Kenshi
Description
Kenshi is an open world, squad based sandbox RPG set in a brutal sword-punk wasteland. Gameplay is open-ended rather than a linear story, so you can play as a settler, a trader, a thief, a rebel, a warlord, an adventurer, a farmer, a slave... or just food for the cannibals.
But first things first, you need to survive. Train your men up from puny victims to master warriors, carry your wounded squad mates to safety and get them all home alive. You are not the chosen one, you’re not great and powerful, you don’t have more ‘hitpoints’ than everyone else and you are not special. Unless you work for it.

- Customise a solo character or a whole squad and train them from puny victims to master warriors
- Survive in an unrelenting world of slavers, cannibals, wild beasts and famine. Nowhere is safe.
- Build your own fortress, research technologies, craft your own gear and wage war with other factions
- Explore and scavenge the uncharted lands of one of the largest single player open world maps to date
- Absolutely no level-scaling. The world does not level up along with you and the game won't hold your hand.

Critics reviews

7.5/10
An intriguing RPG/Survival hybrid sandbox that invites you to experiment in the world it presents. Some technical hiccups interrupt the open world and the freeform nature definitely isn't for everyone but if you are after something different, Kenshi is the very definition of that.

84/100
Work through the presentational ugliness and technical awkwardness, and you'll find an experience of frightening depth.

9/10 stars
Difficult and unforgiving, Kenshi is clearly someone's labor of love. You'll likely either love it or hate it, but either way, you have to admire its resolve.

Why? It will never matter
I have absolutely no way to explain what it is that keeps me glued to this game but once I get into it, my brain becomes fused with it and it takes me into a world of pure disdain. This is definitely my most played game of all time in hours spent and I couldn't tell you why

Awesome and funny
It's a hard game and you will spend hours dying, but you can make it funny trying risky ways to survive.

Death
The stakes are high, I knew I would be doing another run when my character was being eaten alive.
