RimWorld for PC is a strategy game about managing an extraterrestrial colony, the debut production of the independent studio Luedon. Its lead designer is Tynan Sylvester, who worked at Irrational Games studio on games such as Bioshock: Infinite.

Plot

The story of RimWorld takes place in the distant future, in which humanity colonized countless alien systems. Unfortunately, this did not go together with the invention of a faster-than-light travel system, meaning that every colony is practically isolated and left to their own fate. Players take command over a small group of survivors of a colony space ship that crashed on an uncharted planet. This means we get random engers, and not trained specialists.

GideonsGaming: by Joseph Pugh

It's entirely worthwhile to learn and navigate the games clunky interface to access the garden of Eden underneath. RimWorld is an experience that is rarely replicated in gaming and one worth every penny that it asks.

Full Review

GRYOnline.pl: 9.5 / 10 by Sebastian Purtak

Some minor flaws turn RimWorld into a slightly flawed diamond. It is a truly unique game, one that appears every few years. I have been following RimWorld's development from the beginning, and every session with this game was superb. The same comment applies now.
