RimWorld is a deep, addictive and always surprising strategy game appearing in 2018 for PC, now ported to consoles by Double Eleven.
Jonsku of Netto's Game Room reviews the "Story and Warcrime Simulator" game RimWorld for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox.
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.
