    After 500+ hours with this during early access and the beta versions, this is about the best $30 I’ve ever spent. If you want a truly landmark game that can run on almost any computer and provides a nearly limitless amount of entertainment, you don't need me to tell you to pick this one up. Congrats to Tynan (the main dev) and the rest at Ludeon!

    100% worth the money. You'll easily get 200+ hours of gameplay. Also, it has a huge modding community.

    The biggest con is gameplay takes a while one year is about 16 hours and the graphics are quite bad.

    A fantastic game with beautiful combination of strategy and management. Modding makes it nearing perfection. Do not be turned away by the graphics. This game has so much depth that it makes you dream about it in your sleep. Tynan, thank you for this masterpiece.

    Game is crazy addicting. It's like a Sims but for action survival genre. All meticulous little details may seem to some as little bit over the board. But the payoff is amazing seeing your colonist survive in winter or extreme desert..

    The Soundtrack is fantastic, Aiistair Lindsay did a great job bringing an atmospheric sound track that has gone longer than any game I've ever played without being turned off. Even Elder Scrolls games have worn on me.

    The Graphics are functional.

    A bit of frustration with the game for most players will be the interface and learning curve. You don't really tell your pawns to do things in a direct manner. Instead you set tasks, priorities, bills, and other things and allow it to auto-run. It is possible to micromanage every task, but that would get daunting quickly. It is worth running through the tutorial for the basic idea, if you get stuck there are a lot of channels on Youtube with some guidance. I will admit though the game does have some issues with conveyance.

    There is no real story for the game, instead the events, pawn interactions, and goals of your colony really dictate the story that happens for each and every time you start a new colony.

    The mods for the game aren't really something I like to count for or against a game. It isn't often a game does a good enough job with mods to make the experience change entirely. Rimworld is one of those games, the community has made a lot of interesting and game changing mods.

    Overall I strongly recommend this game to people who like city/colony simulators.    … Expand

    I have ~322 hours paying this game, and I've been playing for many years in the "pre-alpha". To be perfectly honest, this never felt like an alpha game. This is an incredible, in-depth "build-your-own-story" colony simulator. The game only "released" about a month ago, but it's felt like a full-featured, rich experience for many years before releasing.

This is an incredible, in-depth "build-your-own-story" colony simulator. The game only "released" about a month ago, but it's felt like a full-featured, rich experience for many years before releasing. There's so much to enjoy about this game that I struggle to find where to start.

    + Randomly generated worlds (yes, there is an entire world to explore)
    + Randomly generated maps (this is the map that you control your colonists, whether in your colony, in random encounters in the world, or even other settlements)
    + Rich colonist biographies/stats, with each attribute being important in it's own respect
    + In depth colony management system; fairly easy to navigate/understand, difficult to master!
    + Interesting colony community, colonists interact with each other in positive and negative ways. Some colonists fall in love, others form rivalries, sometimes getting in fights to the death. This leads to unparalleled role-playing and story-building, that is fresh every time you play the game.
    + Lots of difficulty options, from standard "easy, medium, hard" to different "game masters", which dictate how your game progresses.
    + Randomized events, which can have a positive or negative effect on your colony

    The only gripe I can think of with regards to this game is the fact that you can't form more than one colony at a time. I understand why though, so it's not necessarily a fault with the game. How would the game manage time progression in one colony while you're managing another colony? Not a trivial thing to manage/program.

    So if that is the only thing I can think of that is a "downside" to this game, then what we have is a pretty much flawless game. I'm not kidding when I say that. You compare this with any AAA game and you see that there has been so much care put in to developing every aspect of this game (and to be clear, I believe this game was developed by ONE GUY for most of the 5 years in pre-alpha; can you believe that?).

    I'll finish this off with a recent story from my most recent game. The colony of three was just established, and we had minimal resources and were in the process of becoming fully sustainable. Suddenly, we get a report that there is an incapacitated colonist that needs rescuing, which happens to be the father of one of the colonists, Veronika. Even though we have minimal supplies, we can't just leave him. So Veronika embarks on a journey to go save him. With just enough supplies to get there and back, she successfully reaches her father, Francis, only to find that he's unable to walk. Veronika picks Francis up and begins the journey home. About half a day into the trek, with the extra weight of carrying Francis, she notices her supplies won't last both of them. She was left with the choice, try to continue to carry her father home, with a risk of them both starving, or leaving him behind, all but guaranteed to die alone. It was at this point when I thought of what the father most be saying. "Veronika, it makes me so happy to see that you came to save me. You've grown into a fine woman, and I couldn't be more proud of you. But, we both know that we won't make it home at this rate. We both know what needs to be done. Leave me here with my thoughts, and go live your life." Reluctantly with a tear in her eye, she sits him up against a rock, gives him a big hug and says her goodbyes. The entire colony gets a boost to mood for saving a colonist, but gets a negative mood boost for leaving him behind. Veronika is the most affected by this, getting "my father died" negative mood boost. All of this affected how the colonists interacted with one another, leading to some "rebuffs" to even some fighting. At the end of the day, this ended up strengthening the friendship with one of the colonists and creating a rivalry with the other. This was just one example of a random event that can enrich your experience playing this game, and these events are plentiful.

