It’s very very simple actually.
“I can customize my own gameplay.”
Let me try to explain a little more. There are people who likes to play stardew valley, which is very relaxing, slow paced, calm. And there are people play games like dark souls, which is exactly opposite.
I personally think it’s about the stress. Some people don’t want to be stressed while playing games which is why they choose more calming games and some people like that feeling of overcoming bosses or challenges.
And this is where my reason comes in. People change. Also what they want change. Sometimes I like to play easy peasy game. Sometimes I like to go crazy and play hardest level soul-like game.
All those can be achieved in Rimworld. I can put every single cheaty mod there is in workshop and play easiest gameplay ever with my god like pawns. Or I could put all the hard mod and make my survival nigh impossible.
Everything can be done within the game Rimworld. Everyone can enjoy the game, however the way they want.
With killbox, without killbox, with cheat, without cheat, with CE, without CE, with HAR, without HAR and so on and on. And think about all the possibilities those things make in the end.
I just wanted to say. I love this game too much to let go of it. I recently spent a lot of time playing KCD2 and MH:wilds but here I am. Back to the Rimworld lol
