Goodgame Big Farm vs Patron
Goodgame Big Farm
Goodgame Big Farm is a brilliant farm simulation game by Goodgame Studios. Here, you can build, upgrade and expand your farm; harvest your planted crops, and sell your farm’s produce for a tidy sum of profit. There are also many farm animals that you can raise on your farm in addition to adopting an adorable pet dog. Join a cooperative and work with your fellow virtual farmers to make your cooperative one of the best in the game. Big Farm may not be as popular as Farmville, but it is just as fun! So, set up your very own virtual farm today!Patron
Patron is a medieval-themed city-builder that is quite similar to Banished. In this game, you play as a pioneer sent by your King to colonize a new region. With a group of peasants to help, it is up to you to build a town from the ground up and develop it into one of the most prosperous colonies of the empire!The game is all about optimizing production chains and subsequently, pursuing advancements. So, at the beginning, it’s important to produce enough raw materials so you can have enough materials to “fuel” your other production facilities in order to craft more profitable items. As your town expands, you’ll need to make sure your production scales up accordingly, be it by upgrading existing structures or building new ones. This is where the challenge really comes in.
Of course, besides upgrades and expansions, you’ll want to invest in research so you could unlock better and, hence, more productive buildings, as well as new production facilities which will then allow you to produce items that are usually more luxurious and lucrative to trade. From time to time, you will receive various edicts from the King or news of certain events. You’ll then be expected to choose between the two decisions provided.
All in all, Patron is definitely a much better version of Banished in every way, and this saying something since I’ve enjoyed playing Banished. This game’s a solid medieval city-builder with a nice level of difficulty which matches what a midcore gamer like me can handle. The game is definitely worth the cost!
