Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden might be Don't Nod's best work with character-driven, choices matter stories. @dovetail.bsky.social joined me for a great chat about it, and as always, no spoilers for a while!

Stock your tiny bookshop with different books and items, set up shop in scenic locations, and run your cozy second-hand bookshop while getting to know the locals.

A cosy mobile bookshop made from green wooden planks decorated with fairy lights, sitting in a scenic country area with a cat sitting on a brown chair.

It includes the following quote from our review of Tiny Bookshop:

“ I’m not overreacting when I say that this game might be one of the best cosy games to release this year. I know that’s quite the bold statement to make, as we’ve had some stellar competition releases already and there’s more to come, but I mean it.”
