โœ”๏ธ 100/100
This colony-sim is a story-game in disguise. I highly recommend playing on commitment mode for that so you canโ€™t play safe and reload anytime. I encountered everything from a simple mad rat biting of my ear which then gets infected and I die to a bad cook making all my pawns vomit so they couldnโ€™t get their work done and we all froze to death as soon as the winter started to a massive flesh-monster-pit opening going in mission impossible style, setting everything on fire and then, right at the end a pawn got downed. I left him behind because rescuing him would be mean sure dead for the whole squad. Then, as the massive pit started to collapse and my left behind pawn had 1h until the blood loss would kill him, I went in there, rescuing him last second just for him later to get hit by a jade-meteoroidโ€ฆ All little and huge encounters are so story and lore heavy when they truly mean something (aka perma-death). Moreover, after every few hours on a new map I still, after 700h, get so many new ideas on how and where to build next or and what ideologies to try next orโ€ฆ this game is a true gem, and I am not even counting all the workshop-items for it! THERE IS SO MUCH WORKSHOP-CONTENT! You can literally play a totally different game just with the free bonus content from other Rimworld-lovers. Amazing. Buy it. This would be the 1 game I would take to a deserted island so I can easily sink 1000h+ into it and not even remembering that I have to eat, sleep or get rescuedโ€ฆ

Early Access Review
Game was fun until patch #69 (25.10.2024).
With this patch they removed the need to loot because starter gear has same base stats.
There is little to no time for skill because fights are way too fast over.
There are no counters to common meta builds (movespeed).
There is just one meta: movespeed to get into meele, to then oneshot.

Edit: Since patch #69 they did some good thigns and again some bad things. Playerbase is imho shrinking to fast. Will wait untill next season if it is still worth. Imho they need longer fights, more skills like CC and counter CCs, more maps, more variation and better loot-progression.

Looks promising, but sadly the KI bugs out every other fight resulting in an endless loop of doing nothing and can only be fixed by reloading a save game.

โœ”๏ธ 95/100 I will wait until I can play it in 60fps on my 3070 KEKW

The most best thing, besides the main-story, is looking for secrets and reading through sidestories. I find myself sightseeing 9/10 times in this game. And most of the time I get a nice reward doing so. This game realy is for adventures and treasure hunters. Reading every note and getting to know the whys and hows of this world is a true gem too! There is SO much lore that most people will just miss if they skip the walls of texts and side missions. Even totally random criminal-events have lore and loot to find. I am now 90h in and still far away from finishing this game. The only downside is that I can't play this game on my 3070 in 60fps.... The last patch made it a little better, but I randomly get drops below 40frames and if I keep playing without restarting the game it gets worse and worse. But besides the performance I've to say: GRAFICS ARE STUNNING!!!

โœ”๏ธ 78/100
What a pleasant little winter-wonderland. Pleasant in two ways: This game is really diverse and easy to play. I would highly recommend this game to kids or parents whoโ€™re looking for games for their children. I think it is more built towards kids because for me it was a little too easy.

The story starts out slow and progresses through various stages of growing up and friendships. A nice game for a cold winter-night and a cup of warm chocolate.
