Banished vs Tropico 4
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 4
Tropico 4 is the fourth installment of the Tropico nation-building/simulation game franchise where you get to play as the all-powerful El Presidente of a tropical island country. This game is focused more on the politcal intrigue this time around as you'll need to play your cards right with your people and with the other global superpowers in hopes of keeping your power and of course, to keep increasing the size of your off-shore bank account. You can now appoint ministers to help you push through unpopular policies so you won't have to deal with the resulting fallout, and draft up national agendas to deal with challenges ranging from needs from your own Tropicans to an ongoing natural disaster that is decimating your population and your country.The economy aspect of the game has alos been reworked to allow for a robust trading system and to build economic ties with other nations. Tropico 4 is even more social media-linked, making it incredibly convenient for you to post your latest creations to either Twitter or Facebook with a click of a button.
As some of the fans have noticed, Tropico 4 is made slighter easier for new players to get into. Unlike the previous games where money can really be tight, the game's trading system opens up a whole new inflow of cash into your country in exchange for stuff you have too much of. It's kind of a win-win situation if you ask me, but some players might scoff at the reduced difficulty of this version of Tropico.
