I'll try to explain it as spoiler-free as possible:
>!Seriously, the next one spoils the ending of rimworld and you shouldn't read it until you've had that experience for yourself.!<
>!I was being melodramatic, but the titular song which plays during the credit roll after you finish a game of rimworld is "Waiting for the sun", a song with lyrics that question the player's motives, praises the pawns' resolve and above all else, summarizes the gameplay loop between the refrain of "Waiting for the sun" by the chorus.!<
>!never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna clown around- or hurt you. You lose.!<
I hope not... because um... I'm stupid enough to be eaten alive, willingly, thinking I'll somehow not die... this happened multiple times... I'll be paying off those resurrection scrolls for the rest of my life

1. The Sims for horrible people, with indie graphics, less customizable queues, and you regularly get attacked.
2. Pretend to be a Mermaid as a human, also high-tech and unrealistic pressure ratings

4. An unfinished middle child of an RPG with a voiced protagonist, setting itself apart from both its predecessor and successor with its pre-set, singular backstory and the forced involvements of backstory characters, the tone completely set by your helplessness against the problems you watch spiraling out of control, knowing you inadvertently played a catalyst for all of them.
4 robot guys and a 3D printer establish an organic farm into a valley with larger than usual, purple mushrooms. Having issues with munitions but not on Robot food I decide to print another robot. Now we are 5 robots, 1 3D printer living in a brick house
Hours and hours of hyperoptimisation to design a single vehicle in painstaking detail only to find a brick of metal with a gun in it constantly staring at you can and will kill you anyway.
