I have PS+ Premium and started jumping into various games yesterday. I started playing this game Banishers Ghosts of New Eden for PS5. I was pleasantly surprised with the story mostly. This game is a horror/action. Here is what kept me playing and why you may enjoy it.

I don’t want to give away too many spoilers if any really. So I will keep this short. You are a couple that banish ghost set in the year 1695. You are part of the banisher community even though you work independently with your partner of course. The story is well crafted you interrogate individuals to gather clues. The story is slower paced, so if you need a fast paced game this is not it.

Once you have the clues you search for the evidence of what unfolded. This is done by conducting a ritual with three choices. You have to chose correct ritual the game will not prompt you. All rituals bring forth a ghost/spirit. You may have to fight that spirit or put it to rest.

Here is where I was surprised. My second case the game makes me choose. Between placing Blame, Ascend or Descend the spirit and its most loved one. That shapes the game for you each case choice matters in the end.

The game controller mechanics are pretty simple not that complicated at all. The graphics are great but I don’t have a Pro so didn’t get full effect.

I played it for free well sort of, but if I had to purchase it. I would probably pay $25-30 for it. I don’t purchase games that often and rarely pay full price.

What I want to know is: are the choices actually interesting, though? For so many games with choices like this they aren't really choices. It's just "do the right thing and get the good ending or don't and get the bad ending".

I am only 5+ hours into game. The choice you have to make does matter at end. The game gives you a warning about which path you chose. Not gonna lie took me 10 mins to decide.
