Banished
Description
Banished is a city building game where you control a group of exiled people who are restarting their
lives in the wilderness. They have only the clothes on their backs and a cart filled with supplies
from their homeland.
The townspeople work, build, get older, have children, and eventually die. Keeping them healthy, happy, and fed are essential to making a successful town grow. Any structure can be built at any time, provided that your people have collected the resources to do so.
There are many occupations that the people can perform from farming, hunting, and blacksmithing, to fishing, teaching, and healing. You can choose to replant forests, mine for iron, and quarry for rock, and more!

A nice change of pace for city-builders, but it loses momentum once the immediate urgency of survival goes away.

Classic City Building with great nuance!
Banished is very satisfying in the pressures the game applies to your population and an elegant UI for managing a relativel complex build out. While I would enjoy additonal features/ buildings/ scenarios/ etc., I really enjoy the simplicity of what Shining Rock has made.
