Kenshi

It's unbelievable that this game even exists. Best enjoyed blind, but it will be frustrating for a few hours. Mods highly recommended, but not for a first playthrough.

Played this 1st when it was in devlopment and just returned. Games just compelling with no quest structure or plot like other RPGs the purpose is to not just survive but to thrive in the harsh wastelands. Travel find oppatunities, farm, raid, run away, get enslaved, escape. Living in Kenshi is its own adventure.

I cant even put this into words. Its so unique. Expand, quest if you want, or build, farm, mine, fight, find secrets, wipe out societies, make factions fight each other, go rouge, get your pushed in. This game is like nothing you've ever played before.

Do not feel discouraged. For me this clicked as soon as I just found a copper source, build simple campfire, mined copper, sold it, bought building materials, build a shack and repeated. everything comes natural after that. Give it an hour or two. You will not be disappointed afterwards!

It's Kenshi, ¿what else you want?
