Re: Welcome to the new column
It's similar, but different to games like 7DtD. One has you trying to build up a base to survive it's regular hordes, or surviving as a nomad. Kenshi has you trying to survive as a nomad, or defending a base against zealots who object to you having loose women. Especially if they don't have a book. Or you just get eaten by bone dogs, cannibals, captured and enslaved, jailed and generally finding out there's more than 7 ways to die.
Main thing is it's very much a sandbox, and venturing outside a town can swiftly lead to it's emergent gameplay.. and death, enslavement etc. Eventually you can build your own towns, trade, fend off zealots, have a warband strong enough to find out what mysteries await you in the ruins and craters & amuse yourself.
