Craft the World vs RimWorld
Craft the World
Craft the World is the game to play if you enjoy the survival, mining, and crafting aspects of Minecraft. The game's quite similar to Minecraft in many ways. You can plant and harvest crops. You can and will actually need to dig to find rare minerals as well. You can also craft a variety of tools, furniture, and, in general, items that will help your dwarves survive the periodic invasions of goblins, the undead, and other otherworldly monsters or will at least make your dwarves content.That said, there are a few very important differences between Craft the World and Minecraft that made the former so unique. Instead of playing a character, you get to become the omnipotent "god" of small dwarves who you can order to do your bidding or you could even control them individually if needed.
The crafting system is quite different too. Don't get me wrong - you still need to combine raw materials to create the stuff you need like in Minecraft, but similar to the crafting system in a standard MMORPG, there's a progression system in place that will allow you to unlock new "technologies" simply by crafting lower-tech items repeatedly...even if you don't really need that many of them. What can you do with the surplus of items then? Well, you can just sell them. There's a shop that sells resources that you may need in exchange for game cash. You can randomly earn game cash by battling creatures and monsters and you could also sell off your extra items for cash.
Craft the World may not be everyone's cup of tea due to the rather repetitive and slightly clumsy crafting system, but the game is still pretty fun and it does offer a challenge for fans of the survival genre.
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!
