Norland vs Clanfolk vs Rimworld

[Chronacus]

Rimworld is probably one of my top 5 favorite games ever, possibly my favorite. How do these compare? Are they different enough or is it redundant. My instinct is to own all 3, but I'd love to hear from those that have already tried them and can give some feedback.

Norland seems like it would be a bit different experience than Rimworld, but Clanfolk seems very similar to Rimworld. How does Norland and Clanfolk compare?

It's not all that comparable to RW, this game is more about management than construction, other than optional crisis threats are rarely generated, there are some bandit camps spawning, but they aren't a real threat, the real armies that may or may not attack you all come from actual kingdoms neighboring your lands, so in theory you could avoid most combat by doing well diplomatically.

The game focuses way more on the strategic map, sending your nobles to deal with foreign kingdoms, sign contracts, pacts, and leading armies than staying inside at your base, reallistically you'll just need a few nobles handling domestic tasks, research, education and sharing knowledge while others, specially in the late game, are often out doing stuff.

This is more of the Crusader Kings where you manage dynasty and relationship between other kingdoms.

Clanfolk has no battle or raid and it quickly feel like puzzle instead of survival, there's no randomness or threat, the only threat is your lack of knowledge of certain number and value.

For now the problem of Norland for me is the pattern and path is too clear and everything feels like completing and walked path, there's not much strategy here.

Rimworld is certainly great and all the stuff but it's old and already played out.

They re all totally different games.
