“I just finished Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden after about 42.4 hours, unlocking 33 out of 43 trophies, and overall… I liked the game. But it’s clearly a game of huge highs and frustrating lows. Let’s start with the…”
“A detective ghost story game, with a surprisingly tender narrative? Sign me up. Yes, the combat isn't the most fully fleshed out, and the enemy types become a little repetitive throughout the game play. But the story…”
“Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is a half-rotten, half-fresh apple. The game world looks amazing, the sound design is great. Voice acting is really good. Animations are fluent and the combat is just fun, especially once…”

“Scroll to 2nd from the bottom (FINAL VERDICT) for a summary. Everything else is my experience updated as I played. At the bottom is a list of critiques on what I'd do to save this game from itself. ENTRY 1 8/10: for…”
“I thought this would be just an appetizer before Greedfall II released. Who would have thought it would turn out to be the main course. But this is so much bigger and better game than first impressions imply. It's not…”

“One of the few games I had to stop playing because of the repetitiveness. Combat is a joke, and the story keeps getting interrupted here and there while our focus has to be the antagonist of the game. It started strong…”
“I can't believe that I have to give this game a thumbs down before I even finished it. I just couldn't. 70% of what this game has to offer you already played elsewhere and better. Corridor-like level design, semi open…”

“The game was middle tier for me personally. Parts of the story were engaging but a lot felt like drawn out waffle, travel all the way to a destination for a word and repeat, the main story doesn't really have many…”
“I've had enough with this dumb game. It started so well, then it floundered like a corpse rotting in the sun. The more you play, the more boring and repetitive it gets. You constantly fight the same enemy in the same…”

“Meh. Very cool setting and lore are weighed down by inconsistent characters and often poor writing. Combat is mid but wasn't the worst, if writing was better I wouldn't care nearly as much. Many side quests are…”

“[i]What's haunt when we can live a little longer?[/i] A game that is able to shine with his writing, where there are so many intertwined, moving stories, in a doomed end of 17th century US colony. I shed more than a tear, and I've completed all side missions and haunting cases…”
