    I appreciate these Before You Buy videos so much. Games are so expensive now, both in price and time commitment, and over the years I've come to trust Jake and Falcon's rewiews to be balanced and honest and as spoiler free as possible. It's really helpful especially when I'm on the fence about any given title.

Was abit nervous that it was going to be poorly recieved as alot of games are these days and just don't live up to this hype. But this game may well end up being an underdog that rises up and is much loved. (I hope) cause many ppl hadn't heard about it till now are quite keen to play it after what they've seen online and reviews. Which is great for DontNod and ofc great for this game. I really hope overall it continues to be recieved well and gets great reviews. I'm buying it this week 😍

    @FabletopChronicles 3 місяці тому +3

    Jake, you're a man after my own heart I absolutely share the same sentiment. I applaud game companies that have the courage to try different ways of telling a story, in lieu of finding some "formula" of gameplay that's aiming to be the next "license-to-print-money" gaming craze. Focus always has that courage, and heart... telling a compelling and engaging series of smaller stories that, while they may not amount to a great big story that goes anywhere or is coherent, the trajectory is on, and hopefully they are just tightening down that target and getting better with each pass? With Vampyr I found the gameplay loop seriously deal-breaking for me. Get to some new area where you're stuck to do a bunch of little stuff felt Sisyphean after the first hospital area is finished that I put it down and never again returned, I was so turned off by the prospect of having to now repeat a gameplay aspect that I thought was just part of some lazy writing in connecting disparate story parts, but no indeed the thing I disliked most in Vampyr was the thing it hung the crux of it's gameplay upon. Perhaps some day I'll return to it with a more open mind... but this one I've been eyeing for some time, and because I share your sentimentality, taste and virtually everything else in regard to video games on an almost esoteric level (makes game shopping easy if you've done a review!), I am going to go grab this one and sit down and dig in. Thanks for the BYB as always, I had a sneaking suspicion that combat would still be the thing that suffered in their game, 'spose my only true concern being that pacing thing. If the story is dragging its feet or forcing me to backtrack for item walls and such I may literally do the same thing as I did with Vampyr unless this has even more pathos to it. But at least I've been warned, thanks, Holmes! Forget IGN gameranx is literally my go to for everything game content, has been for years. Thanks for that!
    MORE ON TOPIC, personal thoughts since you opened the comments to it :) :
    Ghosts are a phenomenon too ancient, rampant and conceptually simple to NOT have some validity. I've never experienced anything that was so preternatural it was clearly the work of some ephemeral entity, but I do know that energy cannot be created or destroyed, merely transferred. I also know, having once lost both my first wife and my father on the same day in unrelated incidents, that I feel them with me and in a very real way (if not exactly in "words") I hear them when they are trying to tell me something. I feel them always and the love that is there has never diminished, but not as though they were trapped in any way like many more tortured or ostensibly 'malevolent' spirits are attributed that characteristic. And if I am incorrect in it, well then it's still not really bad news at all because it means that love alone is powerful and intoxicating enough a force that we simply believe and know in our hearts that those who are beloved to us are with us in some way, inferring that the worst case scenario is that love is so strong we basically manifest that comfort or that feeling of "having" lost loved ones there with us; so the outcome is the same! If we won't know until we pass and stay on the other side, then what does it matter whether or not we can prove anything? The knowing is enough for me.

    I'd give it a 78/100 from what I've played. I am really enjoying it so far. I love supernatural/horror and I love a good narrative. This game appeared to have both, judging from the previews and early reviews. So I purchased it and do not regret it. I prefer linearity over open worlds and I don't have a lot of time for in-depth, complex games with tons of crafting, customization and inventory management. Evil West was a recent game that I had an absolute blast playing through because of it's simplicity and fun.
    I do agree with Jake that it seems like exploring off the beaten path doesn't feel very rewarding and picking things up is boring. Even reading the journals/letters, which provide extra lore and are well-written, go through a slow animation and it feels a little tiring. Also when you observe an object, the game locks you out of doing anything until the dialogue/banter is over. I can see if maybe it's a quest item or important piece of dialogue, but these are just optional objects. Hopefully, they remove this in a patch, because it's really stripping away the freedoms of the player. Some of the animations and objects are a bit bland, like climbing for example. The combat is comparable to a watered down Souls game. Better than Steel Rising, but nothing jaw-dropping. Story, characters, and atmosphere (so far) are worth it for me.

