Patron vs Tasty Town
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!
Tasty Town
Tasty Town is a restaurant management-themed simulation game that builds upon the gameplay that World Chef provides while adding a couple of interesting new features of its own. For starters, the gameplay is greatly enhanced with the addition of a farm where you can plant, grow and gather your own crops, and raise various farm animals. Tasty Town has also greatly expanded the social features that were previously available in World Chef. In addition to the usual friend system, you can now create or join a Chefs Club and work with your club friends to achieve specific goals.However, the best part about this game, aside from its pretty standard gameplay of cooking food, serving them to your customers and turning a profit, is its fun time-management mini-game in which you operate your own food truck called Tasty Dash. Oh, and don’t forget that there are even story quests which introduce you to each of the game’s main characters while providing them with some depth and personality, a wide range of buildings you can eventually unlock and use, as well as plenty of themed decorations for you to decorate your place with.
Despite the “recycled” visual assets, Tasty Town is definitely a step-up from its predecessor, World Chef although the game’s technically not a sequel. There are so much more for you to do now aside from cooking food and serving them, and all of the “extra features” do help a lot to supplement the generic restaurant-management gameplay.
