I own this game on Steam and have enjoyed it quite a lot. You have to go into this game understanding the direction the developer is trying to take it. There is still a lot that is unfinished and unpolished, but the core of the game is rather satisfying. The greatest strength here is the very deliberate and well-thought-out gameplay loop. This game suffers from only being worked on by a single dude; I feel like a game like this needs a full staff of devs. There are some mods on the nexus, so that is good.
I have played for hundreds of hours on Steam; only discovering this game about two years ago. I have been playing role playing games for the better part of 25 years now and have to say that what Kenshi offers is like nothing else you have played. The vastness of the game world, the free-form building of individual characters, and the freedom to interact with NPCs and towns as you see fit all contribute to a unique role playing experience that can fully immerse a player who is capable of getting pats Kenshi's flaws. The flaws being: buggy game engine, dated graphics, and optimization issues. The modding community orbiting around this game is phenomenal, and have added some amazing content and fixes over the years. TL;DR: If you can get past the bugs, dated graphics, enjoy totally immersive environments and soul-crushing difficulty, you have a masterpiece in your hands with Kenshi.
