although I may not play it, the wandering village stood out to me as truly unique and inspiring. it is so nice to have gems like that come along and break up the monotony.
Hi brednbudder, and thank you for the comment. I am also glad games as original as Wandering village are in development by brave and inspired Indie dev teams. Should give us great gameplay, Demo was amazing and fun.
Thank you! I find your videos really helpful, and your scripts are well thought out and entertainining. Great job!
Thank you very much for that feedback Chris! I do try to improve with every new video. I hope you will enjoy the ones about future such games as well, they will up up soon. Until than I recommend this playlist: czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html

This is amazing! I know it's been a year since this came out but it still holds up as of Dec 29, 2023. Thank you for this list!
You are quite welcome. Thank you for the feedback and praise. Which of these games are your favorites?
16:00 Farthest frontier has the best. His music is really beautiful and relaxing 🍂🌿🍃
I haven't played it myself yet so I will take your word for it, but by it's trailers, gameplay and others impressions and reviews that really seems to be the case. Besides it, what other ones do you enjoy.
This video is what I need! Thank you!
Hi, thank you for the feedback, you might be also interested in this video> czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
I already have Dawn of Man and Planetbase since last year and I loooove them
Hi Martell and thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on those games with us. As for the upcoming games of this subgenre, which ones are you looking forward to?
lol same, i can't help but play these 2 games again and again
Hi motan7864, sorry for the late replay, btw what do you play now?
E sto mi je drago kad vidim da je neko nas uspeo u ovom poslu. Samo nastavi tako mili!
Zdravo i hvala na lepim željama, ima nas sa ovih prostora, ali da, vrlo malo. Nadam se da će ti se svideti i moji ostali slični videi : czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
Great video, thanks for this!
Thank you Bandit I am glad you enjoyed it ! You can find more similar videos here : czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
Great video really appreciate your time and effort to make it!! Another game i'm really enjoying atm is Manor Lords. Almost exactly the same as Banished ( which I love to death) but also includes real time battle which has a very similar army unit control and feel as a total war battle. It's still in development atm, and it was created by the solo developer Greg Styczeń of Slavic Magic. It's still not finished and has limited tech development atm but still very playable as it is. Highly recommend!!
Hello and thanks for the comment, praise and recommendation. If you look at some of my latest videos you will see that I have made three about Manor Lords :)
Love survival city building/management gamestyle so much
Same here, that is why I spend so much of my time on this channel on them! Going to show you Aquatico very soon!
@@perafilozof It is very nice that we have same fav game :D. pour it well bro :D
I have played this game to death and still adore it. Admittedly Going Medieval is holding my attention pretty firmly.
Thank you for sharing Kris! Glad to have fellow fan of Banished and GM on my channel. Did you use mods with Banished?
Beautiful games, thanks for the video! :)
Hi, I am glad you enjoyed it. Have you any favorites? Also, you might be interested in these as well: czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
@@perafilozof All of them look great, it's a hard choice. Wish I could make a great game myself.
Yessss !!!! Another gem of a video.
Glad you liked it SZ Typetto! I promised another list and it's finally here!
I actually LOVE Ancient Cities! :) It's recently had quite a lot of updates and the developers are taking player feedback into account quite a lot I feel. I really enjoy playing it. :)
Developers? Wasn't there always just one guy?
I love the vibe and the setting of Ancient Cities too. More immersive than Dawn of Man... But the game is still in Early Access and really lacks content, details, and deep gameplay right now. Like if they could add more crafting tools, buildings, animals, predators, trading, fighting, wars...just like how life from Stone Age was...That would be one hell of a game.
The main problem is that the developer has been promising stuff like that for years, if not a decade.
@perafilozof Games aren't developed overnight and Ancient Cities is already a complex one at that. I believe the developer is genuinely passionate about it. In my opinion that counts for something too. Just like with Manor Lords it takes time but I have hope.
@@Brib1234 The difference being in Ancient Cities selling empty promises for years.
Great video. I played quite a few of them but never tackled the post-apocalyptic sub-genre (maybe I'll try Atomic society after all). My favorite is Foundation but it has to be played with lots of mods to be really enjoyable.
Hi Pico22 and welcome to my channel. Thank you for the feedback! Which one was your best alternative? Also, for more similar videos check out this playlist: czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
@@perafilozof ATM I am playing Anno 1800, for the first time. - Also, a new one is coming, Land of the Vikings: the game is not yet available but a demo is (Steam). A bit rough around the edges (pre-alpha) but looks promising to me. Certainly worth checking out.
@@pico2260 thank you for telling me about it. As for Anno I have a whole tutorial series on my channel which you will find useful: czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CFyt6OkomhWtTXWdGw-i6GH.html
Foundation is a must-have if you enjoy gridless and more organic building. In fact it's ruined a lot of these games for me, I find the grids oppressive.
I am totally behind that ! It really is fresh in the way it let's you build organic settlements.
Haven't played any of these, only just started trying to get into the genre then I found this fantastic video showcasing most of the popular ones. I've only played Rimworld which is great but I find it too micro managy at times. Looking to try Timberborn and Foundation but not sure if the lack of combat/more disasters will be an issue. Laysara looks amazing.
