Monthly Wrap Up: July 2022

This month has been so much fun with how many games that I've gotten to play.  I'm honestly surprised at how many games that I've gotten to play and try again.  This month I got to play one of the most popular games as well as a few old favorites from the past!  So let's get started!

Monthly Wrap Up: June 2022

Ok so this post isn't to late in terms of it didn't take me a month to write... As long as its in the month it's fine!  OK so last month was busy with the last and I cannot tell you how many games I played in terms of demos and stuff.  I will only be mentioning the games that stood out to me the most as to cut down on space since I don't want to write an essay talking about all of them.  So let's get started!

Monthly Wrap Up: August 2021

Wait what happened, first I just turned August now its September!  What the heck is happening to time!  It's going to fast that I cant keep up with whats happening and its making it difficult to get anything done.  But then I guess that means I need to plan better and figure out whats the best play to play all the games!  So let's get started!

Monthly Wrap Up: July 2021

Where has the time gone! It felt like it was July 1st a week ago and now we're into August!  Time please slow down, I don't want to loose the free time I have just been given before I have to start working! Anyway, enough with my complaining. July was filled with games and I am so happy that I've basically caught up to everything that I've been lagging behind in.  However, this gave me the perfect opportunity to try out some new games and finish some old one!  Shall we begin?!?!

Banished Review

I think its safe to say that I'm addicted to building simulations, especially where I can build my own medieval village!  So when I saw Banished I knew that I had to play this game.  Banished   is a city building strategy game where a ground of exiled travelers decided to start their lives in a new land with only the clothes on their back and a cart of supplies.  The game was released by Shining Rock Software LLC on February 18th, 2014.  So let's get started!

How to Survive Banished on Hard Mode

Over the last few times I've played Banished, I've noticed that my skills in the game have improved very rapidly, to the point of when  I play on the easiest level I get board because it's just too easy.  After switching too Hard mode I've noticed that I now basically kill everyone within minutes and have to start my game all over again, which is a pain if you forget to save before you start the game.  So over the last few months, I've collected some of my own data to test out a few theories on how to survive on hard mode.  While collecting this data, I played on the game’s largest map with natural disasters on.  Making this probably one of the hardest challenge  for me as a player.
