Patron vs Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children
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!
Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children
Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children is the second installment in the Virtual Villagers series. In this game, your small tribe managed to rescue a group of children adrift at sea. These children will need nurturing and it falls on you, the leader of the tribe to provide them with just that. Of course, you'll still need to explore the west side of Isola in hopes of discovering and learning more about the mysterious island.Similar to the previous game, Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children contains plenty of unpredictable events that will pop up from time to time to challenge your problem-solving skills. This effectively dispels the monotony of the day-to-day.
So, if you enjoy life simulation games or if you love playing Virtual Villagers' games, you'll want this in your game library as well.
