Forget Control Resonant, You Can Play 2024’s Best Action Game on PS Plus and Game Pass Now
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden has emerged as one of 2024’s standout action-adventure games, now available through PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass. Despite critical acclaim, the game remains underrated compared to other major 2024 releases like Astro Bot, Balatro, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Developed by Don’t Nod, the studio behind narrative-driven titles such as Life is Strange and Vampyr, Banishers centers on a tale of love, loss, and desperation. The game features dual protagonists—Antea Duarte and Red mac Raith—who share both a romantic and professional partnership. Their relationship forms the emotional core of the narrative, with a pivotal and devastating event occurring early in the first chapter that fundamentally transforms their dynamic and sets the trajectory for the entire story.
The game exemplifies modern game development’s polish applied to the action-adventure formula, delivering an experience that feels contemporary while honoring classic action-adventure sensibilities. With its availability on major subscription services, Banishers is now more accessible than ever to console and PC players seeking quality action experiences with strong narrative elements and character-driven storytelling.
