RimWorld stands as humanity's most sophisticated empathy simulator—not because it creates empathy, but because it systematically erodes it. You begin caring about your colonists as people and end seeing them as walking resource containers. The game's genius isn't in its mechanics but in how it transforms you into exactly the kind of ruthless survivor it simulates.

The game is worth waiting 30 minutes each time you open it because of all the mods you enabled.

This game taught me a lot about cultural acceptance, and the importance of working together to build something lasting, significant, and beautiful. Then it taught me to hate everything, and everyone.

a good game if you want something quick and easy, but the replayability is a bit lackluster, becoming a bit boring after only 1300 hours
