Do you remember playing games as a kid and making up stories as you go? Building forts in Halo forge and imagining the epic battles that would take place there? That's the experience Kenshi gave me, create some rad dudes with cool backstories, throw them into the world and watch the way the game just creates narratives for you. Every single person who's played this game has crazy stories they'd tell you.

"I became a drug kingpin producing and selling hash in every black market"
"I was a criminal with a bounty on my head and tried to redeem myself by serving time. Before I was released the police sold me into slavery and I gave up on my hopes of an honest life. From that point on all I wanted was for the United Cities Burn"
"I'm a quadriplegic who lives in a hut with 6 women, I trained them all to be petty thieves to make me money"
"I played as an archaeologist hunting for relics, trying to piece together what really happened to this world"

All of these vastly different stories emerging from the same sandbox speaks volumes to it's insane potential and depth. That being said there is a bit of an esoteric learning curve and some time spent scouring wikis is going to be needed to understand some of the games systems. But put in some time and you'll be rewarded with a game that makes you feel like a little stupid giddy kid again.
