With Banishers, Don’t Nod has delivered a solid RPG that’s easy to recommend for fans of the genre. It doesn’t break new ground by any means, and from clunky combat to overly straightforward progression mechanics, it does have some issues that drag it down at times, but there’s plenty else here that makes up for the game’s flaws.
A strong, well-realized setting, an excellent pair of protagonists, and weight choice and consequence mechanics come together in a massive step forward for Don’t Nod in the action RPG space. Will it be remembered as one of the best games of its kind, or perhaps even its year? Maybe not- but there’s plenty to like here, nonetheless.
