What the game lacks in animation and graphics it is very clearly put into things like temperature systems, full body health systems with different body parts and just plain character diversity. There is no animation for putting on a suit of armor, just a timer bar. One nudge of the colonist is the same action for slicing someone’s head off with a longsword and chipping away at a piece of ore in a mountain. In fact it has very few animations at all. The game does not feature start of the art textures and animations. Violence, Diplomacy, Monkeys and everything in between Though Rimworld is a single player game, if you must commit war crimes, why not do so with a friend with this multiplayer mod. When it does seem repetitive, there is an incredibly active modding scene. Having spent over 400hours in the game myself (and counting), every playthrough is unique. The real magic is the stories you have along the way, the marriages, the Pyromaniac builder who created a Masterwork Royal Bed only to burn it down 2 days later because god forbid he ate a meal without sitting at a table. Maybe you will burrow into the side of the mountain for shelter but beware what could be lurking deep within….The end goal of Rimworld is to research your way up the tech tree and build a spaceship with which you can escape the Rimworld. Will you build a quick, yet flammable base from wood? Perhaps you will take an existing ruin on the map and make a home from it. You are then put onto a game map where you collect resources and build some shelter for your starting colonists. Anything can, and will happen With Randy. Maybe he will drop packages of chocolate or literal gold on your colony, maybe your favorite Husky will be attacked and eaten by a Grizzly bear. The thing about Randy Random is that anything, good, bad or just plain unfair could happen throughout the game. This is going to be easier than Cassandra, with more of a focus on base-building. The second storyteller setting is Phoebe Chill-axe. As the days go on the difficulty curve goes up and up, meaning tougher raids, harder events and more challenges.

Will you be a generous leader, capturing prisoners only to release them when you feel their time is served, raising relationship levels with otherwise unfriendly factions? Or maybe those kidneys will sell for a good price on the market…. Wow this couch is awful comfy, is that a freckle on my armrest?
