Think of it as a kind of rural Sim City with the difficulty ramped up and no nuclear power plants to lay down. It’s a game that tests your abilities as a pioneer to make it in a world where people need food to survive and if you don’t deliver they’ll die. The game makes you into a god, but one that really needs to check out the wiki before thinking they know all.

Still, it’s hard not to see the missed potential within Banished. It’s an excellently crafted city building and survival game, made even more impressive by the fact that it was created by one man. On the bright side, mod support has been promised in the future, and there is definitely a ton of potential for the community to pick up right where the developer left off, as well as expand in all sorts of wacky and fun directions.
