Good old Kenshi, I started playing this when the developer released his new ' combat simulator idea' on Desura years ago.. In that time I've watched the game slowly become what it is today, and I am sure it will continue to grow. It has been stated before that this is no ordinary game, no ordinary survival simulator.. Once you 'sort of' get used to the way the game flows, you'll be right mate! .. well not really as the game does what it wants.. the AI is quite good. Yes the graphics are not the best in the world I could entice you into loving the game with wonderful stories of pain and heartache and survival, but I'll just give you a quick scenario. You are alone in the wilderness with a couple of friends, you are hungry, you have crappy weapons and not much medicine. You come across a group of Manhunters looking for potential slaves to sell. They don't care who, they just need slaves. One shout's, "Hey Maybe we'll get a good price for this one" and they attack you. Five against three. The battle rages, your two mates go down but take three of the Manhunters with them, thank the gods these guys are not 'too' tough compared to you. But unfortunately you are cut down, bleeding and unconscious you await your characters fate. But out of the blue comes a trade caravan, who just happened to be in good relations with you (this takes time) , before the Manhunters can pick you up and run off with you after they heal their mates, the caravan soldiers jump into action and defend you and your crew. One of them patches you up and the others your followers. As you wake up you realise that the Manhunters are down and have not been healed .. one is dying. You have a choice to make, decrease relations with the Manhunter Faction and loot them and leave them to die or patch them up and hope to improve relations with the faction , increasing the possibility of not being attacked 'as much' by these guys again.. In Kenshi you have a choice, and consequences.
I originally bought this game during the "Shawn Murry" will deliver hype, then like thousands of others I rejected the game, thank god there was no refund policy back then. Now in 2018 with the "NEXT" update this game is way more fun , more diversity , more depth. I'm not one of your big worded, opinionated brainy guys, I'm just a 45 guy who loves game and has been playing them since 'pong' No Man's Sky is everything I have always wanted in a space game, of course there is always room for imporvement , new mechanics, new ships, new races.. blah blah blah.. but hell I just LOVE playing this game. Would go through the hype again no problem 9/10
