![]() As regular citizens, these nomads work, age, have children, and die - and it’s up to players to ensure their cities grow and thrive under these circumstances. In this simulation of a command economy, Banished puts the lives of a group of nomads in the hands of the players. ![]() What defines a city - its location or its people? In Banished, people represent the city players are building, especially since they’re the primary resources in the game. This unique take on city construction instead of management offers a lot of replay value for players and avoids the usual straining hours-long sessions in typical games. Their session ends once they run out of points or space to put new buildings. At some point, they can move to a newer island to continue the session. The more buildings they get to place and the more points they earn, the more new buildings they get to unlock. To progress through Islanders, players need to “unload” buildings from their inventory and onto the island, earning points along the way. ![]() At the core of Islanders is procedural generation, where players are tasked to create a city from scratch inside the procedurally-generated island the game gives them. ![]() Players who want a unique take on the city-building genre might want to give Islanders a shot, particularly for its minimalist aesthetic, relaxing sound design, and equally engaging gameplay. Where to get this: Steam, PS4 and PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch ![]()
