Such a subjective thing to say! I don’t know about better, they just tackle different audiences and areas within the industry.

I’m excited about different games, triple AAA titles offer me something Indie games don’t and vice versa.

Banished is a great experience, whether or not it’s better than any other game is a hard thing to say, you can only truly compare like for like and discuss the flaws and merits of each title in relation to it’s aims.

For example asking whether or not Banished is better than Titanfall is a ridiculous question. In all fairness it’s probably even ridiculous to ask whether Banished is better than say, Towns … both games offer different experiences and have different aims.

Look what you’ve started.
