Banished vs Food Street
Banished
Banished is a medieval-themed city-building simulation that can be pretty difficult to get into at first mainly due to its many nuances and lack of a comprehensive tutorial. But once you get the general idea of how things work (we'd recommend starting with easy mode), you'll start to truly appreciate the game as the challenge that it is. In some way, this game is quite similar to SimCity in many ways with the obvious difference being the themes and the lack of piping, waste management or electricity. Different maps will pose a different challenge and of course, the bigger your village is, the more stuff you'll need to manage. Although it does have some strategy elements to it - mainly in the form of village management, the game is not a war game. There is no fighting involved but your villagers will die from natural causes or disasters like illnesses or famine.However, once you've gotten the hang of the game, Banished becomes less of a punishing game and a bit more boring due to the same-y looking buildings and the soundtrack. When it comes to replayability, we'd say that the game has maybe tens of hours in it before you'll get bored and move on to the next game... and this play duration may be drastically reduced if you happen to be a pro SimCity player.
So, in short, Banished will appear to be a somewhat frustrating game at first, but once you've gotten the hang of it, the game might gradually becomes boring mainly because there is nothing else to do except to expand, expand and expand! However, we can't say that we didn't enjoy playing the game, and even for the shorter play duration it has to offer, as opposed to triple A city-building titles, the game is worth the money it costs.
Food Street
Food Street is a restaurant simulation and management game developed by Supersolid. In this game, you'll get to set up and decorate your own virtual restaurant where you'll not only be managing it, but you'll also need to farm for the ingredients that go into your cooking. So, in some way, it's a farm simulation as well. That said though, the restaurant sim is still the main aspect of this game, so you can expect to spend a lot more time preparing dishes, serving them to customers and discovering new recipes as you go along.What's most appealing about this game is definitely its beautiful 3D models that bring the entire game to life. Of course, to make the game even more attractive to players, it's very social as well. Yopu can actually trade dishes or cook cooperatively with your friends.
Aside from having gorgeous graphics, Food Street also has one of the most addictive gameplay around for a restaurant simulation and management game. If you get the chance, you should really give this game a try - you'll love it!
