Early Access Review
Hours and hours and HOURS spent building, organizing, and optimzing my factory. Often doing nothing but looking around for ways to make things faster, and I regret NONE of it.

Factorio is a very special game and you will likely fall into 1 of 2 camps. Either it will mean nothing to you, you'll be bored wanting something ANYTHING to happen, it might just not be for you.

On the other hand, if this game is for you it will scratch a VERY particular itch (that you may not have even known you had) like Nothing else ever has! It will feel amazing to play and you will never want to stop!

If you are unsure, I HIGHLY recommend the demo, find out if this game is for you. Additionally, if you purchase it directly from the developers they get a larger cut of the sale and you get a steam key in addition to a DRM-free download.

Speaking of the developers, they are fantastic. They understand their game and know how to improve it, and they do. The game is contantly updated with improvements and small amounts of new content that improve the game and can make building more interesting. My personal policy with Early Access is that I have to be okay with a Dev never updating the game again after I buy it. Well I was okay with that, but the devs have been fantastic with improving the game since.
