I'll definitely be picking it up, I really enjoyed Vampyr and this looks like a solid AA game which, I have to say, usually brings more enjoyment for me these days vs so called AAA games. Will be buying after I finish Robocop as I promised myself some time back 'no pre-orders' and I'm sticking to it lol. Thanks, as always for the review.
I had £20 credit from the Playstation Stars app that bascially cut the game's price in half and I've had a generally good time with all of DontNod's stuff so I had no real hesitations with picking it up.
I used to love their games, then they fell off a progressive cliff with the 2nd installment of Life is Strange onwards(LOVED the first). I just couldn't play their stuff anymore. This one also looks to be the same. Worse, it seems to have Vampyr's system of "you want to be powerful? do evil things". I don't like a game punishing me for playing as morally good. Hard pass. DontNod died a long time ago.
Honestly, whoever is running Focus Home deserves some credit for their contribution to gaming. They have quite an eclectic, and frankly risky mix of games in their catalogue. In a world full of Ubisoft's and Activision's, you need a Focus Home Interactive, ya know?
Yeah but the publisher has standards that's why their games have been very good and refreshing in a creatively dead industry.

Not only that, but they somehow manage to pull everything off AT LEAST to a serviceable/enjoyable level as well. So far I'ver only played Vampyr, but the almos Soulslike action combat is actually enjoyable, given the game's heavy focus on storytelling and moral choices. Combat doesn't feel tacked-on, but rather a core function/feature as well (even if somewhat lacking). On another note, the story and gameplay feel, with the atmosphere and moral dilemmas do not suffer at all due to the inclusion of a faster, deadlier and more fleshed-out combat than most story-driven games, and the looting, upgrader and RPG systems don'T feel tacked-on either, but rather a part of the game itself. That's a rare sight in the genre of the story-driven adventure games (which Dontnod is going for). None of its core features (RPG, combat, story, atmosphere, choices) fall behind/gets overshadowed/made redundant because of the others. Of course the game is not perfect, but it's far from a botched attempt.
Old bloke here. I'm 63, yea, I know! I love this game, been on it for a week now, I play for four hours per night. I have to admit, though, I am playing on easy. It's got better since I got the gun! But I love it.
I played through the entire game (all side missions and main quest) and can wholeheartedly say do get it...better than most recent AAA games and Witcher meets Ghost Whisperer imo.
This has been one of my most anticipated games since it was first announced. Narrative story-driven games like this are 100% my jam, I'm happy to hear it delivered on those fronts.
Was waiting to watch this before I bought. Easy decision to buy now, thanks as always! Also excited for the next podcast! Hope you're feeling a little better
Sadly, had a lot of multiplayer games at the time of Vampyr's release, so I didn't get to play it at launch, but man, did I feel like I made a bad decision, when I finally got to play it.
Such a great game with amazing atmosphere. I remember how terrible I felt when in one district I ate too many people and the entire district collapsed with not enough people to protect it and when I came back it was completely overrun and nobody else was around. I felt like such a POS because I ate a few of them who weren’t that important or good morale to help grow my power. lol. It genuinely made me think, “What did I do!?”
@@TheProphegy exactly, you just wander around the wasteland of the district, all those stories cut short. And it can happen even when your intentions are good! I loved it!

Keep up the great work pal. I started playing Banishers yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised early on when the game started and this continued to grow. I knew it was AA and that's fine, generally these games take far more risks in concept and gameplay. What really helps sell this game is the excellent level of voice work. No offence but British accents in games of older years are superior. The northern accents, the Scots accent add so much character. They feels like they intended to voice the roles of the characters they portray. This really sells the games time frame and grim design. BG3 did the same thing. Throw in Eastern European and British voice work and these games shine. I was playing the rebirth Demo last week and right away the American accent killed it for me...I switched to Japanese... Banishers feels like a really good game. It has soul, character and mystery... Looking forward to throwing more time at it .

I'm not a Dont Nod fan, but am quite interested in Jusant and Banishers, remember avoiding Vampyr cause it looked a bit dated, then got it on the Epic store and loved the game, it's rough but so damn cool and filled with style
I really like the way the game looks, it may not be high fidelity but everything has a remarkable realistic randomness seldom seen in games, if that makes any sense. It's hard to explain but every inch seems handcrafted placing the right trees at the just the right place not to mention the shapes of the trees them selves and the elevation just adds to the sensation.
