Early Access Review
RimWorld is the penultimate colony survival game.

Objective

The main objective of the game is to escape this 'rimworld' that you crash-landed on, and get back into space. However, most people simply ignore this and treat it as a survival game to see how much you can build up your colony and build a ship yourself (which is fair enough!).
Don't think you'll be getting there in hours, though. I've got almost 50 hours and haven't even come close. Whether it's a mad beaver biting everyone and giving them infections that slowly kills them, or one person just can't take it anymore and goes on a stabbing rampage that wipes out anyone and everyone, there's always something that pops up.

However, I never feel like that's a fault of the game - you always learn something.

I thoroughly recommend RimWorld to anyone who enjoys colony survival or basebuilding games - but be prepared, it's pretty damn hard.
