   Kenshi by Lo-Fi Games took 12 years to make, and most of it was done by just one man, Chris Hunt. As many games, I had this on my wish listKenshi by Lo-Fi Games took 12 years to make, and most of it was done by just one man, Chris Hunt. As many games, I had this on my wish list for a while. And then, it went on sale, and I nabbed it. Best money I ever spent. It's an incredible game. Ok, Pros and Cons...
   
   PROS
   
   Open- End Free Roaming world. Do what you want. Be what you want.
   Very In-depth character creation.
   Huge world, with full weather, day/night cycle and storms.
   Nice graphics.
   Nearly bug free.
   Thousands of choices to make.
   No two games are alike. It's an ever changing world.
   Beautiful scenery and eye candy.
   Unique leveling and drop system.
   You can easily dump 1000 + hrs into this.
   
   CONS
   
   Random freezing when exiting through main menu.
   Very unforgiving, but that's what makes the game great.
   
   The game is just wickedly cool. Mr. Hunt and some people are already working on Kenshi 2. I for one can't wait to play it. Any ways... for those with any doubts about Kenshi, just try it. I give this flawless diamond a perfect 10 without a second thought. Just awesome. Thanks Chris!… Expand

   This is one of the best games I have ever played hands down. But not without its faults, though.
   First of all, this game gives you infiniteThis is one of the best games I have ever played hands down. But not without its faults, though.
   First of all, this game gives you infinite freedom and puts the "ropeplay" in RPG. You can do whatever you want to do and be whoever you want to be. But, like one wise individual said: "As long as whatever you do is extremely illegal, morally dubious and outright sadistic".
   
   You can be a trader, a bounty hunter, a shopkeeper, you can create your own legion of fighters, your kingdom or even empire.
   
   There is so much roleplay possibility on this game and you can create a unique backstory for each of your characters, or even create a clan with its own story.
   
   This game will keep you wanting more and it will potentially make you obsessed with it, as you spend hours building your fortress and leveling up as you fight through the various enemies, all of whom want to kill you.
   
   Traveling is a very big part of Kenshi, and most of the times it's dangerous. You will meet deadly wildlife, bandits, sadistic factions and every sort of thing that wants to kill you.
   
   XP is gained quite tediously, so I recommend a 2X XP mod, if you're not the type to grind for hours. Speaking of mods, there is a huge community of modders that will massively overhaul your playthrough in fantastic ways.
   
   Only complaints I have about the game is that it's very poorly optimized, since it runs on an old engine, which only uses 1 core of your CPU, and if your PC can't keep up, or you don't have an SSD, this game will lag quite badly and loading times will kill you. The old engine also means the graphics don't hold up. Again, that's where the mods come in. I recommend less pink please, and couple it with a shader, and you've got yourself a semi good looking game which doesn't burn your eyes when you look at it. (Also faces plus, it massively overhauls character faces).
   
   Another complaint I have is that the more you get to know the game, the more you're able to cheese it. Don't do that and the game will be very fun.… Expand

   I keep this short & clean.

   Pros
   - Much of play styles
   - Able to compensate hard situations with simple tactics & mind play.
   
   - This game is the only one I've ever came cross with, and I find this very unique and potential game.
   - Good & tough world with no "OP" setup to go with.
   - I find this game atm balanced.
   - Price/Content rate is ridiculous, so "cheap" for such a big amount of content which is updated constantly
   - And the most valuable thing for this game: Freedom to do what you want.
   - No quick travel
   - Unique "leveling" system
   - Full customization over squad members
   
   Cons
   - It can be frustrating (atm) to aggro constantly bandits (if there are many) which are recovering from critical blows after fights, as you & faction aggro them. (If they(=bandits) are assaulting ie. npc city)
   - Can be little bit lagged sometimes to move around the global map and get stuck somewhere. (often between heights and low environments)
   - Random crashes are annoying if you haven't saved frequently.
   - Enemy AI can sometimes feel shabby.
   
   Anyways cons are minor things, which can be fixed anytime soon
   
   I have much of things to say, but I suggest this for anyone seeking unfair adventure for glory & pride.… Expand

   This game is simply bad. It is bad in its every aspect.
   It does not have any storyline.
   It is not immersive because you cant even talk toThis game is simply bad. It is bad in its every aspect.
   It does not have any storyline.
   It is not immersive because you cant even talk to most of the NPCs.
   The combat system feels dull and ridiculous because animations look awful and its poor explanation leaves no desire to learn it at all.
   The world is empty and uninteresting.
   The game is not even difficult because you can easily loot bandits killed by guards, get good equipment and sell everything else.
   The gameplay itself is simply boring. Game promises you freedom, but it shackles you instead. It has very limited number of things your character can do at all.
   
   One of the worst experiences in my life.… Expand
