The Good: Holy pixelated paradise, this game is Banished after a Red Bull bender and a community college degree! You’re wrangling a horde of low-poly lunatics into a settlement, and it’s a cackling good time. Production chains are so sexy I’d date them—wheat to malt to whiskey, turning my villagers into happy drunks instead of frozen corpses. Trading’s makes you feel like a medieval Jeff Bezos haggling with caravans like a sleazy car salesman, unlocking hardwood plantations and bridges to flex on my rivals. The tech tree’s a slow tease, dropping upgrades like a smug genie, and scenarios like Easter Island mode? Yes, please, I’ll take ten. The Bad: Alright, time to pop the bubble—this ain’t all glitter and giggles. Compared to Banished’s sleek survival grit, this feels like an overeager try-hard who won’t stop bragging about their Etsy store. My settlers breed like horny jackrabbits at a rave, but I can’t build houses fast enough, so they’re sulking in the mud, whining about happiness like entitled influencers. Keeping them chipper is a circus act—one missing sock and they’re burning the town down! Early game’s a savage beatdown too; if you don’t micromanage like a deranged puppet master, you’re a ghost town by breakfast. And picking graphics modes at launch? What sadistic troll thought that was cute? My potato PC’s sobbing! The Ugly: Bugs, oh sweet merciful chaos, the bugs! I’ve got settlers frozen mid-task, gazing into the void like they’re about to recite Nietzsche instead of hauling logs. The UI’s a fever dream—tool tips so cryptic I need a Ouija board to crack them, and trade caravans vanish like they’ve joined the Witness Protection Program. Performance tanks at 1000-2000 settlers; my rig’s wheezing like an asthmatic walrus, lagging so bad I could grill a steak between frames. And the random merchants? I’m sitting on 10,000 pounds of fat I don’t want, and this joker pulls up with broccoli—BROCCOLI! Devs, I’m one step from mailing you my virtual pitchfork! The Verdict: Score: 8.5/10 Survival City-Builder - Banished’s crazy nephew

Jan. 2025

I have enjoyed this for over 150 hours, if there are such terrible bugs in it, I don't see them or maybe they seem what is purposely in the game. Mods make this an even better game and help any perceived shortfalls in the game such as larger storage buildings which you have in a mod on the workshop but which I would be happy to see native in the game. Overall, was bought on sale and worth every last penny

Nov. 2024

This is a hardcore logistics/production simulator which fills some weird liminal space between Rimworld and SimCity 4. Imagine you really enjoy Rimworld but you don't care about all the interpersonal parasocial "The Sims" bullsh*t. You want to have two thousand colonists instead of two dozen, and you don't care much about how they feel on an individual level, you just want them to get to f*cking work. But also you enjoy OG SimCity and you appreciate the slow, crawling, expansive industrialization of an untamed wilderness. But when I say this is a hardcore logistics simulator I really mean it. I'm not talking about some Cities:Skylines city-painter public-transit-utopia watch-the-trams-go-round bullsh*t. I'm talking about some serious hardcore supply chain management. You should be able to obtain an associates degree from succeeding at this game. You should be able to manage production and sales at some factory producing pickled alpaca sh*t in glass bottles or something. Play this game and fight against it and endure it, and once you figure it out and you conquer it, you will truly understand the world around you on a different level.

So this is basically [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/242920/Banished/]Banished on steroids. Same idea but more buildings, more decorations, more space to fill, and generally a little more meat on the bone. At its core though, it's pretty derivative. Not in a bad way, really, just I've seen it before. The only thing I dont like much is the graphical style-- it's not bad, but it's not very detailed and the lighting is as basic as can be. The challenge is there for sure, but it's pretty hard to screw it up completely. Once you're built up it's almost impossible to have someone die of starvation or whatever. I do get addicted to games like this, so I played until I built all the megastructures, but then felt pretty burned out. Nevertheless I got quite a lot of playtime out of that, so I officially deem this 'A Good Game.' But if you havent tried Banished yet, do that first. It is the grandaddy of survival CB's for a reason.

April 2024

Here we go again... This game is somewhat addictive and offers endless gameplay, but there are some flaws. The terrain generation is not accurate and could use improvement. Overall, the game is good and has similarities to Banished, but it's better in some ways. After putting in over 80 hours, I've started to feel a bit bored with it.
