With overwhelmingly positive reviews and 130.8 hours of average playtime, Rimworld is one of the BEST indie games on Steam. You spend your time managing colonists, building your base, defending from raiders, and stressing about how Randy Random will ruin your game. It is an outstanding title and today's video will tell you why!

On this channel, I like to cover games that have failed, games that have died, nostalgic stuff, and games that are awesome. In today's video, we talk about Rimworld and why it is one of the best indie games of all time. Tynan Sylvester created something amazing and I look forward to seeing what else happens with Rimworld.

The fact that 130hrs is the average playtime makes me feel a lot better about myself

[@db8658]

500+ hours, and every run has been different. There are so many ways to approach Rimworld. 11/10.

[@MizoraSux_1492]

I’ve dropped 90 hours in one week

Wtf is a York-shy terrier, a dog that's scared of York?? 🤣

[@Razzpen1]

Just to underscore how high quality the average mods are: a lot of mods have been integrated into the code without any modification as free updates (with the consent of the mod creators ofc)

[@bentaye]

800h of play .. In vanilla, no extension, and still counting

[@quannguyenanh422]

9600 hour here. Totally Worth it

[@LWT1331]

More complex than Oxygen not included? You must be new to the game...

[@VamshiOhgs]

I hardly get excited for a game just by reading the description but Rimworld easily qualifies to be among the list with great games like Kenshi and Factorio

[@DeathDefiant]

It just got banned in Australia...

I always love the little interaction messages.

What I love about the Rimworld is the stories it creates. To this day I remember my first successful colony. One of my 3 starting colonists was named Huntsman. Great soldier and blacksmith. Equipment made by him and his shooting skills saved colony countless times. 7 years later rocket to leave the planet was ready. One day before the launch Huntsman in his state of the art power armour got shot in the neck by some random enemy grunt and lost his whole head. We weren't leaving without him. We put him in the freezer and spent almost whole ingame year looking for item that would allow us to bring him back form dead. When I finally found it and got Huntsman back we finally used our ship. And after finishing game for first time I still play it to this day. Many biomes to start at, new ways to build base and what is most important thousand mods. I just got 1000h hours in it and I'm not planning to stop playing any time soon.

This is the only game where i could trap my enemies into a maze made out of stone and set some furniture on fire to get the room to be twice hoter then melting point of metal. After most of my raiders died i saved one who burned of his arms and one leg. Then i recruted him gave him high tech prosthetics some armor and a sword. Then i sent him to kill his own people.

You haven't truly experienced Rimworld until you've spent hours trying to manage your mods.

[@ijustsmokedapizza259]

Rimworld is hands down one of the greatest story/strategy games I’ve ever played

Pro player tip from a dude with 2k+ hours in Rimworld:

My most memorable RimWorld moment:

[@deaconblue-aja4864]

I once had a colony that was attacked by a mechanoid ship landing on the outskirts of the map, out of it came a massive scyther charge that I couldn't hope to defend against. My solution was to evacuate with as many colonists as I could. The whole playthrough then pivoting to become a story about wandering refugees trying to find their fortune raiding ancient dangers all over the planet and trading the treasure for food and equipment at any friendly settlement they could find. The game's mechanics are so deep that you can entirely subvert the 'colony management' part of the game, you can truly play however you like.
