Banished

Excellent game for those who like world building but unfortunetly needs mods to be extra fun. Base game is good mods make it REALLY good.

It's fun and challenging. There hasn't been anything new, there are mods though. I enjoy playing but you get bored after a few days. I always end up coming back to it though.

mass build important buildings in the beginning so nobody dies, everyone just stands around spazzing out because they didnt wanna move the logs off the unconstructed stock pile you strategically placed, so then you have to ruin the aesthetic setup putting a random stockpile in the fuhahh middle of a space just so they start operating again but then ♥♥♥♥ doesnt get built in time so they start dropping like flies because youre on a 10X speed and they didnt wanna figure ♥♥♥♥ out before they starved to death, but then once you get a bigger population your ♥♥♥♥ starts running low fps and lags and actions don't go through lol. Im addicted to settlement builders like this though ngl. I really enjoy this game, I just wish my computer could handle it so I could get the achievements without my computer exploding. WAHHHHHH

NICE

One of my favorite city builders. I've started a new map more times than I can count. The management aspect of developing your city is fun, but brutal. But you don't have to expand all the time. If you want, you can slow down and play at a very leisurely pace - but there's still a very delicate balance between the number of houses, the increase in population, and the amount of food and materials you have at your disposal. What I like is that WHERE you build roads, housing, jobs, storage spaces, in relation to each other, greatly affects the efficiency of the citizens and the transportation of resources - which can determine whether the city survives or not. This really appeals to the detail-oriented dopamine drive in me. I started playing it when it first came out in 2014, and in my opinion it still holds up in 2026.

Ein Klassiker der Städtebausimulation, es macht immer wieder aufs Neue Spaß eine große Stadt aufzubauen und am Leben zu halten. Uneingeschränkte Empfehlung.

Old fav
