In this city-building strategy game, you control a group of exiled travelers who decide to restart their lives in a new land. They have only the clothes on their backs and a cart filled with supplies from their homeland.\n\nThe objective of the game is to keep the population alive and grow it into a successful culture. Options for feeding the people include hunting and gathering, agriculture, trade, and fishing. However, sustainable practices must be considered to survive in the long term.","42605\u002Fbanished_webp.webp","42605\u002Fbanished_header_webp.webp","2014-02-18","2024-09-13T19:18:03.519-04:00","2026-09-05T16:05:37.005206-04:00",2002,"banished",true,"https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002F1xKbwGxUb18",0,71,242920,null,[22,55,84,111],{"id":23,"game_id":5,"outlet_id":24,"author":25,"original_score":32,"normalized_score":33,"review_url":34,"review_date":35,"summary":36,"created_at":37,"updated_at":37,"author_id":26,"last_edited_at":38,"original_summary":20,"source_language":20,"is_translated":39,"outlet":40},18389,8,{"id":26,"bio":20,"name":27,"avg_score":28,"outlet_id":20,"created_at":29,"profile_id":20,"updated_at":30,"claim_token":20,"article_count":31,"claimed_by_user_id":20},1149,"Paul Dean",68.75,"2024-11-27T15:05:42.993589-05:00","2025-07-08T19:19:44.404328-04:00",12,"6\u002F10",60,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurogamer.net\u002Fbanished-review","2014-02-28","I liked playing Banished. It was complex, but never fiddly, difficult, but rarely cruel, though it would benefit from a little more transparency. But as soon as I had a handle on it, as soon as I'd started to see through some of the fog of its complexity, I wanted to grasp for something bigger, something greater. Banished is satisfying, but never spectacular.

There’s brilliant concepts and a core that shines, but a troublesome interface and a general lack of breadth of content is clearly an issue. With all that noted, there’s still something strangely and subversively compelling about it in the end.