Hello blueSKies welcome to my channel and thank you kindly for such great feedback. You will enjoy those games, and in fact I have a similar video but full of RimWorld like games some of which don't have as deep management as it does. czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
rimworld is fucking brutal lol
No other game out there can generate great stories like Rimworld. Most games are just bland reconstruct-after-disaster loops trying to survive whatever the game throws at you.
If you've played Rimworld you know there's really nothing comparable to it (aside from it's Dwarf Fortress inspiration ofc), you feel connected to your pawns and it makes you care for them, THEY are the driving force.
Rimworld is just on another level, often ignored due to its 2D graphics. A pity because it's so far ahead of everything else. 9 years after and still going strong, the amount of depth on this game is unbelievable, the base game alone will give you hundreds of hours of enjoyment, not even going to mention mods.
Other ones of note, Stranded Alien Dawn feels half-baked style over substance, Clanfolk is a okay-ish no-combat derivative, Going Medieval has a very good foundation and the potential to be awesome, Norfolk I'll be keeping a close look on because it's looks really promising.
Hi, welcome to my channel and thank you kindly for sharing your view on all these games. Especially for the Rimworld praise. I do agree totally with all your points and I hope they one day do the same upgrade like Dwarf Fortress developers and open up a whole new market of players which couldn't get pass the graphics. This one one of the reasons Indie games have so much potential because they are free to try things out and find amazing gameplay combinations. What are you playing now?
@@perafilozof Going between Going Medieval, ETS and, ofc, Rimworld
After watching the list of games here, it leaves me with a feeling to revisit categorisation. I felt that Banished-like, Frost-Punk like, Rimworld-Like, Factorio-like, Anno-like, Tropico-like, Simcity-like etc need to be evaluated. I'm going to use Steam's labels as a reference because Steam is an ubiquitous platform. According to Steam, most of these games are listed with one or more labels: Colony-Sim, Survival, City-Building, Business Management etc.
Naturally many of the games we play today and will be playing have branched out or inspired from popular games we know: Sims, Simcity, City Skylines, Anno, Tropico, and Settlers. These were games released during the 2000s. By the 2010s the release of Minecraft was a total game changer. It was a Sims like game with city building elements.
Then came along Banished, which expanded city building with a bit of Sims like elements, closely resembling Minecraft. This spawned many Banished like games. Then came along Factorio and Rimworld.
I would call Factorio as inspired by Minecraft or a Minecraft derivative because it is just like Minecraft without additional players. Even as multiplayer has been added recently in Factorio, playing Singleplayer is the meta. On the otherhand Rimworld is very much a hybridisation of Banished and Minecraft. And so spawned Rimworld like games.
Then we saw the arrival of Frostpunk, which is very much like Banished, and nothing like Minecraft, Factorio, Sims, Simcity/City Skylines or Rimworld. And so started the trend of Frostpunk like games.
It kind of becomes challenging to define what makes a game Banished like versus Frostpunk like, Rimworld like, Anno like, Tropico like as games continue to hybridise features.
Ah very good topic to start SZ Typetto! Good of you to notice and voice this! I had a similar conversation about what separates RTS and RTT games and even some real time 4X games.
It comes down to gameplay features and the way time and resources are designed. It's true that since let's say 2000 games have become more and more a mixing pot of features and elements.
The way you play can for example be very different: Satisfactory vs Factorio, and yet both games are practically the same. You build a base one section at a time and connect it all to make products. Only the way is different one is top down the other first person.
This kid of game development is definitely braking down genre boundaries and I honestly consider that one of the greatest advancements in game development since 3D.
I actually have a video on my to do list which will target this topic.
@@perafilozof , there's resonance in our ideas here. I'm dropping you a message to explore which insights can add the most value. As there's certainly plenty of historicity and recent developments, both intertwined. Yet fine combing the most meaningful pieces of information without losing the meta will make the video enjoyable.
Good points. I will have to think on that really hard when wiring thr script for such a video.
Kingdom reborn are more rimworld like
I never quite got into Banished, probably because I wasn't in the mood to learn its mechanics but I do love myself some city builders.
I'll be sure to give a few of those games a try.
Hello Acabei de Ler and welcome to my channel. I am glad you found them on my list. I have many more videos like it where you might find other games you like : czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
I just learned how to plauy banished in a few hours it looks much harder than it actually is
Very true, especially with natural elemental disasters and if you don't use firewood as the main trade good.
Nice survey, thanks.
Hi, you are quite welcome! Which of these do you like the most? And also you can see more similar games on this playlist: czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CFpLi_MlTb6PIgLkXQM632Y.html
Thank so much, looks like am going to be busy
That is always good to hear! Let me know which you enjoyed the most. And as for future games keep an eye on these and also another list I will publish soon. czcams.com/video/6q1klb2DJ6Q/video.html
Wow that Laysara and underwater thing
Hehe, Yeah! Quite the selection of games to look forward to. Hopefully i will be able to give you some previews soon
Foundation reminds me a lot of an old lesser known, but rather good game called Medieval Lords: Build Defend Expand. It also had some object manipulation features and allowed for some really nice looking medieval village building. Kind of want to play it again after looking at some screenshots.
