Alien: Isolation vs RimWorld
Alien: Isolation
Alien: Isolation is a horror-survival adventure game that is set in the terrifying Alien universe fifteen years after the last events in the Alien movie. In this game, you'll play as Amanda, the daughter of the missing Ellen Ripley, who is driven by a need to know the truth behind Ellen's disappearance, embarks on an ill-prepared trip to a remote trading station Sevastopol. However, once your crew arrived, you immediately sensed that something's wrong. In a race against time, you'll need to scavenge resources and improvise along the way while knowing that your every move is being stalked by an Alien predator... and that your time here is becoming shorter every passing second.Alien: Isolation is possibly one of the most horrifying, story-driven game on Steam and that will most certainly knock your socks off when it comes to the fear department. If you're looking for a game that will give you a good solid scare, this is a game you can buy!
RimWorld
RimWorld is a sci-fi-themed colony simulation game where you need to build a livable and possibly self-sustaining base by making full use of all the skills your survivors have. Your survivors have their own sets of personalities as well and hence, they will react to the events that are happening around them, form relationships with other survivors, and even refuse to do work that they don't want to do. It's also nice to note that the game emphasizes on parts of the body so if your survivor lost a leg in an accident, he or she can still hobble around on the other provided that some form of replacement, like a peg leg, is given.Although most worlds have multiple biomes, the world you play in is randomly generated, so basically, you will never get the same world twice. The most interesting part about this game though is its AI storyteller. It is the "god of luck" who will throw challenges at you, be it disasterous weather or a pirate raid. There are a few types you can choose from as well, ranging from Randy Random who likes to randomly give you events to deal with to Phoebe Chillax who favors more neutral or positive events and takes it easy with the more negative ones.
RimWorld is perhaps the ultimate story-driven sandbox game that not only lets you build your own colonies and manage them; you'll also get to experience a story that is written as you play along. Sounds just like a game you'd like to play? Well, be sure to check this game out!
