Update 7 March, 2020:
This game still rocks my socks off!
My two kids are 3 and (almost) 5 now, and i'm getting back more & more "me" time ;-)
The new DLC is superb and totally unexpected!
All hail Tynan! Thanks for this great gem!

Original review 8 Oct, 2017:
Simply amazing game! This game right here is what's finally gotten me emerged inside a deep gaming experience i've been looking for the last few months! As a dad of 2 little kids (daughter 2 years and a son 6 months) it is hard work and the time for games is pretty much limited to, mostly, short quick games like Rocket League. And, to be honest, with all the energy it takes to take care of these kids it was also quiet a turn-off to get involved in games that need more "thinking" or to simply "get the hang of a game"...

Anyway! To the game!

The random things, the random generating of the map and the colonists; it's just exactly right! It feels great and it gives this game so much replayability that it is almost overwhelming. Haven't been too far into the game (i mean, my colony is just about ten people or so), but my initial hours have already proven themselves!
The tutorial is great and the rest of the game just unfolds into some trial and error in a way that (mostly) motivates to restart and re-think your strategy of starting up again.

As a dad with "limited gaming" energy right now, i can recommend this! It really does take you to another Rimworld (and that's kinda what we dad's need!)
Hoping to see this title flourish into even more potential then it already has right now.

Gameplay: 10/10
Graphics: 8/10 (for a game like this, more then enough!)
Replayability: 11/10
Would become a dad again for this game (even if it's just for the proces of having kids :P)