    I think I have the answer to the fighting problem, the thing is the combat is very responsive and intuitive but it’s also very rhythmic, there is input log and delay. You can’t spam attack in hopes that it will work, there are strategies like keeping Antea at low energy and constantly swapping between the leads utilizing the gun and the dash. I think the biggest issue for people is the fact that it’s very rhythmic, you just have to get used to it and the combat becomes very satisfying and switching between characters becomes much less of a slog the more abilities you unlock, like switching after a block of after a 3rd attack. Attacking ghost enemies with only Antea won’t be satisfying and will feel like you just gotta punch enough but that’s not how the combat was designed, you are supposed to utilize both of the characters at the same time no matter the situation but depending on the situation you need to know who is a better choice to be the damage dealer and the support. I find the combat very satisfying and polished ever since I got the hang of it even tho in the beginning of the game my opinion was that the combat felt weird and unfinished

    Jake, I could tell you wanted to love this game from your review, and I think you do an amazing job staying non-biased in all 9f your videos. I especially appreciate how you strongly emphasized all the great environment, story, and voice acting so not to deter us from wanting to see for ourselves. And, of course, I appreciate your take on what you feel hold the game back.
    I will certianly be checking it out myself. I fell in love with the trailer immediately
    Ever since Mass Effect Andromeda, I've been very hesitant to watch or read any online reviews before i try a game myself. Im not defending Mass Effect: Andromeda, but I felt the overabundance of reviews and criticisms were ruining my ability to have my own objective opinion(and i took a vacation from work just to play it) ...
    Gameranx is about the only review media i watch.
    Thank u all for all you do

      This is so true! I, too, deeply appreciate how Jake always stays non-biased and also very respectful in his reviews. It's so rare!!! Reviewers/critics always trash games they don't like, and by this they ruin other players' experiences, or even the developers (bad reviews-> bad sales-> potentially ends a franchise or the studio's career). Most of the time they don't even bother bringing up positive things about games, even though clearly, the people behind games work very, very hard, even if they make some mistakes in the process.
      We all have different tastes so I think (no, it is actually a fact) that it's always unfair to say a game is outright bad and cannot be enjoyed. This is just their personal opinion. As long as there's even 1 person in the world who loves that particular game, you can't say that it's a bad game and unplayable!
      Sorry I just had to share my thoughts, especially with a like-minded person who appreciates good, respectful game reviews too. 🙂

    I’ve been interested in this game since it was announced at the 2022 Game Awards. It just looks like the type of game I’ve always dreamt of: a ghost-hunting game! Not zombie slaying or survival horror, but ghost-hunting!
    I’ve been getting real strong Plague Tale vibes from it, which is a series I loved.
    This is going to be so underrated and so many people are sleeping on this game. But unfortunately, I get the feeling most people won’t play Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden until it’s a free monthly game on PS Plus

    id like to see if the devs make a follow up, taking the criticisms and building on them. i feel like theres a ton of potential with this game!
    i also tend to go easy on AA devs, often im less critical if they offer a new, fresh idea. to me, its harder to write a good story than building a good control scheme. I can definitely cut some slack if the story is riveting enough.

    I’ve been really enjoying it so far and as I make choices within the game, I’m already thinking about how I might choose something different the next play through! I actually preordered it, which is something I tend not to do because I’ve been burned a few times. But with this one, I was able to see enough gameplay to feel confident. For me, most of it’s about the story. While I enjoy challenging combat, I’m usually not playing a game because of the combat. I also really like games that don’t give you every detail about the world and lore but it’s there if you want to explore further.

    Something I think people that review games does not take in consideration, at least in this example, if the setting is the 1600, the world will be mostly empty. It makes total sense. You just cannot simply expect to be roaming the world in the 1600 and see a freaking Apple Store or whatever, or an amusement park, you get the point. You’d probably see plenty of wild animals though.
