我玩 RimWorld 的第八个年头，终于修好了一艘飞船，送走所有殖民者。看着屏幕上的“任务完成”，我却没关游戏，而是把视角拉回那片废墟——那个只剩下疯掉的机械体、发霉的简易床、和满地狼藉的营地。我突然明白：这个游戏从来不是关于“离开”，而是关于“留下”。留下什么，以及如何留下。 刚开始你以为这是“科幻版模拟人生”。盖房子、种田、分配工作，看着小人们忙来忙去，像在看一窝文明的蚂蚁。直到第一场雷击引发的野火，烧掉了你所有的土豆储备。 你才懂：RimWorld 不是建造游戏，是关于脆弱的哲学实验。你的殖民者会因为卧室少了一平方而崩溃，会因为爱人被海盗打死而陷入消沉，会在丰收节派对上突然发疯，拿起燃烧瓶烧掉整座粮仓。这里的人，比现实里的人更像人——因为他们从不掩饰自己的愚蠢、偏执和不可理喻。 你开始学会的不是“优化”，是“妥协”。 那个只会在社交的艺术家，你养着他，因为他的雕塑能卖钱。 那个有枪械专精却是个纵火狂的士兵，你用他守夜，但要在他房间门口放一桶水。 那个年迈的医生，肾衰竭了，你从俘虏身上摘了一颗健康的给他——道德是什么？在这里，是“明天还能不能醒来”的问题。 事件表是这个游戏最天才的设计。它从不按“难度曲线”出牌。 可能连续三个季节风调雨顺，让你误以为自己是天才管理者。 然后第四年的冬天，同时发生：瘟疫、机械族突袭、贸易商队带来狂犬病、和一颗陨石砸坏了你唯一的发电机。 你手忙脚

好玩，但是价格是否过于昂贵？是否该给创意工坊的作者们磕一个!萌新时期想尝试一下先玩原版后加mod，发现玩不下来，没有玩的欲望，然后整了一个整合包，因为可爱的狐狸，鼠鼠，米莉拉和猫猫，以及傻狗，把我留了下来，然后才慢慢的去了解，去喜欢上的，说实话，你这游戏能涨这么多次价格，还能有人买，是否该去给创意工坊的作者们磕一个呢？!
