What is Banished?
Banished is a city-building strategy game developed and published by Shining Rock Software. It was released on February 17, 2014. Players control a group of exiled travelers who are starting a new life in a new land. They have limited supplies and must work to build a thriving village.
The townspeople are the primary resource in Banished. They are born, age, work, have families, and eventually die. Keeping them healthy, happy, and well-fed is crucial for the town's growth. Building homes is not enough; there need to be people to live in them and start families.
There are no skill trees in Banished. Any structure can be built at any time if the resources are available. Instead of money, players barter their resources with trade vessels that arrive periodically. The main story takes approximately 15 hours to complete. Adding extras extends the playtime to 32 hours. A completionist playthrough can take up to 91 hours.

Banished Critic Reviews and Review Scores

I liked playing Banished. It was complex, but never fiddly, difficult, but rarely cruel, though it would benefit from a little more transparency. But as soon as I had a handle on it, as soon as I'd started to see through some of the fog of its complexity, I wanted to grasp for something bigger, something greater. Banished is satisfying, but never spectacular. That's not quite enough for me.

New city-builder Banished is the most fun you'll have simulating famine all year.

A nice change of pace for city-builders, but it loses momentum once the immediate urgency of survival goes away.

Banished is a clever network of interlocking systems and mechanics that accomplish a lot with very little.
