Kenshi

Kenshi is a vast post-apocalyptic sandbox RPG with no chosen hero or predetermined destiny. You start out as practically nothing: without money, powerful weapons, or protection. Your goal is to survive, evolve, and decide for yourself who you want to become. Explore deserts, cities, ruins, and dangerous lands. Encounter merchants, mercenaries, bandits, soldiers, creatures, and dozens of factions with their own goals, laws, enemies, and allies. The world lives independently of you: caravans travel, armies fight, cities change, and NPCs go about their business. Assemble a squad of unique characters with different personalities, skills, and stories. Companions can talk, argue, befriend, and remember your actions. Injuries, defeats, victories, and decisions remain part of the story. Become a merchant, mercenary, bounty hunter, criminal, or leader of your own gang. Build a base, mine resources, craft weapons, and defend your settlement. There's no right way in Kenshi. You don't control the world—you're just trying to survive.
