This game is absolutely brutal. That is a good thing. Normally after playing a typical sandbox city building game for an hour or so, you have the whole system figured out and can game the hell out of it so you can just let it autorun for an hour without any attention. Banished is a harsh mistress and isn't just your run of the mill citybuilder.

There is a constant need to keep an eye on your town since the overall success of it all boils down to people. Citizens can die from anything, from workplace accidents to old age. The loss of just one person can set off a ripple effect that can wreak havoc on your village if you're not careful.

The graphics and sound design are pretty decent, seeing as this game came from what amounts to a one man studio. Controls are simple and easy to use, and the guts of the simulation will keep you on your toes.

Probably one of the best citybuilding sims I have ever played. 10/10

It's a fun little game, sorta tower defense in execution. Perfect time waster with simple yet addicting game play.

Good gameplay, no bugs, and above all, FUN! Great game, highly recommend.

This game is buggy to the point of crashing every half hour or so. It's fun at times when it works, but it's only a matter of time until the game crashes, your vehicles freeze in place, or build-in-progress facilities freeze with no way to cancel. Avoid at all costs!
