Regular updates even if they are spaced out pretty far. Very enjoyable gameplay loop, a sandbox game that doesn't just give you everything. Lots of discovery, and don't be afraid to bring your IRL physics knowledge. it works pretty well in this game.

Palworld got Nintendo quaking. This game is such an amazing take on Pokemon its crazy. Everyone says this game is ARK Survival Evolved with Pokemon, and thats pretty accurate. The game is also still in Early Access, but for what is right now its amazing. Worth every penny of 30$ easily

Great music, great idea, great execution. Just not enough content yet, but what's there is more than worth the asking price. 10/10 no complaints.

10$ to play with 3 other friends and lose entire days to laughter and screams. Even if you're not big into horror games, the jump scares aren't too bad and just serve to make everyone else laugh. Very difficult to have a bad time with this game. Definitely would be a scarier game without friends. Highly recommend for groups of 3+, 2 might be fun. 1 would be rough.

Literally crack in video game form.

One of the best games of all time honestly. Great replayability, great fun with friends, great fun without friends. Just great fun. 10/10

why rimworld good? rimworld good because rimworld good. you want reason, you buy and find out. trust. much good. so wow.


Edit: its been 4 years since I wrote this review. I decided it was time to say "why rimworld good".

#1 is the replay-ability. I have nearly 1400 hours in this wonderful game at this point, and I haven't done everything you can. The way you play is entirely up to you, in way that I haven't seen in any other game. Fallout New Vegas is the closest to this level of freedom, but even Fallout won't make you feel like your decisions matter as much as Rimworld will.

#2 is the mod-ability. This game's mod support is legendary, an example to follow for all games, indie or AAA. You like having uber-cyborg colonists? go download a mod that expands the prosthesis in the game. You like the psycast magic system but don't like how difficult it is to get the exact psycast you want? Download a mod that lets you choose which one you get with each level, and even adds skill trees for specializing the kind of psycaster you want! Hate the RNG-ness of the combat system? There's a mod that totally overhauls it with realistic gun stats.

#3 is the dev's love shining through in every aspect of the game. This game is fully procedural, however because of the sheer beauty of its game design choices you WILL care deeply about the colonists you manage. Losing one of your original colonists will feel like losing a friend. Losing a fresh recruit feels like missing a connection, thinking of what could have been. You will feel rage at the people who raid you, especially if you're a peace loving colony. The game is very easy to immerse yourself in, even with the emotionally disconnected view that you see the game from.

#4 is an extension of 3. This game is in active development. Its a finished game as it is, however the developer continues to supply free updates and releases DLC that may seem expensive for an indie game, until you realize that each DLC changes the game COMPLETELY to make it feel fresh all over again. Every time I feel burnout on Rimworld, I just wait til the next DLC, and playing the game with a new DLC feels like playing the game for the first time again. I've never had that with any other game.

The summary is, rimworld good because rimworld good. review TLDR? go buy game. you see rimworld good. big trust. much wow

Very difficult game. Came a long ways from early access. The more you learn, the longer you survive. Feels very rewarding to progress.

Great game with lots of eldritch themes and cool skill trees. Good time burner

Pretty good game. I enslave people for fun. 10/10 would recommend
