Extremely fun game held back by technical limitations because of a bizarre engine choice almost two decades ago. Once you get over the early learning curve by playing or in my case watching others play, you unlock a unique one of a kind sandbox no other game replicates.

The big downsides like I said are related to the OGRE engine, the load times are extremely annoying when you get characters that run at 55 mph and npc's will randomly decide to walk through your walls directly into your base. If you're going to play I HIGHLY recommend giving the following mods a try, they're somewhat annoying to install but improve the experience tenfold:

RE_Kenshi
Optimization for Nvidia GPU in Kenshi
Particle System Override (PSO)
Kenshi Performance Fix

If you're having issues with long loading times when loading in new chunks these mods will make it 3-5 times faster, especially when playing with overhaul mods.
