Farm Days
Farm Days gives you a farm to call home and develop in your own way to go on to be a huge farmstead. You have a small home to start with and it is up to you to manage your money and build it up into a massive holding full of crops, animals and produce to sell to the local village. There are lots of crops for you to grow from corn to potatoes and everything between and you can also use these crops to feed your animals and use their produce to sell to the village. Play with your friends and share items and help each other out as you manage every aspect of your plot.There are lots of different options for you to add to your farm too, from fun statues to all the money making buildings you need. You can also make some pretty amazing patterns and designs as you expand adding that nice personal touch. A really fun and enjoyable sim game full of items, animals and crops for you to use.
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!
