Grab RimWorld for cheaper than ever, and get its excellent expansions at a great price, too

RimWorld is a strange, beautiful gem of a game. Masquerading as a colony simulation experience, as you survive a daunting alien world, it's also arguably a story generator. For every haunting night that you barely see the next day, you'll also have a situation where your elderly colonist gets instantly wiped out by a meteor that decided to land exactly where he was. Or perhaps you slap a T. rex into learning its place in the world. Either way, it's an absolutely chaotic experience that rarely goes on offer, especially its DLC, yet they're all cheaper than ever with Fanatical's latest sale.
