Evil Genius vs RimWorld
Evil Genius
Evil Genius is a fun simulation game that allows you to step into the shoes of an up-and-coming super villain. From building your super secret evil lair to recruiting your henchmen to carry out your nefarious plans, if you're looking to dominate the world in a hilariously cartoonish fashion, this game has it all! You can even kidnap government agents to test your "interrogation" toys on, and plant traps and other nasty surprises for anyone who is foolish enough to try to breach your lair. Of course, you'll need to amass a huge group of minions who will spread chaos around the globe in your name to increase your notoriety and power.Evil Genius is the only simulation game that lets you rule the world as a ruthless, calculative and perhaps somewhat maniacal super-villain with the likes of Gru from the Despicable Me movie series. It has a nice touch of humor too, making the game feels rather lighthearted despite the fact that you're ruining the lives of the virtual people who happen to share the same virtual world as your character. So, if you're feeling a bit mischievous today, you might want to check this game out.
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!
