Important to note is that the world is constantly in motion, factions clash, bandits raid and people die around you whether you are doing anything or not, you are not important to this world until you make an impact through your choices. None of these is a right or wrong choice (although I’d highly recommend you hit something with a stick for a while so you stand a chance of survival if ambushed) and it’s a testament to the thought that has gone into the game that you aren’t pigeonholed into a specific course of action. It is however totally up to you what you do right from the start.ĭo you want to steal everything that isn’t nailed down to sell elsewhere to get some starting capital or do you start making an honest living by gathering resources like iron and copper ore and selling them in town? Do you start towards researching stuff so you can increase your chance of survival? Do you buy a run down building in town to make your home or build something out in the wilds? The game doesn’t hold your hand at all although it does have a comprehensive set of in-game tutorials and notes so you can figure out how all the systems work. The world of Kenshi is harsh and unforgiving, dropping you into the game after a pretty comprehensive set of character creation screens with nothing but rags. But there is very little else that offers this level of freedom out there like Kenshi right now. You really do have a lot of options when it comes to a pure “ways to play” quotient, but the absolute freeform nature of things might be off-putting to some. You could choose to play as an honourable swordsman saving folk from the evils of the wilderness, form a squad and venture out into the unknown or alternatively you could gather a huge amount of people and create an autonomous settlement of your own. It’s hard to pin down exactly what genre Kenshi is as it has elements from role-playing games, real time strategy and survival which you can engage with if you want to. Step outside of the start town and wander too far and you’ll likely witness this firsthand, the game doesn’t take it easy on you. You are weak and the vast majority of people and other creatures in the world have better skills and are likely to kill you in a fight. Kenshi makes it clear from the very start that your character isn’t a chosen one like in a typical RPG story, you are simply a person in the world, just like everyone else. Now it’s out of Early Access how does it hold up? Set in a brutal, harsh world that doesn’t hold your hand, Kenshi is an ambitious open world squad-based RPG that gives you a lot of freedom to do whatever you want.
