Banished

Yes. A classic. I would give the world for a direct sequel.

I've enjoyed my several games/towns.

Too easy to lose where you are in the game. It therefore becomes very hard to stick to a plan and you instead start over repeatedly. Graphics aren't so good now, though they were good for when the game was released. Doesn't provide a tutorial if I remember correctly, or just doesn't cover the complexity of the game. In short: overwhelming and unengaging.

super game ......no sleep.

havent played this game since highschool but i still love it

When Banished was first released, some people remarked that the game is incredibly difficult. I disagree. Just do [u]not[/u] build [spoiler]mines[/spoiler] (they are nonrenewable deathtraps) and import all your [spoiler]stone/iron/coal[/spoiler] from trading posts (construct multiple). Then [u]only[/u] use [spoiler]stone houses[/spoiler] in order to save firewood during winters (sell excess for profit). Other than that, make sure your farming plots are optimal sizes, educate all your citizens, and make sure you keep your population steady (avoid surges of elderly dying from old age simultaneously). I have never once had a village collapse following this advice. Overall, it is a fun and fairly relaxing city builder with a satisfying agricultural system (there is just something pleasing about seeing fields of crops growing and a market filled to the brim with food) that does not overburden you with an excessive amount of complexity.

Great mods. Will go down as a classic PC sim builder. Still holds up in 2026. Winters and food be punishing.
