Factorio

Amazing game. I decided to run a little experiment on my 10-year-old son: "if you launch a rocket into space, I'll give you $100" Three days later, he launched it Now I'm $100 poorer, but I have a great story and an awesome save file of a base built by someone who tried really, really hard. 10/10, would make questionable financial bets with my child again.

Terrible game, I lost my relationship over it, my education, my sleep habits, my sense of hunger, my sense of time, my interest in humans, my past time, the present and my future. Gonna keep playing. The factory must grow.

This is the one game you wish you bought it when it released and regret you can't find anything better after playing. Just an amazing game that nobody has matched to it's appeal and scale. Such a marvel to gaming that I will be playing this for many years to come.

Very rarely does one find a game that scratches that one itch. That kind of game that never gets boring, that one can replay endlessly and it still doesn't feel old, where you barely realise how much time has passed. For me, it's this game. I dont have much to say, other than that it is incredibely well polished and optimized. The gameplay loop feels really rewarding and there are thousands of ways to build and scale your factory, it deserves its nickname Cracktorio for a reason. People with autistic tendencies or germans be advised, this game will suck up time like an industrial vacuum does dirt. if you liked the demo and the base game, i also highly recommend the Space Age DLC, which practically quadruples the average playtime per session and opens the floodgates for incredible factory optimzation. There are also plenty of easily accessible mods for more content. Someone once said to me this looks like one of those idle games. I couldn't disagree more: There is always stuff to do. The factory cannot sit still. The factory must grow.
