Banished vs Harvest Moon: Light of Hope
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.
Harvest Moon: Light of Hope
Harvest Moon: Light of Hope has you landing in a near deserted village after a terrible monsoon, injured and lost you are thrust into a tough situation. But there is hope, you are healed and then able to start to rebuild and eventually repopulate the village. First you have to get the lighthouse fixed so no more ships have any accidents in the area. This begins a fun game that has a really cute anime style and blends a host of simulation aspects into a seamless package.Here you will need to build up a farm and crops to feed you and the other townsfolk, mutate your plants to make new ones and discover new recipes. Find a variety of items and then use them to make new buildings or improve the damaged ones. This game is really cute and it has a lot of really nice features that make it very fun to play.
