Relaxing town manager

One of the most relaxing games out there. How I would describe this: Calm music combined with an idyllic forest location where you manage the survival and prosperity of your peaceful, isolated village. If you like or are interested in city or town sims, I would recommend this. If you want a relaxing game that is simple to play yet has a good amount of elements to keep you interested, I would recommend this. Not a big game by any means but a relaxing, tight town sim experience.

Best since the Anno series

Excellent building sim, haven't been this addicted to a game since the Anno series. Watching your village grow has rarily been as satisfying, and whenever a famine strikes, you really feel for your people. My only complaints would have to be that the AI acts weird once your villages expand - farmers and labourers wander off on impossible journeys only to freeze or starve to death - and the game crashes occasionally. Hopefully nothing that a future patch can't fix. Here's hoping the game will be expanded with more buildings and features.

Easier than I thought

It's a pretty good game, but I expected it to be a bit more challenging. Yes, there was a frustrating bit where I didn't have enough tools so my citizens were working slowly, which meant they didn't mine enough iron for the Blacksmith to produce the tools they so desparately needed, but when I managed to overcome that the game started to become relatively easy. As others have written, after a certain point there is not really much to do any more, besides expanding, but there is no real reason to do that because nothing is to be gained from it. Right now I'm trying to get the last three seeds, but I don't actually need them. The only thing I haven't done yet is brewing ale, but all my citizens are healthy and happy, so why should I? One thing I found annoying was that only young couples who are living in a house of their own can have children, and if you don't build new houses all the time you'll end up with only one or two old people living alone in every house, even though they could each accomodate 8. I love how many aspects of the citizens' lives are simulated, but this is not only annoying, but also pretty unrealistic, given how in real medieval villages several generations used to live together under the same roof, and that certainly didn't keep people from having children. It's not as bad as the awful walker system in Caesar III where you are pretty much forced to build ugly and unrealistic cities to meet the scenario objectives, but still kind of stupid. I haven't encountered most of the problems others mentioned, and so far no game breaking bugs. I once had a crop field that could not be harvested, but I simply demolished and rebuilt it. So, if you like city building games this is certainly not the worst. It's definitely fun to play for a while, but it's somewhat lacking in the long run.

Banished Forever!

Available on Steam, this game is a Civilization killer - why? Because it brings to the table all the fun, strategy, and thoughtfulness of that title (and others of its ilk) without armies, wars, or invasions to distract from the main goal of city builder game: building a city! Spend days trying to keep everyone happy while they toil away in the fields, forests, and mountains to bring raw goods to the site, where they will be made into lumbar, food, and walls. Believe me when I say, "Mother Nature is the worst of all enemies - she is relentless!" Which is what makes this title stand out, along with great graphics, ease of play, and logical playing boundaries that all go to bring one of the very best city-builder games to your computer. It will be on my hard drive until it fails-and then I'll put it on the replacement drive immediately. A solid - 10!
