Strong, emotional narrative and character arcs
Compelling moral choices and player agency
Uneven pacing with dull moments between highlights
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is an action-adventure RPG with a strong narrative focus. Critics praise its emotional storytelling, particularly the complex love, loss, and sacrifice themes. The interplay between the two main characters and the complex moral choices they face is highlighted as a strength. However, the combat and pacing receive mixed feedback, with some critics finding the combat repetitive and the game’s pacing uneven. The overall experience, though flawed, is considered compelling and emotionally engaging.
