Desktop Farm
this game is great to just have running and check back in on from time to time. the plants are adorable, the animals are adorable, and you can do some pretty entertaining things here.
personally, i made a maze for a bunch of cows to meander around and get lost in. those that got out of the maze got the sweet reward of getting satiated. those that did not are now stuck in the fences, and it is a deserved fate for not escaping before they got fully grown.
however, that isn’t to say that the animal ai is particularly bad, but they get stuck on fences a lot. as in, they’ll be trapped and infinitely walking forward forever into a fence and their satiation will plummet.

Desktop Farm is fun and it works like a basic farming simulator should. It did get a little laggy near end game but I must have had 2k animals by then. I did not feel it was heavy on the PC but i felt like the game limited its self from using too much RAM and CPU. The game did crash once or twice but it was far from crashing the PC. Moving around the map was kind of annoying because the blue highlight square would show up when right clicking and dragging. Despite that it was still very playable and enjoyable for a few days. It gave me the urge to play more in depth and expensive farming games while satisfying my idle itch. Get it if you are in the mood for casual farming/idle play, a few achievements or you need something to do while waiting for loading screens or smelting metal frags.

Townsmen - A Kingdom Rebuilt
Townsmen is what I imagine a poor mobile clone of The Settlers Online would look and play like.
The art is actually pretty nice and seemingly inspired by Settlers Online and similar browser-based timer games. Unfortunately, the gameplay is based directly on those kinds of games as well, while implementing some of the worst practices of mobile games to boot. This makes it an okay time waster for mobile users if you can’t afford anything better, but a truly terrible experience on PC.
The user interface is a mobile-only monstrosity. Nothing here is designed for screens larger than 10". Between enormous icons popping up in a scrolling list and giant buttons on-screen at all times, this is the definition of a low effort mobile port. Made worse by everything being hidden behind buttons and sub-sub-menus that contain next-to-no content. This due to fonts sized for people who’ve given up on being able to read anything even with reading glasses. Even basic features like building rotation are missing because mobile screens apparently can’t handle that many giant buttons on screen at once. The build menu is also cluttered with DLC buildings even if you don’t own the DLC in order to motivate players to buy said DLC, a classic scummy mobile game move.

I am a big fan of townsmen games on java mobiles, I’ll say yeah this game is okay. I’m being honest with you I don’t really like the new vector style, even so, it’s enough for the current era. you know what my favorite ? look at this link . You see? that game is better than this. why ? first, the old game like townsmen 6 when you upgrade your building the building sprite will change. Unlike this steam version you only get new stars on its detail page. yeah this game it’s worth since it can scale to big resolution but no one can beat townsmen 6. :)

Banished
Great game. It’s not so much about managing towns, more about whether or not people survive your town managing skills. Have fun.

To me Banished set a golden standard for city builder/ colony sim games. There wasn’t anything especially new or innovative for the genre, but the mechanics and elements of the game just came together really well and the end-product was so polished. The graphics were something different, most games in this genre don’t focus on that much and usually have more simplistic pixel type graphics. This had a much more realistic look, which I thought was pretty cool.
A lot of city builder/ colony sim games have enemies that attack every so often or land you have to conquer. I like some of those games a lot, but I was also really intrigued by this one NOT having that and instead having nature as your enemy. Hunger, weather, temperature, natural disasters, etc. were your enemy instead. This focus on natural survival felt pretty original, though there are probably games that have done it before.

ISLANDERS
Islanders Review
This adventure never ends!
Some key points that this game offers:
-
Procedural Generation; the fun never ends!
-
Two gameplay modes
-
Indie Gem 5/5
Gameplay & Controls:
The game is played with your keyboard and mouse; the layout and keys are pretty simplistic. This is in no way whatsoever a bad thing! This is simply a minimalistic game that doesn’t require much to offer you hours of joy.
You start the game on one island, choosing between two build packs. Once chosen it is up to you to determine where to place your buildings. Depending on the position that you build, you will receive a score for each placed building. There are several factors that multiply the score; it can either be increased or receive a loss. It comes down to some strategic thinking.

THE ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY…
Islanders is a simple yet sophisticated city builder that is both incredibly relaxing and delightfully addictive—and a VERY worthy addition to your game library!
[➕] THE POSITIVES
- The ART STYLE. The game makes the absolute most of its colors and shapes to provide a minimalistic setting where you can build and grow your idyllic island city. Everything is themed to “fit” together—from the sprawling farmlands to the Tetris-like cities and manufacturing areas—and ultimately results in an island-scape that feels like your own, personal creation!

SUPER BUILD
UPDATE 6-8-2020: The game, like most, also has an official Discord community. While the members are generally kind and helpful, the server is overseen by a handful of moderators. These few moderators subjectively decide whether or not you’re a “Good Builder” and rank you up according to their personal opinions. I find this very discouraging, as I’ve noticed certain unfair biases among a few of these moderators. We spend many hours on these creations using our imaginations, only to have a mod invalidate or overlook our entire creation. Whose to say we aren’t all Legendary Builders?

I began my journey with this game back when it first started as a little mobile project. As someone who always plays Minecraft in creative mode, I was immediately interested. It had a fun concept, beautiful visuals, decent interface, and constant updates. I think the updates were the best part early on. There were usually lots of new items making each update feel like an early Christmas. What really impressed me was the care the developers took to read people’s reviews, respond, and actually implement a large portion of the (unsolicited) suggestions. I’ve seen very few developers who care that much about player feedback.