It did have a few quirks getting it to run even on Win7 iirc, but installing wasn't too difficult. I don't think it's available on any game clients, so physical media might be the only way to go.
Great list! Nothing compares to Banished though in my opinion. Really wish the dev would have kept working on it... But still nice that it has so many mods. Sending settlers on expeditions would be an awesome feature for it.
I think Farthest Frontier is the one I'm looking forward to most. Besides that, I'll stick to games in the Settlers series.
Hi and welcome to my channel. Thank you for the comment and feedback. You can already buy Farthest Frontier while I would suggest you look into Pioneers of Pagonia, demo of which I have covered here: czcams.com/video/Ff7er1A0AHg/video.html
Banished's dev is slowly working on a new similar game. But as you said, mods are really good for it.
Medieval Lords: Build Defend Expand doesn't sound familiar. I must look into that.
No joke, DAWN OF MAN is the most underrated of games in my opinion
Hi and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. What would you want from a sequel to Dawn of Man?
I loved this video, and with 250-ish hours in Banished, I wanted something new. I added a few new things to my wishlist, and even remembered that I already bought Endzone World Apart - I just forgot!
Hello and thank you for that comment and feedback. I am glad to hear that. Hope you enjoy Endzone World Apart as I did too. You can see my how to start guide here czcams.com/video/mOanIjUUI7I/video.html !
Haha. I must've forgot I picked it up in an earlier sale. If I have trouble, I'll come back for that vid. @@perafilozof
Such an extensive list that I'm surprised you missed Manor Lords. It's very early access but shows promise for realism of simulation. Otherwise my favorites on this list is Ostriv, just because it finally breaks the pattern of grids.
Not exactly missed as much as left for a future video as it is not out and we still haven't seen the full gameplay to know what kind of a game genre to put it in.
@@perafilozof right I remember now that I played a limited time demo. But it will be like ostriv with modern graphics.
@@stemid85 that, and than there are full on real time battles like in Total War with formations and more.
Farthest frontier and Timberborn look good. I haven't played any of these city builders yet. Time to change that soon!
Have fun Magepunk77, thank you for sharing your top picks and welcome to my channel. You can find more similar video lists here: czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
I started playing Banished because it felt like I was playing New Settlement Online (or something along that line) again but solo
Hello Iro Nashi and welcome to my channel. I must admit I am not familiar with that game. When was it released? Is it a browser game?
this was an awesome gameplay
Hi Cristi Nicola and thank you for the feedback. I am glad you enjoyed the video. You can find more similar ones here on this playlist: czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
So many interesting titles and so little time to play them.
I know that too well. Have the same problem :) Thx for the comment. Which game have you spend the most time with?
@@perafilozof a RTS? probably Warcraft 3 or Battle for Middle Earth.
What about you.?
Hmm, hard to tell, but probably Warcraft 3, Total War games, Age of Empires and Homeworld.@@JohnMiller-zr8pl
Dawn of Man and Planetbase are also single dev games and I personally love both of them. 😀
Really? I was under the impression it was a team who made those games?
@@perafilozof Whoops, I stand corrected. They are a two person team: Martiño Figueroa and Tucho Fernández. 😀
Yeah, when I read their press stuff it was always WE. Not I.
Ostriv has so much potential!
Agreed! Have you played any of the others?
7:47 - Those poor penguins, I don't think they will get along with the settlers! 😃
One more source of meat for the settlers. 😢
Maybe they are vegans! 😄
@@eleven2435 Pioneers of the practice than :)
😃
You missed the best one: Frostpunk!
Hi, not missed, chose not to use on this list as it doesn't match the gameplay
Thank you.
You are welcome, thank you for the comment you cna find more similar videos here: czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
Someday I wish for a game as intense, hardcore and beautiful as FrostPunk but in the style of zombies. Something like the movie 28 Weeks later...
I can only dream.
Dreams can come true in the gaming world. So keep that hope alive! What are you playing right now btw?
great intro, thanks
Hehe, you are welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! You might like my other similar video too: czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
@@perafilozof yeah, thanks, they are great. i am looking for some survival building games for the new year holiday LOL.
@@Christiti0225 Sweet, I hope you will enjoy these, also my next video will show some of the best ones now on Steam.
@@perafilozof I'm looking forward to that. thanks again~
Great! It will be public tomorrow in about 16 hours.
holy shit so many games i never heard of i am gonna try now i am starting with frostpunk
Hello unitor699 and welcome to my channel. Those are just the tip of the ice berg. You can find out about many more on this playlist: czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
Airborne kingdom and Against the storm ( rogue-like city builder ) should also go on the list.
Airborne came out on steam this year and Against the storm will come out on steam this year.
Hi Turnil and thank you for the suggestion! I know of both of them, and have played Against the Storm, but I would honestly put them in a Frostpunk like game video before I would match them to Banished. Because of the limited size construction and the story modes.
Another city builder I play is depraved if you like western city builder. I know a lot of other didn't like it and i agree it's probably not a great game but I really enjoy it and it's always something I go back to, Also stranded: alien dawn is very good ,even though I'm not far into it yet
Hi, and thank you for sharing that with us. I remember Depraved, but I didn't think it was a good enough project to showcase on my channel back then.
