Patron is coming to PC sometime in Q3 2021. That's the excruciating level of micromanagement that I look for in games like this. Fun, complex, and entertaining, it pushes you to work hard towards the. Accessibility is so crucial that you probably can't even build the thing if it's facing the wrong direction. Banished, a 2014 Shining Rock Software video game, is a chance at going through an amazing experience of city building, with all of its challenges and rewards.
Even the aforementioned Banished is more interested in resource management than human issues.Īs opposed to city-builders like SimCity or Cities: Skylines that have you lay down blocks' worth of building zones, Patron stresses over each individual building's placement-right down to facing and whether individual citizens can reach building entry/exit points from a nearby road. These things aren't necessarily brand new to city-builders, but some games lean heavily one way or the other.
Class tensions, social in/justice, immigration, religious strife, protests, and even civilian uprisings. As your village grows into a town, and town grows into city, so grows the social dimensions of putting a bunch of people together in one place. You have to research and develop an extensive research tree.īut you've also got to balance sensitive social issues. You have to adapt to weather and seasons. Patron, however, isn't satisfied with being just a gather-wood-build-house city-builder. So, thank you, Patron, for going to bat for this underrepresented branch of the strategy genre. The occasional Banished-like city-builder comes along, but not nearly enough, in my honest opinion.
