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.

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.

I got kenshi-holed
They plop you in a world that hates you and you just want to survive, then you want revenge, and then 200 hours have gone by, exactly the kind of game you think it is and it does it better

Great sandbox!
Try it, and try not to spend hundreds of hours on it.
