Banished - Review

If the developer doesn't make Banished 2 I will be disappointed.

Title: 
Banished

Platform: 
PC

Who: 
You the village leader, Birds-eye.

What: 
Secluded village builder. Singleplayer.

When:
Released February 2014.

Where: 
River valley areas far from everything, but still close enough to enjoy river trading.

Why: 
Medieval life simulator. This is basically what it means when people in movies say "It'll send us back to the stone age."

Significance: 
There hasn't been a good 3d medieval citybuilder in a long time. Resource management is difficult to find in entertaining forms.

Pros: 
Great in-game economy, realistic survival challenges. Dynamics such as firewood for warmth, and tool and clothing deterioration, that many games ignore for simplicity's sake.

Cons: 
No combat, weapons, or walls, and a limited building set.
