Banished vs Big Barn World
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.
Big Barn World
Big Barn World is a pretty unique farm simulation game, mainly because it takes social aspect of social farming simulations to a whole new level. In this game, you'll not only need to plant, grow and harvest your own crops; you will also get to raise a variety of adorable animals. All the harvest and animal produce you obtain will then be sold to earn money. There are many farm plots you can unlock as you level up while certain plots are reserved for "members" of the Farmers with Benefits club.The really unique part about the game though is not the fact that you can visit your friends' farms - that has been done multiple times across most farm sims - but the fact that you can plant special seeds in specifically-designated friend plots on your friends' farms. You won't be able to take care of the crop as your friend will do that for you, but when the crop matured and it sold, both you and your friend will get a cut of the profits!
Big Barn World may not be as popular as Farmville or any of Facebook's more popular farm sims, but the game offers something different; something more social that will do well with players with plenty of actively gaming friends. If this sounds like just the game for you, be sure to give it a try. The game is available on both Android and iOS.
