Banishers - 12 Things You Need To Know Before You Buy

With a release date right around the corner on 13th February, Banishers is Don’t Nod’s new game release in seven months, following on from last year’s Jusant.
The pressure of love against a backdrop of undead apparitions, betrayal, sacrifice, and death are central pillars supporting Banishers macabre storytelling. This video aims to unpack 12 essential things you need to know before pulling the trigger on a pre-order, covering setting, setting, combat, moral ambiguity and more in this enticing action-RPG.

Banishers has everything to be a great game

[@EugeneLee1992]

Hell yeah, loved Vampyr!

[@comradestannis]

It was a good game.

[@rangersnut]

It sucked. Lol. Literally.

[@jojohill27]

For real planning on picking this up I like vampyr and so I think this looks good

[@redstar5594]

Vampyr was AWESOME and I hope there'S gonna be another Vampyr game do you think Banishers will be really good?

[@jojohill27]

I'm not sure but imo from what I've seen it looks really promising and so I did pre-order it on playstation store I wanted the 85 dollar edition on the publisher website but they wanted another 30 bucks for shipping on top for general two day shipping and to me that's get it when you get it shipping and that's not worth 30 dollars again my opinion but I still wanted to get the game but yeah I think it sounds very good 💯👍

[@smoke_jkr2251]

The game really looks good and I am really looking forward to it!

[@vinparty4651]

I'm pretty sure imma pick this one up,looks pretty cool to me

[@ianrice1778]

I just finished vampyr and it ran so smooth on my ps5! I loved it and I'm very excited for banishers. Don't nod makes some interesting games.

[@maxjensenjames9622]

I've been wanting to play vampyr myself. Great to see it's getting good feedback

[@aminlabkhaned9379]

How the fuck this is the first time I'm seeing this did they do any advertisement

[@r.th.7005]

They apparently try to concentrate the communication for the last few days before the release. Remember it is not a AAA studio, usually for video games budgets from big companies, 50% is for communication and marketing. It is not a big studio, they surely have not this luxury. Eventually if you like the devs work, you can share the game to your friends, it can help them to continue this kind of game :)

[@aminlabkhaned9379]

@@r.th.7005 it's looks awesome I hope it as good I think it is and get attention

[@Un-Woke]

I'm playing Vampyr for the third time right now. Love that game...one of the best vamp games.

[@ToallpointsWest]

Looks good! Added it to my wish list!

[@mayuthedemon33]

Pre ordered it looked good

[@BloodyyPenguin]

Good morning yall.

[@DirtCobaine]

This looks awesome. I love monster hunting/supernatural hunting but in a detective way, not like a super obnoxious Monster Hunter type of way. My favorite part of the Witcher games for example isn’t the main quest. But the Witcher contracts and the clue analyzing. Which is why I love Arkham Knight so much too.

[@DerEchteAndrej]

Looks promising! I think I will switch from Rise of the Ronin to this one, unexpectedly. I pick just two or three games per year which are released in the running year because I have a huge backlog and limited amount of time. My choice so far: - Prince of Persia: TLC - Dragon's Dogma II - Banishers

[@carlosoto1115]

Looking forward for this game

[@dalebirkenstock2580]

Haven't played Vampyr, but this looks amazing. Loved their previous work on Life is Strange.

[@classicman0516]

That was different people in the company who made life is strange (dont nod Montréal)

[@dalebirkenstock2580]

@@classicman0516 thanks didn't know that. This game looks really good though.

[@classicman0516]

@@dalebirkenstock2580 you're welcome! Dont nod Montréal was just recently opened and the people who made life is strange 1&2 moved over there

[@shadowdires]

is the PC version KB mouse or controller

[@r.th.7005]

Looks great, like a God Of War 2018, but with a dark story, choices, and from a studio well known for the high quality of its stories.... !!

[@maxjensenjames9622]

Been waiting on this game. Can't wait. And good to see people in the comments excited aswell. Been a while since a game wasn't being swarmed with hate. Maybe I'm just decided to put on rose coloured goggles for this one. 😅 No ones gonna ruin it for me.

[@robertwatson5104]

Looks interesting

[@kirank287]

Looks pretty cool

[@garretwoeller7669]

Loved Vampyr so this should be great.

[@Brendangotgudgaming]

I also seen this game has an attribute scaling system like dark souls and elden ring witch i thought wasvreally cool seeing regular 3rd person games adapting this even if they arent a souls like that system just works great for gaming i love the fact you can biuld out a characters health and strong suits depending on what the player is into

[@damiengrim8375]

Is a jump button kryptonite to game designers because I don’t understand why they never put one in

[@finchharper4647]

I love but suck at these games. Is there an EASY MODE?

[@billythekid9484]

Not only is there an easy mode but there's also a "story" mode where is basically impossible to get killed in combat.. its made for Pele who just want the story and want to FEEL powerful.. pretty cool for gamers that aren't that good at action games..