As for Stranded: Alien Dawn, that I do agree it is a good one. Hope you enjoy it more during the holidays.
BTW for newest such games you can see my list here: czcams.com/video/5RKaSGrohOw/video.html
Yes I agree depraved was not loved by most. I think people felt it was abandoned. I enjoy it and I get a lot of fun out of it. That's the great thing about these videos to discover new games and realize you may like a game others don't. The whole point is if you enjoy, it's all that matters. I can, thought, separate my bias. I know depraved is not a great game but I still love it. Thanks for making videos; i love discovering new games to add to my wishlist and see where they go and some become things I play later on.@@perafilozof
Exactly. Well said. Thank you for your lovely comments and feedback on my own videos. Hope you will find more games to enjoy in my past and future videos.@@scooterbgaymes
You should check also Manor Lords. 👍👍👍
Oh I have, played the demo too. Here is Manor Lords in my list of upcoming RTS games. czcams.com/video/WzSqFUl3HUw/video.html
So what are your favorite Banished clones or 2.0 games?
Those two underwater games looks good, more exited for Abyssals.
Right now it's Farthest Frontier.
Are you playing it right now?
Indeed especially the one with vertical buildings coming up from the bottom
@@perafilozof I have an ongoing series on my channel.
Thanks !
You are welcome Danny! Come back soon to see what other games like it you can see in the future.
I dont really like combat in these kinds of games so I stuck to Patron like a parched tick xD i really like it
Hi YukiYasha Higurashi thank you for sharing your thoughts on these games. Have you tried Aquaitco during it's playtest? I posted a video about it here: czcams.com/video/2TOgpHKg_PA/video.html
Check out Frostpunk. Can't wait for part 2.
Oh I played a lot of it! It just didn't really match the gameplay to be part of this list. I too can't wait for the sequel.
@@perafilozof Great! Thank you for making these amazing videos. Just subscribed.
@@aureliogill5866 Hi again! That is great to hear! The next similar video is coming out next weekend!
All these great games or soon-to-be great games I love atomic society and surviving the aftermath for I am a big fallout fan
And I can't wait to play Aquatico and Abyssals for I love the sea and the wandering village reminds me of an old anime classic called nasica and the valley of wind which has this vibe to it
Also it would be cool to have a game in that universe too I can see managing a village from thee fungus spores and bugs and making trades with the empire
And some of the others I play already and can't wait to play with the ones that are coming out for I'm always interested in something new and I can't wait to see more exotic City management games that will come out in the near future Perafilozof 😀👍
I am glad you found several games on this list you are looking forward to playing. I also want to see what exactly these underwater ones will play out. Until next time don!
I think Land of the Vikings is going to be pretty good, havent bought it just yet. Early acess available on steam. Gonna be playing that until MANOR LORDS comes out!!!
Hello Mr Cnett and thank you for sharing your pick of Banished successors! I took a look at Land of the Vikings, but I must admit it didn't look very flushed out to me. I guess it just needs more time in EA to climb up the quality levels. What else do you play these days?
planet base i play this game when i want to hear a podcast
Hehe, nice, thank you for sharing. Ot reminds me of playing Dungeon Siege or Diablo and listening to my favorite rock bands. What are you playing right now?
Pardom me but do you have any video about city building like frostpunk but doesnt consume lot of ram?
Hi, you can try finding something similar here : czcams.com/video/5RKaSGrohOw/video.htmlsi=6acvT6X-26srm8W6
Banished is a legend. Further Frontiers is great game, too bad it's only available on Steam...
Dawn of Man is good, but loses grip the more you play. At least when I played few years ago.
Same with Endzone, but looks like it got tons of new content since I last played.
Looking forward for new project from Basished creator, but as solo creator it will be hard to pull out second time...
Hello Dmitry and thank you for the comment as well as your impressions of these games. I will be there right with you trying out the next game Banished's developer makes. What are you playing now? Also, you can find more such games to look forward to on this list: czcams.com/video/5RKaSGrohOw/video.html
As you said banished is a legend. Further frontiers is the one I got into a few months ago and It has surprised me, because I want to come back to it and see how it develops and it's the closest to banished while also having something I sometimes wish banished had for a while: people trying to robe you and you having to defend your village.
Thank you kindly for sharing. Sorry for the late reply didn't get a notification.
i like city building games especially those that have story campaign...
Hi, and thank you for sharing. What was the last such game you enjoyed?
Put another couple hundred hours into banished again this year. I’ve played some of these but none of them touch banished.
I will say surviving mars… I cried the first time I made the rain fall. But I also hadn’t slept in 20+ hrs. Be careful and stay hydrated lol
Hehe, I have spent many late nights with Surviving Mars myself. My wife found me at 4AM more times than I care to admit in front of that game!
Thank you for the comment! Lets see what the developer of Banished has in store for his next game.
played all of them
Wow, congratulations! So which are the best ones, looking back?
StoneHearth is an awesome game. Too bad it didn't go further. The mods for it make it quite different than most civ games.
Hi The3DSMaxinator and welcome to my channel. Thank you for adding another one to the list.
