I've been meaning to review this game for a while, I guess it's fitting that I get around to it now it's fully released.
Rimworld is easily a staple game people should try. It looks intimidating, yes. People have told me so many times that the game looks intimidating. But that's where the community comes in.
The Rimworld community is probably one of the better game communities out there, everyone's always willing to help and give advice, learning what you need/want is easy with such a great community at that game's back. Plus the modding scene is top notch. You want it? there's probably already a mod for that. Plus if someone drops a mod, someone will very likely pick it back up so people don't miss out.
The different game scenarios, paired with the different difficulty levels, the help of the community and even the in-game help box, it wouldn't be too long before you learned the ropes. It's very much a game where you just jump in and do it. Do the thing, you'll learn, you'll get there.
Make your adventure, your story with your highs and lows. Make that super base or bases, fight off those hordes of man-hunting yorkshire terriers, travel the world, build a ship to leave the planet, or don't, you do you. Fight your fights.

I seriously couldn't recommend this game enough to anyone. In my honest opinion, everyone should buy and play this game. I've had so much fun, right from the early alpha days, to now.
All sorts of different people I know, with different personalities, tastes in games and everything inbetwee.. they've all loved Rimworld.
The only reason I've not played so much recently is because life is getting in the way. Every play through is different, nothing gets old, especially with the help of the modding community.

I'm not saying the game is perfect -there aren't many things in this world that is- and this can cause frustrating moments, I won't lie, some of the ways some stuff works seems silly or just outright wrong. But for me, everything else I love about the game far outweighs the bad. I can live with it.

If you're still not sure, so see a Rimworld stream or youtube video. Look for someone who explains what they're doing. There's a good few that do. Go to the reddit, read up on it. Do your research. Hell, that's what this review is for, isn't it? for you to do some research on the game and if you'll like it? Exactly.

For me, this is one of the best games on steam. 10/10
