I’m 1800hrs in (with probably another couple hundred making mods), Rimworld is pure crack in all the best ways possible. Hands down the best $30 I’ve ever spent on a game.
Enh, I’m not so sure about that, one of the most unique parts of RimWorld is that the primary goal is to tell a story. Even the best stories need a bit breathing room for the action-y bits to have weigh. RimWorld is filled with stories about colonies that ran out of food in the dead of winter, lone survivor types that either bleed out or later died of infection after a freak hunting mishap, or trying to hide from the flames and wait out the raiders/ murder machines. It may be waiting, but I find that more often than not (especially in the early game), it’s either a welcome break after a hectic day or an edge-of-your-seat fight-for-survival kind of waiting.
Nice! It’s time to buy some games that I’ll never end up actually playing
I bought Rimworld in 2015 on a Steam Christmas Sale and I finally played it this last year.
Breaking news: it’s really fun lol
I’ve had the opposite problem. Since 2018 anytime I think about trying a new game in my library I just play Rimworld instead!

I think hours in RimWorld should be divided by 10 for realistic number of hours played since so much of the game is waiting. :)

All am saying it’s the only game where I accumulated more than 1000h but without remembering how. It’s played differently from other games.
Highly recommend trying dwarf fortress if you like rimworld!
