This is a hidden gem for most casual players. It is a well-thought game. You drive the story. Your nature will directly affect your playstyle and your character. It will be as miserable and fantastic as you are willing to be playing it. I warn you. It has a pull of a large black hole. It will keep you glued to your screen. Then, suddenly, you realize that it's morning, you are late for job/school/cult meeting and you just started to walk to a neighbouring town with your gang in Kenshi.
Just as Drakhor, I find politically motivated "one-star" reviews to be malicious, pretentious and out of place here. I'm levelling it with "five-star". Realistically it's an ok game. More variations than the previous version, but more demanding for your hardware too. I find it to be a serene game, relaxing and enjoyable.
