Kenshi. It's very unique and one of my favourite games. It also has an amazing modding community.

I have launched this game several times and always end up wandering around aimlessly before getting killed in the wilderness. Is it possible to get into without following a wiki?

It's not unlike Valheim in that way, to be fair. Use a wiki sparingly, just to get your feet under you, and then leave it behind. ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿผ

I didn't use the wiki until 50+ hours in. You need to make your own goals. I started by making a thief and just stealing my way to the top.

You can fairly easily make money and skill up by just running around carrying and selling shit. Specialize your first characters, make the next companions workers.

It's very much a sandbox where you make your own story.

I kind of had the same experience with it, except I actually managed to get really into it one time. I started as a prisoner in a giant mine, and had a shitload of fun trying and failing to escape. After many hours, I finally did it, and lost interest shortly afterwards because things got too confusing again.
