"I honestly didn’t know what to expect from RimWorld when I downloaded it over the weekend. It was a new release with overwhelmingly positive reviews, some of which being extremely funny. I thought to myself, no way is that really what the game is like, you just made that up, before ultimately purchasing the title to find out for myself.
And let me tell you friends, it was exactly what the game was like. Instead of a normal review here, I’m going to tell you about my first experience with RimWorld and let you be the judge when it comes down to a purchasing decision."
RimWorld is a deep, addictive and always surprising strategy game appearing in 2018 for PC, now ported to consoles by Double Eleven.
Your colonists are not professional settlers – they’re crash-landed survivors from a passenger liner destroyed in orbit. You can end up with a nobleman, an accountant, and a housewife. You’ll acquire more colonists by capturing them in combat and turning them to your side. So your colony will always be a motley crew.
If you're looking for a game that breaks expectations in terms of depth and discovery, RimWorld Console Edition will sate that storytelling hunger.
I went ahead and got this game, and three hours in and there’s nothing happening. It’s just the same three starting characters mining and trying to plant rice before it eventually gets blight and I have to cut it all down. I’m clearly missing something. And research takes forever. Three hours of one colonist dedicated solely to research and it’s maybe 13% done