If it wasn't abandoned, would have been my favourite game ever! Perfect mix of enjoyable but things still going on and not overly micro management!
Songs of Syx would've been great on this list 👍
Hi, the thing is, I did, just not in this video, but in one with games similar to Rimworld. You can see it here: czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.htmlsi=G2ZkLkHqDIYvD8Th
nicely done

Thx for showing steam rating but a lot of games are still in early access and not really released yet...
Hi Denis, yes they are because most are new. Most should be completed in the next few years.
i would add, manor lords and stranded alien dawn to the list.
Manor Lords I covered many times in other videos, and it is now classified as an RTS. As for Stranded Alien Dawn, that is a great addition. It's announcement came up after this video was made, otherwise I would have included it. What do you play these days Joao?
@@perafilozof great, it was not a critic was just adding up. I cover this genre a lot. Great work man.
@@TenentePereira Thx!
Aunque aún no ha salido a la venta el mejor de todos será MANOR LORDS.
Veremos cuando sale. Además, es un RTS.
You are missing, Mannor Lords and Songs of Syx, the latter I have been playing loads of recently, I keep writing and re-writing my own one of these, I registered the domain Barbarian Frontier in 2008 and have built about 5 distinct versions of my own survival city builder, after playing Children of the Nile, I wanted to explore something that followed individuals with money and wants and needs, kinda how Ostiv has done it, so rather than a communist system, you can create either a more feudal or capitalist system and have worldwide trade and territory control. I keep messing up by also trying to cram multiplayer in where it doesn't really belong, and my latest version is using Unity DOTS which does allow for 100,000 NPCs all doing their own thing on the same map, with jobs and needs, but again I had to go and put multiplayer in as it was fun having armies of 10,000 on each side fighting and still running smoothly with up to 8 players but it kills the original theme, I think its best to stick to NPC raid events.
Hello David, and welcome to my channel. Actually I didn't because Manor Lords is in essence an RTS with city building so I had it present for this list: czcams.com/video/WzSqFUl3HUw/video.html As for Songs of Syx I showcased it in this video along side similar games: czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
Barbarian Frontier? I must admit never having heard of it before but I like the concept. Did you go public with any footage? I am glad hear you have a good where to take it next. If you want to have consolations with fellow developers, maybe you can ask for advise on my discord from other developers there?
I wanna see a game in victorian age setting about indastrial revolution
Hmm, I will let you know when I run into one such as that. What are you playing now?
Bravo, gledam iz Hrvatske. Samo nastavi dalje!
Hvala lepo! Možeš videti još sličnih videa na ovoj playlisti: czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
How does Endzone compare with Surviving the Aftermath? They look much the same. Also, are there any Planetbase/Surviving Mars-like builders that are not based on Mars? I suppose Universim is getting there but I don't like the globe-shaped map: I would like something more realistic, with plenty of choices or options for setting up the planetary environment.
Hi, as for your first question they are not exactly the same because one, Endzone, is on a much bigger scale than the other, STA. Also Surviving the Aftermath has the map for character rpg like exploration and combat while Enzone has the scavenger hunts across it's main map. I would say both have their merits and both are worth playing. As for more Surviving Mars like games there really isn't anything out there yet. And even that one is incomplete. You could check out Per Aspera or Reshaping Mars or Solargene. But they are each different in a lot of ways.
@@perafilozof OK that's good to know, thanks.
Thank you
No, thank you for watching and for the comment! Which games did you like the most from this list? Also, I have another list of similar games here : czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
You make me buy Banished!!!! Ostriv is/was my favorite, will see ho much i will enjoy Banished
To bad that war screwed everithing, that game is amazing! The best part of the game is when you make a mistake, settlers just leave and new will move in giving you the opportunity to repair what you dis wrong withouth losing everything. But like i said, war make hard for devs to bring new features in game... i can wait for next uptade...
Now let´s see Banished
I am glad to hear that, I hope you enjoy it for many hours. Pro tip: make lots of firewood it's a great item to sell to traders. Also always put a forestet, herbalist, hunter and woodcutting in a tight formation and leave a large area around them empty for wood, palnts and animals.
@@perafilozof Thx for your tips, I did that. (i was for some beginners tips on CZcams 😁) But, i had to start like 4-5 times till i got it right, i mean i thing i got it write, i will see after few winters pass
I played before Settlemet Survival, i feel that they copied the entire Banished game.
Please give a try to Ostriv, it is fantastic in my opinion for how relaxing and stress free can be... You only need to take care that you do not run out of money (and there is a trick for that in the city hall... some changes in tax and payments that wil make you profitable)
Thx for your video, it give me a good game for this month.
That's great! I wish you many hours of fun! And thank you on the recommendation it is definitely on top of my list of games now.
Not sure if it counts as a Banished clone but the best city builder I have played is Anno 1800.
A fantastic game in it's own league. Can't really find an equal to it anywhere. Thanks for the comment! More videos you might enjoy here: czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html&si=17G9aTWx5PB9E5q1
The Wandering Village had to be inspired by Zou in One Piece
Could very well be. You like the show?
I've played a lot of colony building games for more than 10 years now so to hear that "Banished is cloned" is so funny to me.
