My Little Farmies vs Patron
My Little Farmies
My Little Farmies is a fun-filled farm simulation game developed by Upjers which offers stressed-out, city-bound people a way out by turning to a life of virtual farming. Enjoy planting, watering, growing and eventually harvesting a diverse range of crops to sell at the market. Or, you could also use these raw materials and convert them into processed goods that are worth a lot more. There are plenty of adorable farm animals you can rear as well as decorations to brighten up your virtual farm. Join a guild in the game and you'll get to enjoy some quality company too. My Little Farmies may not look as cheery as most, recent farm simulation games, but it's one of the classics from Upjer and is definitely worth a look.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!
