A few weeks ago I started playing Rimworld, a nice little indie game, where you have to take care of some space travelers who crashed on an alien planet. The world is not that alien to be honest, you have rats, squirrels, bunnies and trees, but there are some specialities like megasloths and all the futuristic gear that you can find and later create yourself.
The game reminds me of an old beloved classic: The Settlers. The way you have to manage all the little economies like food and resource gathering are quite similar. The big difference tho is the difficulty: If you have wounded settlers and no medicine, they die; if you have no food your villager are gonna become aggressive and maybe even eat each other; if your settlement is not pretty enough and doesn't offer recreational activity, your people will become moody and throw all kinds of tantrums. Add reoccuring raids, packs of manhunting animals and climate disasters and you got yourself a really hard game. I had to restart my colony three times to have a somewhat successful one.
Even now I have to load a lot. In the screenshot above you see one of colonists died again... Sometimes that can be frustrating, but all in all I am really having fun with the game at the moment and if you are looking for something fresh and challenging this game is for you!
