Ass helmet.
Still sized completely wrong... years later.

Has a way to go when it comes to ironing out the small kinks with features and gameplay elements but mainly the AI. Overall well bad. Decent performance, good amount of features, losts of room for expansion, and brings that SWAT 4 vibe back.

it's ok

Remember back in the day when games were hard, ruthless, unforgiving?
Well that's Dark Souls III

Now downs devs cater to a more relaxed play-style for their games, adding ways of aiding you at any possible turn.
romSoftware, Inc. Do the other thing... They know their game is a pain in the ass and because of that they take pride in it.
Learning DS3 takes time, patience, care, and a cool head; while you may die countless time in a short space, learn from your mistakes, Dark Souls while notoriously hard is rather fair, pratically anything the AI can do, you can do, the advantage you have is a human brain.

A massive world, unique art style that stands out from the crowd, countless different enemys and friendlys, and deep lore will keep you coming back no matter the amount of times you die.

Dark Souls is best played with a controller.
Some games are, Dark Souls III is one of them.

£8 for the base game + DLC, I made the right choice.

Stop watching people play and pick up a copy asap!

Overview:

Rimworld is a prison architect esk game with matching art and design concepts, but with a ♥♥♥♥ tone more gameplay elements and game mechanics....

What makes Rimworld stand out from the crowd is the sheer amount of customization before actually starting your save and during your time through the game.
When making a new save (Starting a new colony) you can choose between a huge amount of options which will in return determine how easy, hard, balanced, fun, boring, interesting, dull, your overall game will be.
To list a few things:

Traits, stat multipliers, in game events, starting items, researched projects, starting location, AID (artificial intelligence director), amount of people you begin with, type of settlement, time of year, size of overall explorable map, and much-much-much more.....

One of the biggest selling points of Rimworld is the "artificial intelligence director". There are 3 AID's to choose from, the carefully-paced Cassandra Classic, the slower-paced, building-oriented Phoebe Chillax, and the totally unpredictable Randy Random.

Each AID will oversee your game and will make choices based on your performance, like when to start a random event, type of weather, severity of each raid, overall mood of NPC's, and yet again... Much-much-much more.
On top of the AID's themselves, you may also choose the play style of them too. (Basically difficulty of each AID)



Pro's:

• Very addictive. I've not stopped playing since I got this game. I even skipped my doctors appointment today and told them I'll be there tomorrow instead. - I waited 2 weeks for this appointment.
  
  
• Unique and well throughout characterized artificial intelligence directors which really do spice up the game and
  keep it interesting each new save.
  
  
• Lovely looking art concept which fits the theme of "Rimworld" and the type of game.
  
  
• Massive customization
  
  
• Mods!
  
  
  
  Con's:
  
  
  • Heatwaves are basically GG. The only way I found to counter them if you haven't got coolers and electric is to strip all NPC's of their clothes and turn on Dev console, then force a thunderstorm which only slighty reduces the heat.
    Even with the above I still normally failed to counter it and all NPC's died.
    (Please ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fix this ♥♥♥♥ dev's, we beg of you.)
    
    
  • Thing's go from bad, to worse, to hell real ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quick here in Rimworld.
    With my latest Tribe I was around one hour in and suddenly a psychic drone (Some really bad thing off the map which you have no control over) started to make all my people unhappy extremely badly.
    10 mins later it crashes to the ground and lands on all my crops, completely wipping out all my food, then begins to freeze the land stopping my from growing anything, to which I'm given a message that I must attack and destory it before it freezes the land more + makes everyone even more unhappy.
    I tell my people to attack it when suddely 3 "AI" climb out with lazers & shields and begin attacking my 4 tribes men with clubs.
    2 die instantly, and then third goes mental and begins attacking the forth. Only for the AI to then make all animals go mental and begin attacking everything else alive.
    
    Oh and a thunderstorm struck lightning too, burning what was left of my village and surrounding forest.
    
    This kind of ♥♥♥♥ happened in every save of my so far, but not quite of that scale tho the above is a true story.
    
    
  • The base game lacks content.... Kinda. For the amount of time it's been out and for a price tag of £20 there is a lack of (At least early game) content.
    
    
  • Tribe/Colony managementis quite awful. I'd say learn Crusader kings 2 is easier then dealing with your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ people.
    
    
  • Lacks basic simple features which are not game breaking but is a basic concept and should be already implemented.
  
  
  Conclusion: To answer the question you'll all asking.... Yes... It is worth £20.
  In time this game will be 100x better then it's current state ( Which is already at a high standard )
  
  

I used a trainer to change my level, spawn cash, gain all perks, god mode, super run and jump, and everything else that you can think of that would be possible by hacking... I done. All simply because this game after leveling up a few times and with around 24 hours game time was boring as ♥♥♥♥ and became a massive copy paste.

Hacks made the game acutally fun.

Meh......

No where as good a Elder scrolls:oblivian. To me skyrim did really cut it. In a way it just doesn't feel like elder scrolls very hard to explai what i mean
