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,...

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.

wonderful game, always has more

i have around 260 hours in the game now and i just recently got back into it and its still just as wonderful as i remember, my characters tend to somehow become master assassins every single time i try to play, i also end up being a plague to every city i stay in because i steal every single valuable they own.I'm slightly ashamed to say that i honestly don't know much about kenshi lore even after all this time, i could tell you some of the greatest places to grind stats and how to cheese your way out of just about anything, even if your legs get horrifically damaged and you find yourself tied to a fogman pole being eaten alive, i can get out of it with a little assassination, i can escape being chased by 6 beak things who are far far faster and far stronger than me. But despite knowing all of this, i came back and almost everything i found i knew nothing about. There is so much to explore, the kenshi map is around 300 miles long and 250 miles wide. It is absolutely massive, and despite the fact that on one of my playthroughs i had 5 characters running around the map for days and i still haven't explored most of it. I still don't know where most of the legendary meitou weapons are, i still haven't conquered most of the bandit bases, hell I've still never had a party strong enough to fight a city, although i got close once. (TLDR) Basically what i'm trying to say, is that the game always has more to offer. If your computer can handle it playing on high graphics is a wonderful experience, watching your character sprint through a beautiful world of suffering is a great feeling. Kenshi is undoubtedly a game of suffering, everyone but the top suffer (especially shopkeepers around me) and few suffer more than you, however that suffering is the only way to get stronger, and maybe one day when I, or you, suffer enough and train enough and become strong and knowledge enough. We can create an oasis, where the suffering ends.

is good

I bought this game twice and have and will still use both versions... because it's that kinda game. My new Morrowind, if you will. One I will likely be playing off and on for 20ish years. So yeah, get it!
