Got both of my arms and my face sliced off by a bitey worm before mind-dominating it, ate my own arms and face as rations on the way back home.
Tongue rotted away, luckily I'm a psionic with telepathy who don't need no arms, face, or tongue to communicate or fight. People still charge 2x the price in shops now because everyone's a superficial ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in Qud.

No arms, no way to hold light source. -> Completely blind in dungeons and caves, and at night.

Stumbled into fungus forest, one mushroom spore bukkake later, a glowing mushroom grows on my back and illuminates my surroundings. Everything's better with shrooms.

Tongueless, faceless, armless glowing mushroom psi-person now roams the lands, looking for a way to restore all those lost body parts while mind-crushing, psi-burning and enslaving the hordes of extradimensional crabs and goatpeople who want to absorb all the crazy psionic powers for themselves.

If you like to tinker and experiment around in games, if you have a knack for city builders and like to construct an efficient system, then observe it for a while and modify again to optimize, get this game.

If you like utter chaos and screenshakey explosions, pirates, mech spiders and house-sized buzzsaw weaponry, get this game.


There's many ways to play this, and it really is one of those games where losing is fun, not only because it's a learning experience, but it also manages to drive home the atmosphere with the sound and effects. And yes, I'm aware that many people criticize the screenshots, but just wait and see until you've finished your first conquest. The outside view of the vessels isn't as important as what goes on inside, anyway.

See through the torn-open walls of a burning, battered bunker, corpses littering all the hallways, and just one guy still alive, trying to fight the flames until he runs out of water. Then he accepts his fate and stands there, trapped by the fire until the entire structure explodes in a mushroom cloud of awesomeness.
Force your crew to focus on firing the cannons while the rest of the ship behind them is already breaking apart and falling from the sky, so at least they can take some of the enemy down with them.

Or laugh at your own stupidity when you forget to add enough coal storehouses and your entire armada just drops like a brick in the middle of the fight, crushing the hostile landship underneath them in a huge, suicidal fireball.

Also, no bugs on my end, so far!

I had Rimworld since alpha 6 now, and I still keep coming back to it after years of binge-gaming.
After playing my fair share of DF, Gnomoria, Stonehearth and all the other DF-likes, I can safely say that this is the most elaborate, or at least most unique one.
It's by far the hardest of the bunch, too. Whereas you can just wall yourself in in most of the other DF-likes, the AI in Rimworld will just bomb their way through your walls or shell you with artillery cannons from a distance.

Even if you're prepared for the biggest combat challenges, diseases, social infighting, crop blights, power conduit explosions or other events will keep you busy well enough.
Add to that the extreme modability, the inbuilt scenario editing system and several biomes with different challenges (jungle is painfully hot and riddled with diseases, ice sheet freezes your butt off and you can only grow crops indoors, etc.), you'll have a lot to do before exhausting what this game has to offer.

I know the price seems steep, and people compare it to Prison Architect because both games share the same artist (Ryan Sumo I think it was), but I'd buy this over Prison Architect any day.

Killed my wife because she turned out to be a lesbian that got some STDs from banging other random women, smothered my 2 year old grandsom with a pillow to make sure there wouldn't be any succession troubles further down the line, and abducted the king to claim his crown. Then I ransomed him away for 150 bucks which I used to throw a massive feast that made me a depressed drunkard and gave me a crippling, epic hangover.

Immediately after taking place upon the throne, a heretic revolt of 15000 men popped up in the southern countryside, so I decided to nominate some other duke to be the next king (elective monarchy ftw) and killed myself to let him have all the fun with that. #notgonnadealwiththisshit



If you know someone else to play this with in MP, get this ASAP. You only need the base game to join your buddies, and you can still use all the DLC that the host has, even if you don't own them. This beats EU4 to a pulp any day, even though it can get quite confusing and complicated after a while.

It's basically Mount&Blade in space.
Sure, SPAZ 1 was great, but this here is quite different in the way it plays.

The two (!) devs are still putting their all into the franchise, and they already added so much over the course of the Early Access, always super quick to respond to feedback and bug reports.
Just give it a try and keep the legacy alive,

This has aged really well, I must say. Even in fullscreen it's playable without too much of a hassle.
Of course some of the GUI stuff is a bit 90's-style obscure, for example doubleclicking a building opens up a different info screen than single-clicking it, but other than that it runs perfectly fine on Win7 64bit.


This had such a lasting impact on my childhood, that even when playing GTA 5, encountering Lamar immediately made me think of Ancyra LaMarr, the Rigellian ambassador in this game xD

So yeah, this has something for everyone from a tycoon/business sim with covert agent actions up to the sparkly laser napalm space battles and planetary annihilation stuff with utter chaos.

Really can't wait for a remake of this, but until then, the original is definitely worth the price of admission.

Epic. Just epic.

I tend to shy away from Early Access nowadays, given the recent disappointments like Starforge or Towns, but this definitely hit the sweet spot of EA.

The sheer scope of the premise, given with the activity and apparent competence level of the developer made this pretty much an instant buy. It also has a pretty good AI (one that even the player can use, too), so it offers a ton of replayability already. A campaign with resource gathering, diplomacy, hell even a working RPG system with levelups are there to tamper around with. Didn't even factor in things like multiplayer or co-op, which are still pretty much a work in progress.

Also, the physics are pretty nice. Recoil has an actual impact, parts breaking off of your vessel can make you lose control, and weight will make you sink to the bottom of the ocean, whereas airtight compartments on a metal ship will keep you afloat, unless breached and flooded with water.


If you like Kerbal Space Program or Starmade, or if you like the big, humming multiblock machines of certain Minecraft mods, you're probably going to love the hell out of this. Oh yeah, there's space, too. Orbital cannons raining down fiery death on submarines are possible and encouraged. And don't worry, the graphics are going to get an overhaul, too. Now stop reading and go buy the game D:

Called the elevator..

Elevator reached my floor, doors opened, and a fellow janitor came blasting out, surfing on a tidal wave of spazzing-out-physics gibs and blood, killing me in an instant by shredding me with bloody buckets, garbage bins and severed limbs.
