Banished vs World Chef
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.
World Chef
World Chef is a fun restaurant simulation game where you'll get to cook up a storm, serve your customers a wide variety of cuisines, have fun decorating your place with décor from a plethora of themes, while helping to restore your grandpa's restaurant to its former popularity!The game is very easy to get into and the gameplay is also easy to understand. The ultimate goal of the game is for you to build up the popularity of your restaurant so it can reach a 3-star rating, and you can slowly increase your popularity rating by placing decorations. However, the decor all costs cash so you'll need to cook some dishes and sell them for some profit.
Aside from this, there are plenty of other features that you can eventually unlock as you level up in this game. Each of these features provides you with something extra, be it the ability to attract celebrities to your restaurant, to gather exotic ingredients or even to upgrade your dishes so they can sell for more. World Chef is also a very social game, and this is evident in its somewhat unique, friends-driven gameplay.
World Chef is a really entertaining, free-to-play restaurant simulation game. Aside from the unique friends-based SOS feature, its gameplay is basically very similar to Dining Zoo so if you’ve enjoyed the latter, you’ll definitely love playing the former game.
