Kenshi

Forget being the chosen one; in Kenshi, you are nobody. This brutal, squad-based sandbox drops you into a massive, unforgiving 'sword-punk' wasteland where your only goal is to survive. Whether you choose to be a humble trader, a ruthless warlord, or just a snack for local cannibals, the game offers zero hand-holding. You will build bases, manage squads, and fight for every scrap of progress in a world that couldn't care less if you live or die. It is a gritty, open-ended struggle where your greatest achievements are earned through sheer persistence and the scars you collect along the way.
