Kenshi

I've been playing this game quite a lot since I bought it and it is quite addictive. There are camera bugs, there are AI pathing bugs (a lot), there are bugs in placing of building, when moving around the World loading is easily triggered and awkward and so on. None of this matters! The game is seriously entertaining with really a lot of playing hours (days, weeks, months?) worth of game. It has a BIG playing area (really stupidly large) with several wholly different zones, enganging gameplay (addictive even) plus tons of things to do and places to discover. This was clearly a project with an overambitious scope, mixing open-world exploration RPG (ish) with RTS (ish) and it succeeded, even if there are quite a few "quirks" (which are nowhere near bad enough to significantly detract from the experience). There is quite a lot of game play area (did I mention how big it is yet?!), lots of game mechanics, research mechanics, skill mechanics, resources, building, group-fights and so on, and these mechanics neatly dovetail with each other so that to do some you need to do others - for example, to do research beyond a certain point you need to explore the more dangerous parts of the game area for "research books", which in turn means you need to improve the fighting skills of some characters to survive in those places and the crafting skills of others to provide them with good enough gear. If you, like me, are the kind of gamer that fits the "Explorer" profile, you should get this game: it really packs tons of things to explore, from the game play area, to game mechanics, skill trees (in crafting and fighting, including a whole separate fighting mechanic of Martial Arts), research tree, buildings, unique bosses, faction politics and so on. Yes, is has several silly bugs, but this a grand game project that succeds in spite of them and well worth it to get.

One of the hardest games I've played, but 1000% worth it. It's a huge open world that doesn't care about coddling you, but you can always pick yourself up and keep exploring. Took my one character and eventually managed to build up a giant base, and I've still probably only seen 10% of what the game has to offer. Only downside is the core processing engine of the game is a bit janky, so loading times can be pretty long, even with a decently powerful rig.

$20 isn't a lot, but even with the sale it's still not worth it. Everything in this game is made to force you into playing a certain way that the developers want to see. It's like a pseudo open-world game, where everything that the devs don't like is promised but not well implemented, or implemented in a way that punishes you. Even the economics are rigged to make this happen: products are worth less than the resources used to make them. That's anti-immersive and just makes no sense. Not even the most feudal economy could exist on that premise. I can't help but feel like this game is meant to appeal to people who need a way to compensate for their lack of achievements in real life by investing waaaaay too much time into an experience that isn't that amazing after all.

An extense world, full of lore, cool characters and A LOT of freedom of what you can do, with a exceptional background music. Well the good and bad things on the game: 1 - Freedom: You have no advantage over the NPC's neither deisvantagem, buid a shob, be a bandit, miner, explore, become a farmer, hunt ancient tec, fight you your fist, a thin can oy a giant sword, your choices. 2 - Rich Lore - If you donk likt to learn about the game lore, fine but if you want unterstand, pay atention to the details, you have books, NPC's talking and your squadron talking about their past, if you want it have a lot of the past of kenshi to explore. 3 Music and sound - Immersive sound and music, just great and not annoying in long term. *4 - Character Progression: As you run, beat bandit, the bandits beat you,, swin of study, the body of your character change, if you become stronger the muscles grow, marcial arts make it more clear, study made it less appealing, it quite unique to the game, and possibilite an really immersive roleplay! 5 Difficuty : Can be good or bad, well it not easy, you can for exemple lose an arm or leg, and it become an burden in the moment but turn into a advantage later with an robotic arm/leg! Take care! 6 Stable - The game is stable, and easy to put mods and made it work. Not the bad sides: 1 - Old engine: The game is made using an old engine, so not take a good advantage from many cores of modern computer and limit some aspects of the game (even with some work arounds). 2 - Performance: Not too bad (windows and to run on linux), but can be better. There are great mods to fix it but not relevant to be detailed in this review. Well, It an immersive and great universe, you can feel how the devs care about the game, and the community too, the game still have fix and improvments, and it are made with caution to not break the mods, even if the vanilla game work well. One of my favourite games.
