3rd World Famer vs Banished
3rd World Famer
3rd World Famer is an educational and thought-provoking farm simulation game that aims to let players experience the hardships of farming in a poor country. You'll face plenty of obstacles, many of which are caused by uncontrollable factors like diseases, droughts or neverending wars, and you'll need to use your wits to figure out the best way to overcome them. The game tries to be as realistic as possible in depicting the real-world mechanisms that cause and sustain poverty in third world countries, especially for countries that are dependant on its farming communities, by simulating a wide variety of real-world topics and problems.However, despite being simply a game, 3rd World Farmer hopes that it can let the player realize that the gameplay they are experiencing are sometimes the actual day-to-day that many farmers in third world countries are going through. With that in mind, the developers hopes the game may inspire many youngsters to pitch in and help these people in need to solve their issues.
3rd World Farmer may not be a strictly an entertaining game; it is definitely one that will make you think about what you can do to help solve some of the world's problems. Even if this is not a game that you'd normally play, it is still a game you should at least try.
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.
