Recente recensies door Mongrel Senpai

Bought this during the Steam summer sale. Having put 2000+ hrs across a mixture of TBS and RTS games from Age of Mythology to CIV, I thought "Ha! Oh look an indie town sim game, this'll be fun, how hard can it be?"

What's truly great about Banished is how challenging it is without even adding the concept of violence (unless you include trees falling on and killing my foresters ♥♥♥♥ YOU PINE! ILLIANDER HAD A BABY ON THE WAY YOU HEARTLESS ♥♥♥♥♥). Just surviving and getting enough food, shelter and avoiding potential diseases is tough enough.

If you like classic city-builders with harsh survival elements, Banished is a solid recommend. 5/5 Logs

Mad Max in Middle Earth.

Instead of the Interceptor, Max can ride a cougar-warpig into battle.
Instead of gasoline, Max collects arrows.
Instead of a shotgun, he has swords and a bow and an Elven bro.
Instead of playing in Australia, you're in New Zealand.
Instead of bandits, you have Orcs that have a system dedicated to showcasing their rustled jimmies.

+Solid Gameplay
+Superb Graphics
+Fluid controls / Animation
+Intro Story is really gripping
+Orcs have hilarious personalities
+Collect flowers

- /+ Gameplay does get a bit repetative but there's enough variety with spawn points and random elements so you're still killing orcs without thinking too deeply about the dark undertones of the game's themes such as family values, futility of life, bro-time, and government corruption.

8.5 / 10 - Solid.

I played this game a few times.
It's good.

A 'Fate' game rather than 'Choice and Consequence'.
Your choices only reflect in what way you'll be screwed in the end in Episode 6.
You can make the most strategic of choices and get screwed over just as much as if you made the worst choices possible. DONTNOD's 'Life is Strange' and Telltale's original Walking Dead titles are superior.

I will say that it started out great, and featured very likable characters to play as.
My only moral thematic take-away is how much you're willing to bend the knee and betray friendship to save your family; that's what sticks with you aside from a few well written characters.

Cautious recommendation if you like watching a trainwreck in slow motion and or masochism.

5th episode really bummed out the overwhelming majority of fans for a variety of reasons, but I'd still recommend this game. DONTNOD set out to make a revolutionary choice and consequence game and instead gave us a phenomenal story revolving around two best friends in a fictional Oregon beach town with enough plot twists, tension and drama to tranquilize a small horse. I can't stress enough how well the story is written.

I can't recall another game that left such a resonating emotional impact on me.

Ep 1 -4 are rock solid.

Squad-based immigration reform.

9/10

I remember playing Blood as a 10 year old on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Compaq Presario around Y2K time. Fantastic shooter. Some parts of the game were too scary for me (at the time) to beat.

However, the port is a little wonky where FPS drops down significantly at higher resolutions.
For me, this isn't super crucial. Game is still 100% playable at 320x200.

A well thought out, unique FPS with a good art style, great narrative, atmosphere and gameplay elements.
For a 10$ pricetag, this game is a must.

+ Great story and shocking ending
+ Great pacing with both story and item revelation
+ Ranged weapon combat (+projectile drop) are dead on
+ Almost no bugs [Devs were on top of it when it came to bugfixes and support]
+ Crisp controls
+ Surreal visual artstyle

- Inventory / Barter / Item system is pretty minimal but it gets the job done
- The combat isn't too robust and allows the player only one basic melee attack while relying on ranged weapons such as bows, muskets and crossbows. Would have been sweet to have a halbred, broadsword or a pike.

5/5 Triceracops.