    So if you are in to the colony-building RPG-style game, I cannot recommend this game enough. It's a steal for $30, honestly. This game should be $60 if that's what bigger companies are charging for their buggy game with minimal replayabiity at launch and "optional" DLC that you have to pay for. Do yourself a favor and support this game and its developers!    … Expand

    Rimworld came into my world out of nowhere. I bought the game on a whim, launched it, and a few moments later it began telling me its first story. The story of Chi:

    Chi is ugly as ****, so he saved up what he could and went for plastic surgery… That was the last thing he remembered, when he woke up below the remnants of his escape pod on an unknown distant planet - bruised, naked and    Rimworld came into my world out of nowhere. I bought the game on a whim, launched it, and a few moments later it began telling me its first story. The story of Chi:

    Chi is ugly as ****, so he saved up what he could and went for plastic surgery…
    That was the last thing he remembered, when he woke up below the remnants of his escape pod on an unknown distant planet - bruised, naked and covered in slime. Bummer. And he was still ugly as ****. Bummer. Bummer!
    Chi doesn't give up easily, though. He is not a whimp, so he built himself a home from nothing.
    In a year he went from sleeping on the cold hard ground, picking berries and chewing on raw rat meat to having a real kitchen (with a fridge!), a comfy bed and heater to warm him during the cold winter nights.
    He even made an acquaintance, a friend (kind of). The acquaintance was an actor named Tom. Tom came screaming into Chi's life, fleeing the club wielding maniac who was close behind him. Chi and Tom somehow managed to survive the fight against the aggressor, and Tom chose to stay in Chi's crib (although he didn’t like Chi, because he really IS ugly as ****).
    Another year went by, and Chi and Tom managed to get along. This was probably because Chi is a night owl who enjoys sleeping during the day and working in the moonlight. They only crossed each other during breakfast/dinner.
    Everything was… well, not peaceful, but at least without events such as starvation, disease or violent murder… for a while.
    Until the day, they received a message, telling them that Chi's sister had somehow arrived on the same planet and was now being held captive by a group not too dissimilar to Chi and Tom.
    They gathered their best (awful) weapons and went on a journey to save the poor girl (who was also ugly as ****).
    The mission turned out to be slightly more challenging than anticipated.
    Two bandits had locked Chi's sister up in a small shed, so far, so good... but the place was defended by gun turrets and bloody mortar fire!
    Chi and Tom only had a spiked club and an old six shooter, but as I said - Chi doesn't give up easily.!
    He ordered Tom to shoot at the solar panel, which provided power to the gun turrets, while Chi himself started running.
    Chi dodged whistling bullets and flying shrapnel from mortar explosions as he screamed for death and revenge.
    Somehow, he didn't die.
    Chi's sister was saved.
    Tom was blown to bits by mortar shells.
    They buried Tom next to the solar panel.
    Brother and sister went back to Chi's little hideout and lived on a little while longer…

    Rimworld is a storyteller. Rimworld is an absolutely awesome game, because Rimworld is FUN! Rimworld is ugly as ****, but somehow this makes everything exactly right. It underlines the fact that it is all about the story and the gameplay – most of all the story. Rimworld is hard and unforgiving. Rimworld is stealing my sleep. Rimworld is never leaving my hard disk…    … Expand

    Easily a 10. This game has been in development, alpha and beta versions for so long it's unbelievable, and even the early versions were quite fun. It's a huge game and a gigantic open world but while it feels intimidating at first, it's actually very intuitive and enjoyable. It's an excellent example of how you can have a great game even without fancy graphics. Also it's addicting as hell.

    Fair warning, like many reviewers before me, I've sunk far too many hours into this game to give a unbiased review.

I discovered this game back when it was around A12 (Alpha 12, before the game was available on Steam) and when it was still quite early in development. Being a Dwarven Fortress enthusiast, I enjoyed the first experience of a more casual colony management game. Even back then the amount of individual story you could create amongst your colonists was quite interesting, you could see a colony rise and fall, each and every event adding a unique and individual twist on the game that adds a massive amount of replay value.

    As time progressed and the game picked up interest and grew (the modding scene is quite active. Not quite near Bethesda levels of modding scene, but it doesn't need to be. It's also heavily supported by the creator of Rimworld and a lot of mods made it into the full release), the game grew along with it. Each and every update was a true addition to the game. It expanded the possibilities, the story, the scope of the game.

