Why Players Find It Difficult

Players generally find this game manageable because of the following factors:

• Players are punished for poor decisions more than poor reflexes
• Progress depends on planning and system understanding
• Some sections require experimentation before the correct approach becomes clear
• PC control schemes may add complexity in action-heavy sections

Who Will Find It Difficult

Banished should be manageable for most players, including many newcomers. More experienced players may find it fairly forgiving throughout. Players who rated games like Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, Dredge, and Cult of the Lamb at a similar challenge level may find Banished broadly comparable in difficulty.
