Reviews
Banished is a wonderfully unique take on the city-building genre. Instead of the typical expansion-focused gameplay, it challenges you to carefully manage a small group of exiled settlers as they struggle to survive—and thrive—in a harsh, unpredictable world. The result is a city builder that feels fresh, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying. Visually, the game looks great. The environments are beautifully rendered, with seasonal changes and small visual details that make your settlement feel alive. Watching your village grow from a few wooden huts into a bustling community is consistently rewarding. What really sets Banished apart is its difficulty. The game doesn’t hold your hand, and every decision matters. Balancing food, resources, housing, and health requires careful planning, and even a small lapse can send your village into crisis. But that challenge is exactly what makes the experience so engaging. When your settlement finally stabilizes, it feels like a real accomplishment. If you enjoy city builders that make you think strategically and reward patience, Banished is absolutely worth playing. It’s a unique, beautiful, and challenging gem.

too much micromanagement. randomly snows in autumn, farmers are too stupid to actually harvest in time even when you click harvest now button, lose %70 of your food without any actual way to deal with it.
The villigers in this game are too stupid to live. This game is beyond frustrating, would not recommend
Excellent little town building / survival game that was created by one guy! Bonus is that it will run well on a potato and still looks good to this day.
Joguei esse jogo a muito tempo atrás, e resolvi jogar novamente, um jogo simples mas bem detalhado e que te faz perder boas horas jogando kkk
It's been years since I've bought this and I've kept going back to this game time and time again. Great balanced game, lots of replayability. Its just satisfying to watch the colony grow well and become self sustaining.
The logic of how the villagers act is way too dumb.
BANISHED – O Simulador de Sobrevivência Silencioso Gestão de Crise Constante: Não se engane pela trilha sonora calma. Banished é um jogo difícil que exige atenção absoluta. Se você esquecer da comida por cinco minutos, metade da sua população morre de fome. Se esquecer das casas, o frio da próxima estação elimina o resto. O Ciclo do Erro: Seis cidades destruídas em 15 horas é o rito de passagem normal. Cada erro gera um efeito dominó catastrófico, forçando o jogador a pensar com calma e planejar cada construção. O maior inimigo aqui não são monstros, é o inverno e a sua própria falta de planejamento. A Corda Bamba do Progresso: Expandir rápido demais é suicídio. Falta de moradia impede os cidadãos de procriarem, mas casas demais geram bocas que você não consegue alimentar. O equilíbrio é milimétrico. Veredito: É um jogo punitivo, tenso e extremamente gratificante quando você finalmente consegue fazer uma vila sobreviver ao inverno. Altamente recomendado para quem busca um desafio de estratégia puro e sem margem para erros. BANISHED – The Silent Survival Simulator. Constant Crisis Management: Don't be fooled by the calm soundtrack. Banished is a difficult game that demands absolute attention. If you forget about food for five minutes, half your population starves. If you forget about houses, the cold of the next season wipes out the rest. The Cycle of Error: Six cities destroyed in 15 hours is the normal rite of passage. Each mistake generates a catastrophic domino effect, forcing the player to think calmly and plan each construction. The biggest enemy here isn't monsters; it's winter and your own lack of planning. The Tightrope of Progress: Expanding too fast is suicide. Lack of housing prevents citizens from procreating, but too many houses mean mouths you can't feed. The balance is delicate. Verdict: It's a punishing, tense, and extremely rewarding game when you finally manage to make a village survive the winter. Highly recommended for those seeking a pure strategy challenge with no room for error.
