Shockingly fun, surprisingly deep.
I bought this game during GOG's Insomniac sale, for only about five bucks. I figured it was going to be something like Sim City, but in a more medieval style world. It is not. It's SO much better. Comparing the game to Sim City is really quite wrong, because they tend not to have much depth. You put down buildings, so people can move in, so you can tax them, which gets more money, which lets you put down more buildings. The people's 'needs' never run deeper than them wanting a specific type of building set up. Banished goes much, much deeper than that. If I had to compare it to anything, I would say it's closer to Dwarf Fortress, albeit a much easier and much more accessible version. You have individual citizens (or laborers), and the game keeps track of them. You can watch anyone grow from child to adult, watch them pass away of old age, watch them work their individual jobs. You don't directly control any of them, only assign duties, build homes and workplaces, and try to care for them, but ultimately they're the ones who have to do it, with you acting as overseer for the growing collection of cottages, trying to make it become a village, and then a town, and a city, as big and as long as possible. There is no combat in Banished, and there are no monsters or enemies, aside from natural disasters such as disease, starvation, freezing, fires, tornados, and the like, which helps keep it laid back, but also allows you to focus on growth, and trying new things, new challenges. Can you have a thriving city with only fishermen providing food? Can you survive a winter using only firewood? Can you go without a school for smarter workers, a tavern for happy workers? Carefully managing food, herbs, wood, stone, coal, and iron requires a watchful eye (especially wood), which is the game's challenge. You can build on every inch of land on the map for a huge population, but you'll need room for resources. It's a relaxing but challenging and entertaining game. Buy it.
