My most nostalgic game is a colony sim from two decades ago—how does it hold up today? – Destructoid

Oh, how time has changed.

Old memories can have many forms for different people. Your iT, it may look like your first experience in an arcade, picking up a copy of it Signs of zelda In the 80s I am trying for Nes, or trying Diablo 1 For me in the late 90’s, it has been playing colony Sims and cooking games since the early 2000s.

While my first video was the game The heroes of strength and magic 3The oldest thing is a colony SIM, which is easy to according to today’s standards, but for the moment was amazingly difficult. For at least one young child, that is. I tell you all about Virtual ruralA game series with which I have grown up in my early years and has recently been learned that it is still ongoing.

For those who are blousing, Virtual rural A comfortable colony is a simulated game series where you care for a group of existence, eyes and villagers like a powerful god. Your villagers have begun discovering secrets within the village, from training the basic skills of their survival, from the beers to the construction of huts and new technologies. These secrets come in the form of puzzles, and it is up to you to solve them based on indications around the map. Most titles in this regard follow the same form, but for me is the first entry of a series with the most old price, Virtual Rural: A new house.

It seems easy to imagine, okay? Well, kind. This is a very simple concept of today’s standards that we have seen repeatedly, which has been carefully prepared during decades of innovation in the gaming industry. Even for 2006, it was not the most difficult game there, but it was enough for my child’s choice, who needed several playths to find out that you could stop the game.

That’s fineVirtual rural It runs in real time. You can establish your villagers for success, with some buildings, a research, and one or two fodder, just come back after a few days and see everyone because when Barry Bush ran out of fruit for harvesting, they ran out of food. There is a balance between playing actively on the map and discovering secrets and returning a few hours late to see how matters are going on. Let’s just say that I struggled to find this balance until I got bigger and learned some strategies. Until then, I had to resume several times as I suffered more than my village and ran out of food.

Overall, though, it follows a simple format that you can mostly apply to the playthrough. You focus on eating and research before building your village and increasing your population, so you can work more and more people together. You also need to find diseases, so being a local healing to help build a medicine will prevent any unfortunate, unexpected accidents. As I was older, I noticed it all: My younger soul focused primarily on the promotion of more and more villagers so that I would have more workers to take care of the village. This strategy was far from perfect, but whenever I got the lucky run, he occasionally worked.

With all of them, how does it happen? Virtual rural Catch in modern times? I can’t talk for new entries like Initially 2 Or Divine destinyLike my last Virtual rural Was the game The tree of life. For the four initial titles I have played, though, it depends on the recent discovery that I have: Mobile version.

After feeling old and diving in back Virtual ruralI learned that there are mobile versions of each game, including old and new entries in the series such as spin office as well Virtual Families. Although I do not think that the old memories are enough to justify the series to lift the series at their regular PC prices, especially with similar (or less) price tags with high quality indi sports within this gender, I can’t say so for their very cheap mobile counterparts.

At least for me, I have accepted it Virtual rural I have a fundamental memory in my mind that my heart is infiltrated when I think about my childhood. I can go back one day to experience the blast on a different platform from the past. For now, I am satisfied with testing new games and expanding my horizon, while recognizing its overall positive impact on my gaming history in this series.
