Patron vs World Chef
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!
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.
