Rimworld is an excellent game. I believe that it is the gold-standard for colony management simulators. The core gameplay contains a lot of content, with many available high-quality mods excelling this game to massive proportions. It is VERY unforgiving, but perservering through the game's punishing modes only makes this gem shine brighter. I kickstarted this game a very long time ago, and I'm thankful for how far it's come. In my over 1000 hours of playtime, I think the one thing that sets it apart from other games in the genre is the idea that the game isn't just designed to be won, it's more of a story-telling simulator as the "story-teller ai" component of the game suggests. If you can embrace this aspect of the game, things like bugs or stupid AI turn into strange phenomonons and dumb decisions; allowing for a deep sense of immersion. All in all, if you enjoy careful expansion, harsh consequences, and a fun interactive journey, Rimworld is the game for you.
