Banished (2014)
My first real game of 2014 and so far it's pretty good. Basically it's a survival/ village builder, but don't go into it thinking it's
Sim City but in ye olde times because it's not. Nor is it much like the
Civilization series, but rather this weird hybrid of all three. It can be pretty unforgiving though because the villagers of my first village of Dog Bollock all died during the first winter, and there wasn't an option to have them go all Donnor Party on the dead (at least none that I found).
Definitely worth the $20 if you're after something a little more slow paced and strategic.
