I've been playing this game called Banished since last night, all day today, if you liked any of the Sims games, you'll like this, even if you don't or haven't, I'd recommend checking out the videos at least, it's 75% off right now, it's like $5.

But this game can also be heavily modified through the Steam Workshop, there's a ton of mods I haven't even touched yet.
In the Settlers you had to build your empire carefully managing your resources/production in order to create a strong army and conquering your enemy territories.
This game is doesn't have much purpose though, what you do when you finish building the perfect village?
You destroy it and start all over again as you do with the Sand Castles?
I myself however hate Sims with a passion ...