I can believe that. There were games like it before Banished but you have to admit some really tried to copy it.
One day someone will make a good narrative driven city builder that plays with other genres like action-adventure and RPG's. I imagine a game like Black and White mixed with Skyrim
B&W / Skyrim??? I think I would die of shock at that. Of happiness that is. Brilliant idea!
Nice video, thank you. Why do people like Banished so much over all these other similar games? I only played a little and am a novice in the genre, so maybe not picking up on what it offers that other city builders don't.
Hi, thank you for the compliment and comment. I would say it is a combination of three things: 1) one lone developer making it 2) simple but totally logical and working as intended just like games of the 1990-2000's 3) the pay off when you manage to learn and win the game yourself dispite it not being easy. There are some additional things like mods, cheap game with no dlc, being released when there were no real competitors and so on. Btw you might like some of my other similar videos : czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
@@perafilozof Thank you. I definitely see the appeal of the "cheap game with no dlc" thing. I can't bring myself to buy certain games like Surviving Mars and Anno 1800 because all the heaps of DLC seems so predatory.
I will check out your other videos!
Yeah, the greedy publishers ruin the experience for everyone and set the wrong kind of bar for everyone else.
Thing that I hate most is they don't give us any love on the Mac. I mean sure I can just go through Parallels or something but when I can I prefer just to buy a version of a game made to run natively on the Mac. I tend to gravitate to the games that suppose both OS's but there are not many of those in the city builder world.
Hi, I know and understand but it's simply to small of a market. Not worth to the publishers and developers the time it takes. It is unfortunate, but that is how it is. What are you playing right now?
@@perafilozof Currently I am hanging on to Settlement Survival. I was playing Cities Skylines but feel the game has become really long in the tooth. Also Tropico 6 is cool but it doesn't hold my interest for too long. Dawn of Man was good but I was sad when the developer ended development so I just stopped playing it and moved fully to Settlement Survival.
Thank you for sharing. I didn't get Tropic 6 after the first 5. They just keep going into the wrong direction for me. I do need to start playing Settlement Survival for myself.
@@perafilozof I agree on Tropico I wont buy another one. I had hopes that 6 would be something great and it was underwhelming. I and ready for Settlement Survival to get an update to fix the issue with too may resources being collected its very bad in that regard. I am over Cities Skylines rolling out all of these DLMs without updating the core game itself to something that is better able to compete against the new players in the game. Some of the mods don't work well and result in errors so I don't feel that approach is the best for a game like that in the long run.
@@jmwdba Cities: Skylines is a Frankenstein. Shallow never finished features supporting a host of tacked on DLCs which in turn are patched by mods.
That games only reason for success is because there is no better one at that scale out there. While CS it's self is a shallow broken shell.
if any one looking for city builder on big scale, songs of syx is good to try
Hi, that is a good recommendation. And I actually have that game on my other list of games : czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.htmlsi=V9egwJhPmLeydexx
I think instead of "city builders with survival" or "like banished" the term "colony survival" fits this kind of game best and is perfectly decriptive of what they are.
Hi zamaszysty! To some extent, yes, you are right. The trouble is there there is a certain subsection of those colony survival games which don't really have the same gameplay. Like Going Medieval or Frostpunk. So for example I included GM in my list of Rimworld like games: czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html But for Frostpunk I think I need a separate list.
@@perafilozof As always, there is a spectrum (there always is, isn't there? :D). Frostpunk and Going Medieval have different emphasis, but in general the idea is the same - build a settlement that can survive in given conditions. In Frostpuk it's more a macro scale, in Going Medieval it's more a microscale. Though once you get to do things in expeditions around the region in Going Medieval, the two will start to feel MUCH more similar I think. The expedition model is also popular in the genre since Surviving The Aftermath and Endzone both implemented expeditions as well. :)
@@zardzewialy Yeah, those expeditions really help open up gameplay for these kinds of static main base building games. When a game leans on RPG elements more like Frostpunk or has very small population you are in some more direct control that is when the similarities to Banished for example start becoming thin.
@@perafilozof I'm not sure if in case of frostpunk it's more roleplay, or just straight up politics and social management.
True, but it's just so out of the box in that one. It's a similar issues with how I have a hard time fitting AoE IV next to Tempest Rising for example. RTS both yet so many differences.
Perfect.
Thank you, I am glad to hear that. You might enjoy this video just as much: czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
Ostriv, 3rd of May 2024:
Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam !
Thank you for sharing. Is that one your favorite?
@@perafilozof
Since yesterday... mind-blowing !
@@krixpop If I remember correctly, the game is made by an Ukrainian. So it is possible people are just trying to help him this way.
@@perafilozof
hm maybe, but I red some player reviews , pointing out (their words) that whatever Manor Lords original feature, Ostriv already did it.
Manor Lords looks cool, and is my next hunt, but for now Ostriv is super, Ukrainian notwithstanding !
Yeah, but Manor Lords is in Unreal Engine and looks amazing. Apples and oranges
Are any of these type games avaliable on ps5
Hi, Endzone - A World Apart should be. Surviving Mars, Dawn of Man, Kingdoms and Castles and Aven Colony should have versions on the PlayStation store.
You not even mentioned Frostpunk?
