A personal all-time favorite
I wish more games were like Kenshi. There's not much I can add that hasn't already been said about this gem, but I'll throw in my two cents for others who might have similar taste. - It artfully blends the RTS and RPG genres like nobody's business. I've never seen anything else that has even attempted to do this. - It is a true open-world sandbox experience. Absolutely nothing is trying to bottleneck you into anything, not even questlines. Your characters can do whatever they darn well please. - The setting is wonderfully fleshed-out and interesting. But more importantly, though there is plenty of ambient lore to discover if you want to, the game NEVER forces you through any kind of story. No time-wasting cutscenes, no boring plot that the writers desperately need you to care about, no wading through fifteen pages of dialogue before you can even play. Every time you boot it up, you can jump right in. No bull. (Interestingly, this actually makes me more invested in the dialogue and worldbuilding that is there. The writing is an absolute gem. Funny, serious, intriguing, silly... it's all done so well.) - Every member of your clan is customizable, which gives the game an almost Sims-like open-ended story generator feeling. You will get very, very attached to your people... - ...And then mourn them for IRL days when the brutal difficulty, gruelingly slow progression, and your own overconfident bravado get some or all of them killed. This is one of those games where the seeming unfairness of the difficulty actually enhances the experience. You learn to love the pain. Then fifty hours in, when you finally kill your first goat without losing leg, it will feel like a true triumph for your faction. Such an emotional rollercoaster! - As a game made by mostly a single person over many years, of course there is some jank - but if you go in with the right expectations, all its little quirks are forgiveable. This beautiful timesink will stay in my top five forever.
