CoP is shorter than SoC, which was the only problem I had with it.
I got Kenshi because it was on sale. I sort of regret it, sort of. Its not terrible, but its sooo empty. So so empty. Just sand. sand everywhere. Nothing to see, Nothing to explore. Just desert. So much desert. It is also incredibly slow. A slow trudge through the featureless desert, occasionally being harassed by bandits or cannibals. It's basically a game with some interesting things to do, but getting to the things to do requires a large amount of painful, slow wandering about in an unextraordinary landscape grinding money from starving bandits.
