Open world survival RPG Kenshi can be cruel, especially in the early hours. As our reviewer put it back in 2018, "basic survival plans can be easily derailed by a city guard who plants drugs on you then demands money you don’t have, or by finding yourself deep in a region inhabited by vicious alien giraffes."
The tough, uncaring world is part of what makes Kenshi so great, however: you're not playing some fabled hero following a big quest arrow to fame and glory, you're just another average person trying to scrape by in a complex world. It's not supposed to be easy.