    I could go on and on about this game and turn this entire review into a love letter to Tynan Sylvester (and the crew that came onboard), but honestly, you should just pick it up and play it. It's relatively cheap, it runs on every potato imaginable (thanks to the adequate graphics, which is the only thing that could really turn a person off if you're all about high fidelity) and the replay value as well as unique storytelling keeps you coming back for.... well, in my case, well over 800 hours.    … Expand

Want to live off plants alone in a vegetarian society? Sure. Want to create a medical colony that heals their allies with the organs of unfortunate raiders? Why not! The scenarios this game creates are frankly the best part of it.

    It is not a great looking game to be fair. A grey block interface, blob pawns and rather basic sprites don't seem that appealing on the surface, but it is clear the devs were putting the work into where it was needed and that is entirely the mechanics and other features. On top of the main game it has been very well optimised for mods meaning that even if you get bored of the standard gameplay there is a wide variety of community made expansions to help expand gameplay further.

    One of the best modern indie PC games, simply amazing!

    Tons of depth, great gameplay, immense replay value and TONS of user made mods on the steam workshop. Check this game out asap!

    It's like a dumbed down version of dwarf fortress, still very fun to play.

    RNG can screw you over, or you can just set it so that you can peacefully build all you want. It's entirely up to you.

    Think "city" builder with a bit of real time tactical combat thrown in.

    Had zero crashes despite running 50+ mods in my latest game. Very stable.

    Infinite variation, easy to pick up, impossible to master, creates a story that is different every time and draws you in. Just what you need in a strategy game. This is gameplay. This is not pretty. You will not care that it is not pretty (though I deducted a point for a few clunky UI/UX).

    Story telling? Just a very basic game that requires a lot of imagination for a story. Would maybe have been great in 1999, but this is not enjoyable for me today

    A simply amazing game. No play-through is the same. Each colonist is unique, and you'll invariably develop very strong feelings for them, because they have more personality than most fully-fledged fictional characters despite being rudimentary limb-less blobs.

    You can see an entire society rise and fall, see people help each other, struggle to survive natural disasters, defend themselves from attackers, fight each other, fall in love, break up, die a tragic death from an infected squirrel bite because all the medicine was used up in a malaria plague, chill out smoking joints, grow old, develop cancer, go insane. You can decide to help everyone escape the planet on a spaceship, or their settlement a permanent home. Or pack up everything for a long trek in a quest to find greener pastures on another part of the globe. Or simply turn them into marauding bandits.

    You can see a three man colony become a huge 50 person settlement with industrial production methods, then see it all collapse under the weight of its own complexity.

    I like this type of game but just couldn't get into it, I think because of the juvenile and unappealing graphics. I wish someone could come up with a graphics mod I like, because I still think that underneath the surface is a good game. Switched to Dwarf Fortress instead.

To give example to the last point: a shoot-out occurred when raiders breached my colony's kitchen. Failure to clean up the corpses and blood caused my chef's food to become unsanitary, causing food poisoning. Wow.

    I do think that there are some flaws- I don't think the game is a perfect 10/10 for me. Some design choices are odd, like the "taint" mechanic which heavily discourages looting apparel from enemies, no ability to repair armor and weapons, and the decision to exclude water mechanics, such as thirst, bladder and hygiene. Fortunately, there are mods created by the community to fix these issues, but I am personally in the camp that developers should not rely on these generous souls to prop up their games.

    Another issue that is very dependent on the individual player's likes/dislikes/tolerance: the game is not visually beautiful. It is simplistic 2-D art that more-or-less delivers it's core meaning. When you see a chair, there is little doubt that it is a chair. However, some players may find Rimworld not attractive enough to satisfy their bionic ocular implants.

    Closing words: At $30.00, this game is a must-buy if you enjoy this particular genre. Any percentage of discount would be icing on the cake. Lastly, the Steam Workshop is mandatory- shop around to add some much needed content that was left out of the game. It's that little bit extra that makes the game really great.    … Expand

I honestly think the enormous success of RimWorld relies on two things, more than on its own merits:

    1) an extremely dedicated, and actually somewhat fanatic, community, which made it kinda of a cult item.
    2) Mods

    Now, mods are very nice but a game should be judged by its own merits. If RimWorld was sold as a pack of developer tools, then fine, but it's sold a stand-alone game and so mods should be excluded from the evaluation. So, what is it? A colony management game with some clever ideas, a detailed character system, random events adding some spice. And then the bads: terrible AI forcing the player into extreme micromanagement and an overall lack of content (as I said, in the base game), even if compared with other indie games. Also, very clunky interface.

    People will tell you this is a "story generator". Beyond the fancy words, it just means the game gives you random events, interacting with your colony and characters, and you make up a story from them. Yeah, kinda like The Sims. It's nothing extremely innovative or surprising. As I said, a lot of people seem to just venerate this game for reasons I don't really understand, and I think it's just one of those cases of perfectly normal products getting a cult following that reinforces itself over time.