Had my eye on this when it was announced, especially cause I enjoyed Vampyr so much. Glad to see it is worth the money! Also great to see a new review from you after all the shit you were dealing with! Glad you’re feeling better 🤘🏻
Got this in the mail today. I like DONTИOD's games. I liked them since *Remember Me* (PS3). LOVE that game, which was inspired by Total Recall, but still its own thing. I also have Vampyre, but that’s been on my backlog since release. I doubt Banishers will be on my backlog long, tho.
I think I have a hard time, in general, looking at an RPG in an IP I'm not familiar with (or is new) and feeling like it's worth diving into. If it's not presenting unique gameplay that looks really compelling, I just see a title that has a jumble of RPG words and a lot of dialogue I'm not invested in. So I end up sticking with franchises and sequels that I do know something about even when I end up with a subpar experience.
Cautiously optimistic about this, glad to see a video from you! I really love my action RPGs no matter how jank (I really liked Mars War Logs for some reason LOL) Just bought Helldivers 2 and waiting for Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered and Pacific Drive, so will have to hold out on this just a little bit more. Shame review coverage for this game only coming out so close to launch else would have grabbed this! (good financial decisions also not my forte so will see lmao) Thanks for the review as always!
@@ACGreviews digging it so far. Atmospheric, great music. I’m getting some Sinking City vibes too, which I ain’t mad at. Appreciate the recommendation.
Please do a review for Helldivers 2! The game is a ton of fun but it has not been reviewed by so many people. It's a $40 game but has more chatm and attention to detail than all these other $60 and $70 games.
@@ACGreviews Yeah, their servers have been getting kicked around a lot with the number of players. They didn't expect 100k+ players to be playing their sequel. I hear it's worse for the PS5 folks since their updates and patches can't release as fast due to Sony having to approve them, but PC is getting improvements, especially now that we're back to weekdays and they have more staff on hand.
@@ACGreviews Dang, that's a bummer to hear. I just got done playing all day with some buddies, got 31 hours logged in according to Steam. I can't remember the last game that I've played this much at release. I wish you weren't experiencing so many connection issues. Hopefully you can cover it when they get things sorted out if there are not other titles you have to cover.
Between your review and playing the trial, I’m gonna take the leap of faith and purchase it, every game you’ve given a “BUY” has absolutely worth it, ACG has not been wrong yet, thanks brother
Seems to hit the right notes - decent gameplay in an expanding sandbox to tell good stories. I get very strong Greedfall vibes, and that was an excellent story that deserved better polish in the gameplay (why did they keep reusing the palace map for all the factions?)
I think Greedfall also needs to improve map design because GF1 had very confusing layouts. Very easy to get lost within mazes labeled towns and villages and also the forest. What a horrible design choice. Outside of that and adding more companion dialogue, I'm ready for part 2.
My comment on how to fix the DLSS issue for all affected games (which are a lot) keeps getting deleted, presumably by UA-cam, so I'll make it less detailed. Get Nvidia Profile Inspector -> Select the game in the top left (not all games read the global profile) -> Under "Common" change the setting that mentions DLSS letter to C or F.
The slow burn that this game is scratched my itch perfectly. And I love-hate the game for making me promise one thing and then make me rethink that promise 20 times.
I really like the game. 50 hours played and i still have lots to do. I really like the exploration, the hunted cases and the story. This is my kind of game
If there wasn't Helldivers 2, Pacific Drive, & Nightingale releasing in February with Dragon's Dogma 2 nearing on the horizon, then maybe I'd consider Banishers. Though, Expeditions (that new Mudrunner game) has more personal appeal, but that's even likely going to get flown over. ...Nightingale might even be a V1-wait.
I'm pretty deep into Persona 3 Reload and I don't see that changing anytime soon. But this is definitely a game I'll be checking out eventually. Looks and sounds fun.
My first thought was that "this looks like Ryse: son of Rome", and all the hacking and slash + spiritual world isn't really my thing, but that choice mechanic, multiple endings and the time period...interesting. Maybe not a buy now, but on a healthy sale prize, yes.
