Banished vs Tropico 3
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.
Tropico 3
Tropico 3 lets you assume the role of a dictator of a remote island during the Cold War. Decide the leadership path youd like to take and become a benevolent leader or a merciless one... or someone who is somewhere in between. Despite your dictatorship, there will still be elections or at least illusions of one where you can slander your opponents and make empty promises just to secure crucial votes. Regardless of the facade of it all, you will still need to take into account of the opinions of your Tropicans. This time around, you can even get involved in world politics at a time in history when the world hangs on the edge of a nuclear apocalypse, and play the superpowers against each other to maximize your advantage on the global stage.Tropico 3 is also social in the sense where you can visit other islands controlled by players and compete with other players via an online scoring system. Sounds like fun to you? Well, you can give Tropico 3 a try. It's definitely a step-up from the first two games (since they have older graphics and mechanics) and may appeal to the players of today.