    Now, I would have given the game 6 or even 7 if it wasn't for one terrible decision: the game never goes on sale. The Epic coupon was just there for every game on the store, but RimWorld itself is always full priced. And we're talking an old game here (alpha was in 2013). This is extremely anti-consumer and if a mentality like this was to spread PC gaming would go downhill in the blink of an eye: many people, especially young people and folks from poorer countries, would be cut off from the hobby; and the market would concentrate around few extensively-covered, hyped games, because nobody could discover hidden gems during sales, kinda likes console market was years ago. This really shouldn't be supported and I will never buy something from this dev again.

    It's also ridiculous if you think you can get four or five more recent AAA great games, on sale, for the fixed RimWorld price. Right now, XCOM 2 is 3 euros on Steam. Do I need to tell you how much better XCOM is? Really, if you look at the market, you realize that wanting to sell at full price an indie game almost 10 years old with little production value in it (there are no animations, no effects, sounds and graphics are even below indie average) is just arrogance and insulting to customers and other devs.    … Expand

The random story teller aspect of the game is probably the weakest point of the game, in more detail I mean how the game scales difficulty to perceived "wealth" of your colony. It's very easy on harder settings to get a RNG item early from a event or whatever and all of a sudden instead of your 4 colonists fighting a few pirates with pistols the game throws mech swarms at you with little to no static defenses or ability to actually survive this. I wish the game had a more "gentle" arc of difficulty and events didn't scale solely with wealth of the colony.

The best words I can use to bring the true quality of this game into perspective is that it is a Landmark on the base building/survival/simulation genre. It is a damn near master piece that will be looked back upon for generations and will serve as a past example of greatness for many future game developers. Or at least... it should be. It's not exactly popular amongst the simulation community, even if it is ranked as one of the highest rating simulation games on steam. I don't hear much discussion of it and I know this is a monumental long shot but it wasn't even a nominee for any awards in the game awards. And it could easily fit into many of the different possible awards, such as independent game, fresh indie game, strategy game, and community support (the games modding community is incredible, but that's a whole other 10 page long essay). But it makes sense because that's the scale this game is on. Its so good it rivals many of the big shot triple A strategy games being made present day, and that's when the game is at its worst. At its best the game is untouchable and is absolutely unrivaled to anything that has ever come and will ever come. Ok that may be a bit of an exaggeration but you get the idea. The games good. Go get it. Its fun and interesting and it contains hundreds of hours of entertainment.… Expand

    Great colony sim with good controls and UI, which is where most of these type of games seem to faulter. A lot of content and it is easy to get immersed in the world. Not as addicitng as I though it would be fro some reason, it feels like there is something missing to hook the player more. Though that might just be me. The price is also a little steep.

    Great game.

    You are the planer for a small colony of people. Manage their needs an wants, while defending the colony from murderus raiders and hungry spacemonsters. All while researching new equipment and gimmicks for your colony. In short: Its a building simulation that will keep you entertained for many many hours. It has a solid foundation and the many many mods make it even    Great game.

    It has a solid foundation and the many many mods make it even better and will keep you entertained for many more hours.

    The only game in the genre i can think off, that is deeper might be dwarf fortress, which was obviously a heavy inspiration. that being said, while in comparison, rimworld might not have as much freedom, it does run better for a way longer time and you do not need to fear fps deaths.

    So ultimate score would be 9, the only thing that could be done better is more gimmicks.    … Expand

    A masterpiece colony simulator. The game is highly replayable thanks to the thousands of aspects and minutiae, increased by the expansions. The Biotech expansion covers the genetics aspects of characters, Ideology covers religion and rituals, and Royalty covers relationships and hierarchy system. Maybe the only issue is the lack of achievements.

    This is without a doubt THE BEST game I have ever played, ever. Tons and tons of replayability, overwhelming charm, keeping you in your toes time after time again. It’s just perfect to me. I even find myself growing affection for my colony the longer that they last, striving to see them survive and feeling genuine dread once I lose a long time buddy. Ten out of ten, ten out of ten. Ten.This is without a doubt THE BEST game I have ever played, ever. Tons and tons of replayability, overwhelming charm, keeping you in your toes time after time again. It’s just perfect to me.

    The diversity of environments significantly enriches the game and challenges experienced players in new conditions every time. It’s a hellishly good game – for me an addiction that makes me go back to it and reach for more and more. [13/2018, p.84]

    A satisfying colony-building sandbox with a lot of replayability that suffers from a lack of polish in the UI. A great aesthetic and quirky sci-fi take on the genre mean there is a lot to like here, it just takes a little digging to get there.

    An imaginative management game but a weak story generator.