That's my favorite in the surviving city builders😅
Hi, indeed it is a very good and fun game, but it didn't fit here because you only have the one map and limited space in which to build. It is simply too different to Banished to put in on this list. If I was doing a list of Best survivor builders ever, it would be on top of that list. BTW which other games like it have you enjoyed in the past?
@@perafilozof ah thank you for the answer. from this style of games i didn´t played a lot yet, just surviving mars, it was good but didn´t amaze me, i think timberborn would be a good game for me i want to play, also foundation and per aspera, but i think the last one also not go into this list, because it´s to different^^
Thank you for sharing your favorite and the ones you want to play. Those are all good choices in my book.
Going Medieval
Hello and welcome to my channel theApeShow. That game is actually on my other list, the one about Rimworld like games: czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
IS endzone or farthert frontier harder? i want a super hard game
Having played the first and not the second I would say both, but in different stages of gameplay. Endzone has less end game and you can get so big it becomes repetative to defend against new attacks and expand more. On the other hand it also has a lot of options to make your game very hard to begin with. Same can be said about FF but as I said I don't have first hand experience to be sure.
Pero Srbine, Manorlords se čeka!
Pozdrav, slažem se. Samo što je to manje više RTS zbog vojske i borbi.
I dont Know but This Is Like Townsman
Oh, Townsman? That is a name of a game?
@@perafilozof townsmen is a classic mobile game back in java era, but they made android version too.
Ah, I see, thank you for explaining. Is it free to play or pay to win?
@@perafilozof it's like 60 cent here. Maybe you can try for a 10 minutes and then refund it, if you don't like. Then again it's a mobile game at best.
@@chainjail4834 Right. Good point. Thank you
which ones are running on macOs please ?
Hi, those would be: Planetbase, Surviving Mars, Settlement Survival, Kingdoms and Castles and The Wandering Village.
LOL... I guess I know my favorite genre.. I bought every one of these games.
Hehe, nice. But did you try out these games: czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
The Wandering Village looks like a GAME. I mean, devs are potentially open to whatever ideas, they can implement everything ANY fantasy, but most of them focus on realistic games, just copying the world. Even if they chose to use cartoon graphics, they at least make world to function realistic. Unlike in The Wandering Village, where you build a settlement ON A FREAKING DINOSAUR OR SOMETHING. That's the spirit of early games like Atari, also Nintendo. Games should be games, fantasies. Not a poorly made copy of a real world. Need more games like this.
Hello Jerry and welcome to my channel. I totally agree with your sentiment and also very much liked the Wandering Village I showcasesd it along a few other more inovative games here : czcams.com/video/DXnpdIzPuhg/video.html
BTW, do you know of any space colony builders that actually use design concepts that engineers for such projects embrace- like modularity? Planetbase is not it, I'm afraid, too much 'magic building ray' for my taste. I'd like to see a game in which, for example, the landing ship was viable housing, all the essentials came in 'kits' which could be assembled, but to build more of them you would need to set up all the manufacturing capability from things the kits could produce.
I'd also like to see such a game that began with mission planning- what, specifically, do you need to take with you for the environment you're going to? What kind of structures can be built with simple local resources? (For instance, a planet with trees has a lot of possibilities lacking in a planet like Mars, where knowing how to build things out of dirt is paramount, so taking bulldozers and excavators in the first wave would be key, whereas the components of a sawmill might be more valuable on a planet with appropriate tree-like species.) If you know of a game like this, please let me know.
Hi again, I am not sure I can think of one exactly like that off the top of my head, but you should check out Solargene, it has some elements that you are looking for. InfraSpace less so, Stardeus is a bit different. Oxygen Not Included is again different than those.
@@perafilozof Thanks. I like ONI, but I'd like something a bit more science-based. I'll check out the others.
I like Ostriv, but unfortunately, I encountered a critical bug that makes it impossible to enjoy the game. I will wait for the next updates and hope that they will somehow fix the situation.
Oh, I am sorry to hear that, but thank you for sharing it with us. What other similar games have you enjoyed in the past?
@@perafilozof Not sure how similar the game is... but I'm just playing through Frostpunk for the second time. This time I want to get all achievements for the game. I love the atmosphere of this game, the style. But the game has a lot of limitations in construction and it is difficult to create a really aesthetically attractive city here. A sequel is coming out soon, and judging by the trainers, the developers focused on the atmosphere and events, and not on the urban planning elements. Which is generally expected.
Hi again. That is correct, the city building part is only a stage for the story and drama of Frostpunk so it is a rather different and almost unique game. The sequel is going to sell like hotcakes as long as there are not big technical issues at launch
@@perafilozof Yes, I agree with you. Thanks for the cool video)
You are welcome! Enjoy the next ones too
And no mention of MANOR LORDS at all?
