... Wieso hat das Spiel so viele gute Bewertungen?
Das was in den Bewertungen steht ist so wahrheitsverzerrt, dass ich mich nicht wunder muss, warum Open World Spiele tot und leer sind, denn offenbar wollen Leute genau das.

Was ich immer wieder lese:
Die Story schreibt sich von selbst, du kannst deinen eigenen Weg gehen.
Korrekt.. aber .. ist das bei Elder Scrolls nicht auch so, wenn ich einfach keine Quests mache?
Da kann ich ebenfalls farmen, Monster jagen und die Weltablatschen. Warum macht man es bei Elder Scrolls nicht so? .. weil es langweilig ist.
Es gibt 2 Gesprächsoptionen:
Handeln oder tritt mir bei.
Das wars. Mehr gibts von NPCs nicht zu holen.
Dann..ist doch sicher die RIESIGE!!! open World voll mit Dingen, die man tun kann, oder?
.. nein.
Die Welt ist komplett leer. Selten laufen Monster herum und ab und zu findet man Erz zum abbauen.
Und das wars.
Ich habe euch soeben ALLES erzählt, was man bei Kenshi erlebt.
Langt euch sowas für ein gutes Spiel?
Ich kanns einfach nicht glauben..

Kenshi is a fantastic game where you genuinely make your own story and can do anything in a huge open world with a post apocalyptic samurai aesthetic.

In the same vein as Mount & Blade, UnReal World, and other similar sandbox games; Kenshi has no main story, no pre-determined path to follow. This game is truly a story generator, you will become attached to characters, despise certain factions, genuinely feel affected when someone dies or loses a limb or becomes enslaved. You will make allies, enemies, friends, bases, do anything you want to. You wanna play a lone wandering samurai who bounty hunts? Do it. You wanna be a trader who runs a caravan and makes money selling things at higher value? Do it. You wanna renovate houses in cities and run businesses or training facilities out of them? Do it. Mining operation, hunting guild, farming plantation? Do it. You can ignore so many systems in this game or use all of them. There is an entire city-sim in this game you can choose to not do and not truly miss anything because you are still getting an amazing generated story the way you want it. Group-based rpg. Bounty hunting sim. Solo RPG. City builder. Guild organizer. Thief simulator. Business simulator. All of these things you can do or not. Your choice.

The gameplay is satisfying, very similar to Morrowind in the way of early on you will be missing and getting hurt a lot, but by the end you can feel the grind pay off, your characters becoming skilled and useful. If you enjoy the power gap in games you will enjoy this one, it is not a game about being powerful at the start as you won't be. You need to train. You need to lose fights. You need to get better gear. And it is all so satisfying.

The world is gorgeous and unique, the cities and wilderness and just overall design is so alien and fun and horrifying and beautiful. The music too is just outstanding, the Main Theme in particular makes me feel so emotional, the same way some of the most memorable tracks in gaming like Ezio's Family for AC2 make me feel. Its so good, the mournful yet adventurous and bright sound of the world is hypnotizing and invites you in.

Also, Beep is my truest love.

As someone who thinks the ideas behind games like Dwarf Fortress are interesting, they've always been a challenge for me to get into and truly appreciate. Kenshi allows me to play a game like that without being too complex yet having just enough depth to be just as engaging.

I've barely seen what this game has to offer, yet I have poured upwards of 30 hours into it already and see no sign of stopping. In such a beautiful and rich world that you just exist in like everyone else, you do things simply to survive; the meaning behind your play-through is up to you.

It's ultimately a CRPG survival game; stats increase the more you do something associated with said stat, and the game does a good enough job explaining that. Combat is mostly just hitting right-click and telling what party members to fight and what kind of stance they should be in. The weapons they carry can affect enemy limbs differently, and they all have varying degrees of use. The best part is that the survival mechanics aren't overbearing or stressful. You have a list of limbs and they each have their own health bar. Using bandages and splints depending on the injury fixes them, and they slowly regain health again. You have a hunger stat, but obtaining money for food isn't too much trouble.

Give this game a shot and save often if you do; don't be afraid to save scum and learn from your mistakes. While it is difficult, it is still very enjoyable and immersive. And if you see a big giraffe-looking thing with a beak, make sure to go up to it, as they offer great transport and make for good food resources.

The best Animal Crossing game to date.

Amazing game, it's in my top 3. Perfect world building with charismatic factions that interact with each other (mostly aggressively xd), incredible weapons, armors, this game even have limb prosthesis! The character progression is really authentic and rewarding for being a very long process and also for starting as a shitty Lvl 1 Crook. And if we are talking about its lore... there is a shit ton of it which its really unique and interesting.

The worst aspects of the game may be the performance issues while travelling or switching between characters that are far from each other and also not having a polished player-faction interactivity.

Please, play this game.

In the first 20 minutes of playing this game, I tried making my character (Plank, my beloved) mining some rock for resources only to immediately get killed by bonedogs with no chance of fighting back.

After restarting and playing for another half hour, I saw some bandits get wacked and enslaved by the Holy Nation and figured if I could free one while they didn't see I could get a new team member. That didn't happen and Plank was immediately crippled and enslaved too.

I then spent actual hours in the Holy Nation prison Rebirth training up Plank's lockpick, sneak and assassin skills by freeing and knocking out defenseless fellow slaves. Two slaves tried to escape, only to get caught and get the shit kicked out of them, eventually after enough times getting their legs sliced off. I created an escape plan myself by knocking out the guards at one of the entrances and putting them in slave cages which shouldn't have worked but it hilariously did because Kenshi is janky as fuck. I had a team of 3 at this point, and carried out those two legless slaves who refused to join me and just crawled back in the dust to Rebirth.

