Nominated for the "Strategy/Simulation Game of The Year" at the 22nd D.I.C.E. awards (2019), Ludeon Studios' RimWorld has you managing a group of people stranded on a planet.

Galactic empires aren't possible in this futuristic setting, but you are in charge of the prosperity and happiness of your colony. With rogue-like mechanics, RimWorld brings hundreds of hours of variety to the player. It's an incredibly refreshing breath of fresh air for the simulation genre.

Type "RimWorld" into your browser and you'll find various accounts of people playing the game for 500+ hours and descriptions of a sandbox game without an end. The idea of a game "without an end" can be daunting for some people.

As one grows older, short stints of gaming, rather than the 60+ hours of quests and side missions, seem far more appealing.

However, RimWorld is different. The trade-off for a lack of an ending is the constant source of entertainment. Before you know it, you've achieved over 300 hours of playing and you have no idea how. You haven't reached the goal of the game, yet you're still here.

What's that source of entertainment? Try RimWorld and find out.
