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.
