Great game at all, for AA title it felt like an AAA.

Banishers is so far one of my Games of Thr Year for 2024 along side Dragons Dogma II. The interactive story is one of the most intriguing things about the game with multiple endings making the replay value high.

The graphics are great, the combat is fun, the story is incredible, and I haven't had any bugs in my playthrough. The game isn't perfect, it can drag a bit and feel a little slow. It isn't the easiest game to get into but it is a fun game with God of War like combat and a branching narrative you won't want to miss.

I definitely recommend this game.

The story is well done but the combat and after story related quests fall flat for me. It is a good game to get on sale.

The relationship between Antea and Red feels genuinely deep, the voice acting is top quality, and the story is rich and emotional. I cried at the end. The gameplay is just WAY too generic. The open world is completely unmemorable, the combat is dead simple, and the side missions are narratively beautiful but a slog to get through.

The highs of this game are so high. I LOVE the relationship between Antea and Red, and the main story takes them on a wonderful, emotional journey together. Were I able to focus on just this, it would have been one of my favorite games this year.

But the game is just so bloated. Reading about this game, you're going to hear about the giant world map full of "checklist open world" type content, and that is part of the issue. It doesn't really serve the core successes of the game and instead distracts from them.

It also suffers though from side content that is narratively compelling and, generally, pretty formulaic. It is hard to feel like I'm untangling the mysteries of a settlement when every story plays out with such a strictly adhered-to pattern.

I wish I could have loved this as much as I did Vampyr
