Banished

What I call one of the best city building strategy games I’ve ever played, that is banished. In banished you control a group of people exiled from there old lives looking to start a new and with your help hopefully they get the chance to.

You see banish makes every action count the number of people and resources you start out with is just the first step the second depends on how smart you are in making the next few choices since you play against the clock you see in banish not only do you play against the elements but it feels like in real life where age hunger and health work against you.

As you work to establish your settlement you must also establish food and jobs as things do get harder as you progress but then again that’s the point of a strategy game to not be easy.

You have a variety of jobs from farmers to fishers to teachers and so on the variety is great keeping the jobs filled is hard growing the populace is harder this is honestly the first game I’ve played that resembles real life so closely which is why I said every action counts.

Other then people depending the setting you choose you start out with live stock as well as a few houses and I must say keeping the farm animals alive is probably the easiest job in the whole game, the game also has seasons as the days go by the weather changes next thing you know your in winter trying to keep your people warm making sure to keep up on the wood as its needed for building as well resources are plenty around you just people are truly a pain in the butt to keep going.

I know it may sound like a bad game but it’s really not once you get going and have the basics figured out and you keep your population growing it truly becomes a fun game as you see how far you can expand over the map it’s a basic game with a bit of a learning curve and a good amount of strategy thank you and have a great day
