“Death to the dead and life to the living.” This is the guild password Exiles, exorcists sworn to help souls still tied to the world of the living find peace. But it’s not that simple. And finding the answer to the question of whether the dead deserve forgiveness after everything they have done in life is what the just reviewed Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden from the developers does Don’t nod. They have already become famous thanks to games such as Vampire, Tell Me Why, Remember Me and especially the Life is Strange series. However, this time they decided to base their next story on death, self-centeredness, fear of the unknown, as well as love and forgiveness. This role-playing game has a semi-open world. From the previews, the game looked more than good and I personally was looking forward to the title. After all, I really love the original and well-crafted stories that Banishers certainly offers. If you had asked my opinion halfway through the game, I would have received nothing but praise. Having completed it completely, which took me fifty hours, I had already accumulated a lot of criticism, and another troubled soul was born into this world in vain.
History takes us to fictional story New England in 1695. Specifically, in the cursed colony of New Eden. So, as the so-called Banishers, we set out to explore the city and find out what this curse is and how we can lift it. At the call of an old friend, you go to the city as lovers. Red Mac Raito and Antaeus Duarte. When you first look at the impoverished town of New Eden, you realize that this will not be as easy a task as it might seem at first glance. And your fears will be confirmed by the death of your friend, who called you to the city. However, everything falls apart when Anthea loses her lifethat Red was simply lucky to escape alive and make it to the desert far from the city. But this is only the beginning of the whole story. Anthea has not completely left the world of the living and returns to Red. At least in the form of a ghost that the Exiles swore to exorcise. But the love of these two goes beyond the grave, and so, in order to subdue the evil that has plagued New Eden, they are published together.
The story, as usual with the developers from Don’t Nod, is as follows. pillar of the whole name and here everything is different. The story has a significant amount of mysticism, and also shows us an interesting look at the world of people in the 17th century. That is, with the difference that what people were afraid of then, that is, ghosts and witches, is real in this world. Everything that does not correspond to their worldview is heresy, witchcraft, and they put their faith and life in the hands of God. Her limitations, hatred, pride and resentment create connections in this world that attract the world of the dead. During your journey back to the city of New Eden and liberation, you will meet a whole crowd of refugees, which split into new communities. Everyone carries with them their sins, desires and, above all, their past, which torments them. And it’s up to you to solve the problems of these people and decided their fates. Gradually you will discover the old grievances of the common people, but gradually you will also get to what is behind the curse of New Eden itself and who or what is really behind it. The name is often in front of you not afraid to make difficult decisionsduring which you become not only a ghost hunter, but also a judge, jury, and sometimes the cat himself. You will have to judge the sins of the living and the dead, resolve their disputes, or perhaps reveal to those left in the world the final wishes of their deceased.
It is these moments and decisions that form the basis of the entire experience. Some only affect the people involved in the business, while others will decide the fate of entire settlements. If we’re talking purely about missions where you make decisions and help individuals, then we can consider them as secondary missions. So, you may not be entirely interested in them, but they can still have an impact on the ending of the entire game, provided that after completing them you solve Anteu to be reborn through ritual, which he will tell you about at the beginning of the game. But at the end I was delighted with how everything was written. Side quests often only last about half an hour, but even in that short time they can pique your interest and answer a few questions about the main characters and the events around them. On the contrary, the main story beautifully depicts the journey of human selfishness, fear, as well as love between the main characters and view of the world. death on both sides of the spectrum.