Banishers Ghosts of New Eden looks really interesting, despite some issues. Don't Nod deserve credit for doing something different, much like they did with Remember Me and Vampyre. I like what I'm seeing and I may end up giving the game a shot. Thanks, Karak! As always, I appreciate the honest, unbiased, and detailed review! Keep it up! God bless and stay safe!
Bro on a different note will you review Helldivers 2 at some point of time in the near future. I mean I'm planning to buy the game in my off season days in April and you are a very first person alongside Skillup I'll look at for the review of the game.
There is a demo on Steam now in case you haven't bought the game yet. It's about a 90 mn long play that goes through the intro mission and sets up the gameplay, characters and story nicely.
I bought the game on the PS5 before seeing this review. I always enjoyed watching your reviews even after I purchased the game. This Banishers review is spot on.
Thank you once again, sir. I think I may give this a go, I have a soft spot for the games that you said it takes inspiration from. Vampyre, and Greedfall in particular.
Excellent review, Karak. Detailed, as ever. I hadn't paid much attention to this one before now, but it looks like something to check out. I like DONTNOD.
I’m gonna wait deep sale for this looks interesting but not something be completely sold on and I just spent money on two bangers I grabbed grab blue fantasy relink and helldiver 2.
The lip syncing is improved so much from vampyr. Game is pretty good and I'm glad that studio like Focus is on right step, hopefully other ones will make small steps forward instead of backwards. Great video as always, keep up good work 👍
I played through the entire game (all missable side missions and main quest) and can wholeheartedly say do get it...better than most recent AAA games and Witcher meets Ghost Whisperer imo. Sad story but I loved it.
Had no clue Dontnod had a game coming out. I enjoy most of their games and this looks like another banger. I enjoyed Vampr so, here I go pressing that buy button.
It's nice to see a game advertised that isn't co-op, live service or survival. I've had too much of that crap shoved in my face recently so I'll keep an eye on this.
I can't stop playing this game. I just finished a side quest about the blacksmith and her wife ...love the writing on this one and the choice I have to make was not easy...I wonder how that's gonna affect the narrative. If it's anything like vampyr l,I'm in for a treat.
Lip syncing is still a problem in brand new games in current year… oof… it is always so immersion breaking. Its one of the main things I wish would become an obsolete issue.
Planning on getting it in a few days. Its the kind of game that most people will forget about but for those like myself looking for a game that is in the in-between like Robocop Rogue City then Im all for it. Thanks for the review ACG.
lol I knew they move up the date. It's out today on PC but when I checked it earlier this morning. It said the 13 of February lol seems like they are not confident in this game
Man, this makes me want to really try vampry. Lol I bought it on console and PC but always fall off pretty early in the game to play something else never hating it just not getting pulled in. Will pick this one up even if just to support these type of games.
@@ACGreviews ok, it’s never left me to play list and complete next to greedfall. I just keep bumping them down for other games. I just need to set time to really get deep into the story.

Bro on a different note will you review Helldivers 2 at some point of time in the near future. I mean I'm planning to buy the game in my off season days in April and you are a very first person alongside Skillup I'll look at for the review of the game.
I got really tired of the constant disconnects.
Understandable. I too heard on Twitter about the connection issues. Thanks for the reply mate.
Thanks for the review. This looks like something I want to check out. Is there a demo available?
There is a demo on Steam now in case you haven't bought the game yet. It's about a 90 mn long play that goes through the intro mission and sets up the gameplay, characters and story nicely.
I bought the game on the PS5 before seeing this review. I always enjoyed watching your reviews even after I purchased the game. This Banishers review is spot on.
Thank you once again, sir. I think I may give this a go, I have a soft spot for the games that you said it takes inspiration from. Vampyre, and Greedfall in particular.
Ya was honestly surprised by that
ACG how did you handle the part when the camera was rocking like you're on a wavy sea ⛵️ 🌊
Never heard of this game before. This review has introduced me to it. Looks interesting. But not sure if I'd be willing to fork out full price for it.
That checks out its not cheap
It's because of you that I played Vampyr and now I'm gonna play this one and I'm fairly certain I'll love this one too! Thx.
Excellent review, Karak. Detailed, as ever. I hadn't paid much attention to this one before now, but it looks like something to check out. I like DONTNOD.
Glad you liked it!
I’m gonna wait deep sale for this looks interesting but not something be completely sold on and I just spent money on two bangers I grabbed grab blue fantasy relink and helldiver 2.
