This game worth the money?

[ChrisPChicken]

Just wanted to see from this community how good of a game RimWorld actually is, been eyeing this game for over a week and not sure if its worth the money! help convince me please and thank you!

Well worth the money. It has everything you could ever want in a video game, and stuff you couldn't have even imagined.

I'll give an example:

One of my colonist had a nervous breakdown (mood debuff), went out and dug up the corpse of a random pawn that tried to raid our compound, and just carried it around like a stuffed animal

Then I had 2 colonists who were lovers, and one of the colonist dumped her for another and she got all stabby and killed him.

I mean what other game has THAT?

That one is less of a game and more of a windows command prompt simulator with all the learning needed to understand the basics + the ascii "graphics"

Just yesterday I had a case where I've sent a rescue team to save an unknown woman stranded somewhere in the while... Later i've found out that she was ex to one of my guys, who was now married with a woman from colony. So, right after she left hospital bed she had a social fight with the guy and both have landed in hospital. When they regained conciousness they went on fighting in hospital... so I'm already working on creating separate rooms in my hospital. But not sure whether this really helps ;-P. I wondering if the "third one", actually current wife, joins the fighting at some point or not ;-P

Not really, DF doesn't focus on the characters as much.

More of a Linux terminal simulator, as in you can actually play it in a terminal with ncurses text output on Linux.

I'm gonna say a bold ultimate Truth: Rimworld is 10/10

Many games are worth, ok, etc... but rimworld isn't even on the same scale...

Rimworld:
- isn't a prototype sold as a full-game with missing features or buggy mechanics
- isn't a cash grab micro transaction piece of ♥♥♥♥.
- is made with passion and deep respect for customers

- gameplay is great, the adventure is epic, replay ability is core to this game.
- you don't need to finish the game, just surviving/thriving is fulfilling.

You wont regret the purchase, it will most likely be one 'o' your best purchase, in that list for sure.

EDIT: typos..
and thanks for sps

"Oh no, games that I can't point and click to play are too complicated!"

Or a big part of them is battling their UI. Key based UIs can even be a lot faster than click based ones, but DF is still known as needing a few hours of learning just to be able to play the game. That is definitely not fun for many people. The new UI as more in line with people are used to though, but it's still pretty complicated in comparison to many other games.

DF is really interesting both as a simulation and to show what humans can achieve given enough time, skill and passion, but Rimworld is definitely closer to a known gaming experience.

If a game requires me to spend hours to learn the basics then it's simply not worth my time when I have better looking games with a much smoother learning curve, such as rimworld.

This game is a million games in one. You can do a lot with it, thanks to mods.

watch the average play time of people on this comment section if u can and you'll find the answer

The base game is overpriced for how old it is.

It's a good game and does what it does well, but it's also overrated and not for everyone.
