Kenshi is one of those games where I had it wishlisted for like 3 years, finally bought it, spent 300 hours soaking in the utter horror and brutality of it, resorted to shameless save scumming, put it down, and now, 2 or 3 years after my last session, I’m afraid to pick it up again because I have shit to do and nothing will get done until I’ve lost another several hundred hours to it.
EDIT: Oh, AND there’s a sequel coming and that’s even scarier to me than picking up the original again. Send help.
Hell yeah. Best kind of game for social “black hole” periods in your life (like when you move to a new city or something) and those times when you’re just uninspired and unwilling to be productive for a couple months, too.
Oh, I can’t ever just pick up an old save on a game like that. Although, with Kenshi, it might be easier in some ways to just pick up the save and go into an established, geared, and prospering character vs. becoming instantly disemboweled 10 min into a new save by a dust bandit lol

Those are the worst best games. When I’m home sick but ambulatory I love to waste my time on these.

I had one long playthrough (after dying early many times). Ended up building my own town between The Hub and Admag.
Then same thing, walked away a bit and now I’m afraid to go back. I can’t pick up where I left off really, and starting over seems like a lot of work.
