Dec. 2024

I figured it's about time that I reviewed this game. Whether or not this game is for you, Factorio is undeniably one of the best polished games that has ever been made. Bugs, when found, are rarely more than minor quirks, and are promptly fixed when reported. I've seen cases where a bug has been reported on reddit (not even the right place to do so), and a patch was released within a few hours. In terms of gameplay, Factorio scratches a certain itch that very few games provide. While it can seem intimidating at first, It actually does a very good job of leading the player step-by-step through what is needed. It does not, however, hold your hand. You are expected to figure some things out, and If you're the type of gamer who expects everything to unfold in a linear "this is the right thing to do" manner, you'll be disappointed. I'd expect that my play time alone should indicate my thoughts on the game. In short, If you enjoy puzzle-solving, and find yourself getting "nerd-sniped" when confronted with an interesting conundrum, then you should pick this up and give it a go. Just, don't do so when you have a looming deadline. Factorio has a habit of causing unintentional time-travel, when you sit down to play it for a couple of hours after the evening meal, only to find that it's suddenly 4am.

Oct. 2024

The game is top tier no critiques, just wanted to show some appreciation for how amazing the developer is. This was an Early Access game, they spent the time to fully flesh out the base game which is now amazing and pushed it to full release. Fostered an amazing modding community with built in modding support so people could extend the game. Now 4 years later brought on the amazing modder to build a fully fleshed out expansion which actually significantly expands the game. No fake Factorio 2 to milk money, no dlc farming every year for money. Even with the DLC now available you can revert to any old version of the game and still play the mods if you can't afford the update or just want to play an older version. The crazy devs honestly built a whole game from early access with an expansion without trying to rip anyone off, just focused on making a great game. Stand up and take a bow.

This game is dangerous. The expansion is coming out a week after I'm going back to Uni and I'm seriously debating which of the two things I should pour time into. 10/10, would get addicted to again.

crashland on a planet start exploiting the natural resources pollute the area kill and extinct the wildlife build a trainstation on their corpses expand to pollute and kill on a global scale do all this while having fun

April 2024

Factorio is the most dangerous game on Steam. This game imprisons you in a way unlike any other. This game is so good and addictive that you can't get out, you think "just a little longer" and it's suddenly 3 AM. You get stuck and you can't get out, no matter what. You can easily spend several hundred hours on a single save, and once you have tried everything vanilla has to offer, there are about a million fantastic mods out there. The process is as follows: You start losing contact to your friends, to your family, your grades plummet and you get kicked from school/university, and you are fired from your job. It is now only you, your computer, and Factorio. Then you ask yourself: "Was it worth it?" Yes. Yes it was. Because the factory must grow.
