let me guess, it was an empty promise and you didn't watch the video.

Confirmed to be in the same universe as Vampyr actually

@@mtg1776 or it means in Vampyr not killing any humans 🤷🏻‍♂️ which unfortunately you need to do to unlock stronger abilities.

No, it doesn't affect your level or exp the way Vampyr does

@@MortismalGaming that’s awesome, thanks!

​@@michaellangan5037Considering the clear context of your question, I feel like that person's initial reply was an attempt to compensate for their own feelings of inadequacy

@@Blasted2Oblivion 😂😂😂 I mean I figured it was a pretty clear question 🤣 but thanks!

Yeah, stealth isnt really a thing beyond 1 or 2 scripted moments

@@MortismalGaming Thanks for confirming! That's a shame, but on the other hand I can see how it wouldn't necessarily be a thing in a game about banishing ghosts. Was hoping maybe some of Anteas ghost abilities might satisfy the stealth gamer in me though.

Ascend makes the most sense to me, blame is a bit forced and kind of out of character imo

I was gonna play Vampyr several times. I decided to do the hardest version where I don't feed on anyone first. I got to the ending and read the room on how that ending would be different. I decided I didn't need to be depressed and just stopped at one playthrough.

I think the 'good' ending was the was most rewarding from a storytelling stand point

No

QTEs are my least favorite things about so many modern games. 😫 I have nerve damage in my hands, so they make a lot of games literally unplayable for me.

@@sylvirgiomanach1491 Sad to hear about your nerve damage :(