Hello Vax_Gax_Lax_ Bax_Max_Vax, interesting nick! Welcome to my channel. I didn't add it here, because Manor Lords is in essence an RTS with city building so I had it present for this list: czcams.com/video/WzSqFUl3HUw/video.html
don't forget manor lord
Well... it doesn't really fit this particular gameplay. Where I did have it is in my list of 45 upcoming RTS games here: czcams.com/video/WzSqFUl3HUw/video.html
So there is many copies of Banished but I still think noone are as good as Banished in my opinion. For me the graphics is very importing and I don't want sci-fi stuff or unrealistic monster etc. The only game I think is good enough for me -is Farthest Frontier
I think Surviving the Aftermath is really good too. Thank you for the comment abd sharing your thoughts Zmile! You can find many more similiar videos here : czcams.com/play/PLRYGjguAn0CETNi54IC0YsVNFtTdd6Ccc.html
Damn I played 50% of these games... I guess I'm addicted to this genre lol
IMO best game on the list is Timberborn.
And the only games I'd advise against are Planetbase & Aven Colony, both monotonous, in addition colonies don't look good.
Hehe, that is totally understandable. I love these kinds of games too, just wish I had more time to play them. Timberborn somehow never clicked for me, I need to give it another chance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on these. Do you play Rimworld like games too? I have a similar list of those: czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
@@perafilozof Thank you for taking the time to respond :)
Timberborn is also a bit of a "factory" game, I can understand it's not for everyone.
I'll have a look at the Rimworld-like list, it's my 4th most played game on Steam ^^ Thank you!
No problem, it is my pleasure to talk to my viewers. Have you seen any totally new games which could be better than banished? This list was made a while back.
You wrong about Planetbase. That's a sold addition. It's not about graphics. If you can understand how the ai works, it's a great addition; yes understanding as in it's not great but can be played and very fun. I think most against it cause it's harder than other games of this type. Also, Aven colony is a solid addition as well and has a not bad campaign; cheesy but very playable.
Hi and thank you for sharing your view on this game with us. Which of the games from this list are your favorites?@@scooterbgaymes
is there a release for the ps4 console
Hi, those would be Aven colony, Surviving Mars, Dawn of Man
Ну и произношение у вас, Кисуля)
Надеюсь, это комплимент? :)
Personal opinion alert!
Banished is tons of fun for 10 hours until you figure it out, then the difficulty is rather trivial. Banished has been heavily dethroned by Rimworld, the ultimate colony survival game.
That is not a bad take. It can be played in a way that the difficulty goes away, but that in my experience depends on two things: how you start and what are the settings for natural events. Somethimes it is much harder other times you can reach a point where you feel like you are done. But, for those who haven't mastered the game, there are plenty of moments where one failure windfalls into a catastrophe. So, I totally agree that on a personal level, many people who have learned it really well consider it now not very difficult. Btw I did a whole list of games like RimWorld , maybe you can tell me what you think about some of the alternatives? czcams.com/video/9_2Y4cjqxPY/video.html
@@perafilozof Oh i ment Rimworld as a "game that's like banished", i felt it was missing in your list.
In the Rimworld-video though, you should consider adding Banished to the list :D :D :D
or DF. There's always room for DF. Especially now that it's on Steam
Good point. I did start off from that idea, but felt like there were so many games like those two, that both needed a seperate list. Like the main difference being how individual settlers are much more personalized in Rimwold like games comapred to Banished like games.
ok i have played all games from Endzone to Farthest Frontier.... and i have to say, for me, the number 1 and 2 are Planetbase and surviving the aftermath. Planetbase is a very short game, but the way you have to care about people and the missions are good. very simple and entertatining... Survivng the aftermath was good because it has 2 modes the city building and the wxploring mode where you have some kind of melee combat... all other games are good but...is just that it lacks of fun...there are not real random situations except the usual bear or wolf coming at your base...so as the time goes by it becamoes a little bit boring...
Hi Raul, and thank you kindly for sharing your experience and likes for this games. Did you see the new expansion for StA? Looks like a nice amount of content. I do agree the two gameplay layers really help it stand out and make it more fun. I finished it once, started a few times, and I didn't even own the expansion. So more playtime for me in the future is guaranteed
I just wished to see the name of the game from the thumbnail. Any clue? :O
Hi, that would be Kingdoms Reborn, 7:11.
@@perafilozof Thank you! :D
I still play Banished every now and then. There's actually one game recent that tried to be a spiritual successor to Banished. I played the demo but I don't like the cartoonish graphic, specifically the wavy tree animations. I discovered that recently I'm quickly put off by such animations. The animation is giving me the uncomfortable feeling of nausea is building up but never actually coming. Some other examples are like the reeds in Ghost of Tsushima, grass in a top down survival game on an island and to a lesser degree the grass in Horizon Zero Dawn. Games with smaller grass and less wavy animation don't cause similar reaction.
Hello Dare ka and thank you for sharing this interesting effect on you with us. I must admit I never experienced such an effect myself and always found the moving grass and trees of interest. What are you playing right now?
I recommend Farthest frontier, I have been looking for a banished sucessor for years and I finally found it, (i literally have nearly all the games in this video because of that). They never got things quite right, but Fartherst got it, it even has the possibility to make it so you get attacked by riders and need to defend your city (if you want, you can deactive otherwise), something I wish banished had at some point.
Any oc these for ps4
Hi BOBBY BATES and welcome to my channel. There was a text prompt on the screen for games which are also on consoles. Those would be, Endzone, Surviving Mars, Aven Colony and Surviving The Aftermath
