When my playtime for a game eclipses my 500+ hours of Simcity 4 (although that doesn't count the non-Steam version) then its obvious I hold it in high regard.

I've been playing video games for almost 4 decades and Rimworld has become one of my top 5 games of all time. Just to clarify what are my favorite genres are...I have played plenty of RPGs/FPS over the years but I really enjoy games like Simcity, Civ, Xcom, FTL, and Tropico. Rimworld appeals to me because it has aspects of city builders, sim management, and 'god-games' with lots of quirky randomness, replayability, and modability. Every new colony can be a vastly different experience from the last even if I adopt a similar play style as the last one. In some ways for me personally it is the perfect game that after years I never seem to tire of.

I would say if you really enjoy Simcity, Tropico, FTL, and Civ then you will enjoy Rimworld.

(For clarity I own both DLCs for this game but I only have Royalty enabled. Ideology wasn't for me and made the game less fun for me)