[@billythekid9484]

P.S. I myself am. Playing it on normal mode but if I were you I'd try easy mode and if that's still too hard switch to STORY mode 🤠🤗

[@luisz222]

This game’s combat reminds me of God of War 2018 and the premise and dialogue systems seem very witcher 3 esque. Those are two of my favorite games of all time . My hope is it’s not too similar to those games as it’ll be branded a clone. It looks cool so far.

[@sawoszao]

Looks interesting but unfortunately dont enjoy jumping betweens pov/ character perspective in games

[@patrickbrooks2644]

So the last of us meets God of war ,meets witcher 3 Very interesting. But story in these kinda game have to me interesting.

[@godnamedtay]

U gotta chill with the “before u buy” titles. I don’t think I need to divulge much on that statement. Let’s get it together gamingbolt. I watch some of ur reviews and want to like u, but u gotta find a different title captions. Cmon boys…

[@jamieanderson8308]

Very not sure about this having watched this video. I kind of enjoyed Vampyr, but found it too story driven and a little slow for me personally. I was hoping for slightly more open world/rpg/action. Something like the Witcher I think. It seems like it’ll be more story focussed than I was hoping it would be. I’ll be keeping an eye on it for sure though as it does look interesting

[@flubnumb]

ARTHUR MORGAN IS ALIVE!!!!

[@BigJonahJ]

I’m worried this is just going to be Forspoken all over again lol

[@damiengrim8375]

Can you jump?

[@BooFyBoi73]

Can someone say if it’s open world or not?

[@Jenema2]

Its not.

[@r.th.7005]

No, it should look like God Of War 2018, with choices

[@BooFyBoi73]

Sweet, thanks fellas.

[@kaikiske7436]

Definitely canceled my pre-order. All of the videos on Focus’ X acct made this game seem like a straight character action game, with some story elements. Seems like a bait & switch. They should’ve highlighted the “investigation” portions if they believed in them, instead of making this look like it played like GOW Ragnarok

[@carltaylor9578]

This looks like it could be on PS3

[@SifuTrix]

Re skinned "Outriders" by Square Enix, if it was set on earth late 1600s. Movement style, graphics style, even the vaulting over scenery to change areas.

[@UnfilteredMedic]

Who wrote the script? "Characters can be switched between." That's not logical sentence structure. 😆

[@Annekromhout]

I just couldn’t get over just how poor the lip syncing was. Turned me off massively.

[@RavenousSpectre]

Ya had to bring up colonialism didn't ya? Who cares dude? What merit does that have? It's a frigging fantasy game.

[@agentooe33AD]

Colonialism for the win!

[@RavenousSpectre]

@@agentooe33AD LOL!

[@mr.kwamid-86_43]

colonialism bad, darling :*@@agentooe33AD

[@mr.kwamid-86_43]

colonial setting, that is why he mentioned it. stay woke, darling :*

[@auada8569]

Yep, not for me.

[@bullittproof]

Almost every single setting in modern media is derivative nowadays. No need to point it out.

[@TheDuxun1977]

i just hope the female co-lead is not just a woke DEI , DIE or ESG character insert

[@andewgeeves]

The entire game is based around the couple. You’re an idiot if you think having a woman in it is “woke”

[@DucatiDiaries]

Seriously. As soon as I saw it, I wrote the game off. Can't stand woke garbage anymore.

[@Avoca91]

Yeah cuz god forbid we have any sort of minorities in our games 😂

[@user-bx2yf8sw1t]

I've only seen 1 trailer how is this character Woke ? And can you describe what Woke means in detail?

[@DucatiDiaries]

​@@user-bx2yf8sw1tIf you need us to answer either of those questions, then you're clearly woke. 😂

[@robard418]

Pass

[@NickyHC]

Another boring game, games these days suck! Games aren't fun like they use to be!

[@GuyDeaux]

You played it?

[@JohnDoe-go6ls]

Maybe you just don't like gaming anymore and should just find a new hobby instead of dumping on the one you don't like anymore.

[@noneya9421]

70 $ for 20 hours of game play smh 😂I’ll pass or pick up on sale when it’s dirt cheap

[@classicman0516]

It's 60

[@Devver08]

If it’s not Scottish, it’s CRAP!

[@rangersnut]

Don't nod have not made any games that I like so far. Vampire was dog💩. Hopefully this turns out better than their other games.

[@merasmussen82]

Woke garbage. Hard pass.

[@1coachtone]

You really despise Black people that bad huh.... You want everything Caucasian....

[@1coachtone]

We get it.. you despise anything with Black.. I mean woke people

[@Raspotnik]

Agreed. The dialogue is garbage. All women in this game are strong. All men are wimpy and weak.

[@thatguyfawkes2328]

DEI and ESG ideological movements in the corporate world is ruining everything it touches and turning everything it touches formulaic.