I then spent actual hours just trying to have my guys survive, trying to find items I could sell just so they didn't starve. The default hunger speed is crazy so I lowered that I won't lie, and I found a nearby town to live in and buy a shitty little hut in. Eventually after scrounging up enough I got a bigger house for all of my guys, and got some mods so I could do some farming inside the town to create hemp, so I could make fabric, so I could make bandanas, so I could then eventually level up one of my guy's clothing skill to make enough high quality bandanas so I could sell them and become crazy rich.

I then spent actual hours just levelling up combat skills and recruiting new people. I got a mod that increased skill level up speed because the default is agonising I won't lie. To train combat skills your best bet is just to throw your guys at bandit groups and get the shit kicked out of you, and do it over and over until you need someone stronger. When training my group against some aggresive escaped slaves, one of my characters - called Plop - severed an arm off a slave, and then brutally chased her down as she fleed to cut off the other arm just for fun or something. I felt so bad man, I patched her up and let her heal back up in my base. When she was healed she speedily ran the fuck out for obvious reasons, only to run into another one of my team outside the town who I had returning and then basically recruited herself onto my team upon seeing him. I think events like this happen with injured NPCs, but it probably isn't intended for contexts like this lmao.

I think you get the point. Kenshi can be jank, grindy, tedious, and hard to even approach, but its an incredible RPG sandbox that can give you insane and unique tales with all the freedom it has. Its really satisfying struggling so hard at the beginning, taking forever to do anything, only to finally be able to fight back in the cruel world of Kenshi. My boy Plank ended up toppling the Holy Nation that once enslaved him, with a lot of difficult and bizarre stuff along the way. I highly recommend you give it a go and just see what stories you end up with.

Hey Hey people, not Sseth here...

Bem-vindo a Kenshi, o jogo que faz você se perguntar se seus olhos foram transportados de volta para a era do PlayStation 1. Os gráficos são tão "charmosos" que você juraria que o desenvolvedor era fanático por polígonos pixelados. Mas calma, porque em Kenshi, a beleza está nos olhos de quem sabe apreciar um visual retro chique.

Sobre a jogabilidade? Ah, ela é mais desengonçada que uma girafa patinando. Controlar seus personagens é tão intuitivo quanto tentar ensinar física quântica para uma galinha. Mas não se preocupe, porque em Kenshi, todos são meio que desengonçados, e isso faz parte do charme. É tipo aquele baile estranho onde ninguém sabe dançar direito, mas todos estão se divertindo.

O mundo você pergunta? Bem, os canibais são tipo vizinhos que sempre querem te convidar para um churrasco... onde você é o prato principal. Os fanáticos religiosos são persistentes como vendedores de seguros. E os bandidos estão mais interessados em roubar sua comida do que qualquer outra coisa. É uma espécie de dieta criminal.

A experiência em Kenshi é como uma obra de arte abstrata: pode não fazer sentido à primeira vista, mas ao se aprofundar nesse universo complexo, uma maravilhosa tapeçaria de desafios, histórias e conquistas se desdobra diante do jogado, uma jornada inesquecível, onde a brutalidade, os gráficos feios e a jogabilidade estranha se entrelaçam para criar algo verdadeiramente único e extraordinário.

Beep....

Hobo Samurai Cowboy Bebop Breaking Bad Mad Max simulator with a smidge of giant man eating giraffes and a chance of heat rays from orbital stations that will burn your skin off, r̶o̶b̶o̶t̶s̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶ w̶i̶l̶l̶ p̶e̶e̶l̶ y̶o̶u̶r̶ s̶k̶i̶n̶ a̶n̶d̶ w̶e̶a̶r̶ i̶t̶ friendly humans who have no ill intent towards you whatsoever :)

All in all a very satisfying and entertaining game which makes you choose your own path and the way you play this game. The only problem is that you have to have a very good computer otherwise you can't run this game, you will barely be able to run it even with the lowest settings without your computer being set on fire.

A little hint toward new players: after you spawn go directly to the Fog Islands safest place with the best loot in the game.

I bought Kenshi because I saw a Reddit conversation asking about games where you are not "the chosen one." Kenshi fits that description perfectly. You wake up as a poor outcast in a desert community. The world cares nothing about you and you have little to your name. I figured out that I needed to recruit some of the locals if I wanted to get anywhere. Unfortunately, I quickly ran into a bug where the population of neighboring towns would not load. Unfortunately, this is where my play stopped. The early game had a lot of grinding, and I expect the rest of the game to have grinding as well. I did not want to start over after the bug, and all internet sources said I needed to start over.
The game looks like it has a lot of potential, especially with mods to improve quality of life. I want to try again once I install some mods that make bugs like the one I encountered less common. It seems like such mods are out there.

Bro why is this INDIE GAME so fucking big??????? I have 87 hours and only have explored like half the map because going further than that means beak things are going to get a little angry for some reason. Not only is the game massive, it is more realistic than AAA titles, fuck I even think this game is more realistic than the last cod, you can interact with everything, everyone and everywhere, and all the choices you make are permanent (kinda), lost an arm? bummer, lost a leg? bummer, everyone in the party died? make a new one, EXCEPT YOU DON'T HAVE TO, you can buy robotic legs from the hive that are even better than your flesh, and if everyone dies the game is not gonna delete your file like a rouge-like or charge the last save as other games, it will stay moving until you leave the game.

It's so massive that it shouldn't be possible for an indie game.