I hear ya there
Makes my day when I see the ACG notification! Thanks for all your hard work
thanks hope you dig it
The lip syncing is improved so much from vampyr. Game is pretty good and I'm glad that studio like Focus is on right step, hopefully other ones will make small steps forward instead of backwards. Great video as always, keep up good work 👍
Number 1! There is a CME or Solar Flare coming tomorrow!
I played through the entire game (all missable side missions and main quest) and can wholeheartedly say do get it...better than most recent AAA games and Witcher meets Ghost Whisperer imo. Sad story but I loved it.
Love DONTNOD and wanna support them on this! Besides some issues it looks great
About how long is it? Trying to get something on the shorter side so i can play Dragon's Dogma 2 when it drops
20-25 hours
I’ll be grabbing this later in the year. Tomorrow happens to be the same day that Ultros launches!
Enjoy Ultros. Looks great
Thanks!
Ok I was thinking to wait a bit on this now I have to preorder sheesh my back catalogue is just getting…SMH thanks Karek lol
You bet have a great one!
Never pre order and support anti consumer business practices!
Thanks for the review. Was a bit on the fence about this one.
You and me both!
Excellent review! I find myself liking a lot of stuff you recommend, so I'm going to give it a shot.
Enjoy a unique game
Had no clue Dontnod had a game coming out. I enjoy most of their games and this looks like another banger. I enjoyed Vampr so, here I go pressing that buy button.
Ya wish it had more uhmph in the PR department
Already bought it because Don’t Knod, but still stoked for the videos. Starts slow, but I’m enjoying it so far.
When the audio clip at the end destroys all possible immersion because it has no place in that time period...
I chuckled
It's nice to see a game advertised that isn't co-op, live service or survival. I've had too much of that crap shoved in my face recently so I'll keep an eye on this.
I hear ya there
Honestly. I really like their games. True they are AA titles and have a bit of euro jank but I’m a fan
Loving the talk about the pc settings. Total biscuit would be proud
He was a great guy
I can't stop playing this game. I just finished a side quest about the blacksmith and her wife ...love the writing on this one and the choice I have to make was not easy...I wonder how that's gonna affect the narrative.
If it's anything like vampyr l,I'm in for a treat.
thanks for the review , Looks great but coming from just completing Remnant 2 , my expectations are unrealistic for Banishers to be on the same level
Remnant 2 is great. Did you like it?
Lip syncing is still a problem in brand new games in current year… oof… it is always so immersion breaking. Its one of the main things I wish would become an obsolete issue.
Ya its rough in this one
Thanks for your reviews, sir. If I'm ever debating a game, I always check if you have a review for it first; expectations going in.
No worries!
I'll take this until the next Greedfall comes out. Thanks for the review fam
Planning on getting it in a few days. Its the kind of game that most people will forget about but for those like myself looking for a game that is in the in-between like Robocop Rogue City then Im all for it. Thanks for the review ACG.
You bet. A unique game but very enjoyable
thank you for the excellent review, as always! i’ve been a fan of dontnod since life is strange and i’ll definitely be picking this one up :)
Ive been watching your content for a long time now and ive wondered why you dont include the the sound for the parts whete you talk about audio?
Its there in most at the end just like this one
lol I knew they move up the date. It's out today on PC but when I checked it earlier this morning. It said the 13 of February lol seems like they are not confident in this game
hooray the year is officially started with a ACG review
Indeed
Hey man are you going to review Infinite Wealth and the Suicide Squad? Was looking forward to your takes on these
No working on other games. Those were both sadly during our state emergency storm that took our power and water 2 weeks
Literally never heard of this game until today, now I'm hyped
It wasnt well known for sure
Looks pretty decent. Gonna grab the console version to play with my fiance. Thanks for the review!
You bet enjoy
Man, this makes me want to really try vampry. Lol I bought it on console and PC but always fall off pretty early in the game to play something else never hating it just not getting pulled in. Will pick this one up even if just to support these type of games.
Vampyre is great
@@ACGreviews ok, it’s never left me to play list and complete next to greedfall. I just keep bumping them down for other games. I just need to set time to really get deep into the story.
I own it and I absolutely LOVE the game! 9/10!!!
The man the myth the legend of game of reviews. I am going to get it my friend. ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽😉
I am absolutely in love with this game!
Been waiting for this review!
