Banished

The game does an incredible job of helping you sympathize with the outcasts you're caring for. You have to be patient, since making mistakes can result in mass starvation or freezing. But as long as you're responsible, you have a good chance of taking care of the original outcasts, and their growing families. The game is engrossing, with a gradually increasing difficulty that does not require you to fail over and over before you are able to take care of your first few people.

great RTS game for a solo Dev. Lotsa enjoyable mods for it thx to a interested community.

I come from steam to "own" game. this is very first game i buy. good sample as city bulider and price drop makes more attractive. this game is the only game i can say with100% assurance both buy on steam and gog. you will never disappoint with this game. no day 1 patch, no much dlc, best optimization even on your potato pc. if you dobut, then you can buy when sale starts. sale rate is high.

It's a city-builder. You're set in a non-specific pre-industrial uninhabited frontier to establish a town of your own making. Climate is unforgiving, terrain is hilariously difficult, people die easily to all manner of ills, and merely having enough food for the winter is the entire plot for the first 10 years of every town worth building. Crops and cemetaries. It's awesome. Money is non-existent. What little sporadic, and unreliable, trading that can be done is strictly bartering only. I could go on with all the things the authors have done right with this game. But it'll be quicker to get on with the couple of reasons it's not 5 stars. 1. There are few challenges beyond the achievements list. There are few terrain generation options and even fewer starting condition settings. There are no scenarios, or anything resembling a campaign. 2. The townsfolk are painfully stupid. If you run out of tools you may end up with a toolless blacksmith valiantly metal-working with his bare hands, and producing tools incredibly slowly. When he finally does make a single tool it's given to someone else and he goes right back to hitting hot metal with his hands. 3. Every person born desires to die a bachelor or spinster. The only reason people live together is because they physically have nowhere else to live. If you build a few extra houses beyond what your people currently need, they'll spread out into those houses, breaking up families to do so and thus stop breeding. Even a zero-year-old baby will live alone by choice if there are enough houses. This can also be triggered by a bad illness that kills more than a few percent of a decent sized town. The remaining pop will spread out into the empty houses. On multiple occasions I've had to demolish a bunch of houses to force couples back together in order to have a family. The tactic feels creepy and weird. Overall it's really good.

I cant believe this game was made by only one person. Its very relaxing play this game, managing our own "city"
