If you like committing atrocities in The Sims and you're tired of twiddling your thumbs waiting for a new one to come out, you're in luck. RimWorld, a 2D colony simulation and survival game that just about any laptop can run, has just hit a peak concurrent player count seven years after it launched – all thanks to a new expansion that's so big it could have been a sequel.
Although RimWorld officially launched in 2018, it's been around for longer than that. The first alpha build came out in 2013. I remember booting it up during university lectures, making my pawns harvest organs instead of listening to film philosophy theories.
