Just another korean fomo mmo.

It's OK.

1.0 balance is a little weird, with nuclear power being useless, thankfully, as it looks like it would add around 50 hours of building mostly the same things you've already been building. I can only build so many constructors, with a splitter each, and a merger each, and a belt to connected the entrance, and a belt to connect the exit, and a belt to connect the merger, and a belt to connect the splitter, before I just don't want to build anything anymore.

Trains are OP and carry way too much, usually 1 wagon of anything is enough and there's no need to check the train's throughput. The infinite resource nodes limited to a certain x/minute and spread across the map are an interesting difference with Factorio, as it encourages building nice little factories everywhere; but once you have trains, there's really no reason anymore to not move everything to one place and build a single factory there.
Drones and cars feel like a waste of time to try to fuel and use, unless you need them to carry fuel around, which is pretty much just coal as the other types of fuel are not worth putting in them.

Sulfur is entirely skippable. Liquid/gaz containers to build once and move packed resources one way, moving empty containers the other way seems interesting, but sadly I never had to do it more than once across the whole playthourgh, with Nitrogen, which is also weirdly balanced as any resource well you find will make 10x what you will ever need. Most resources in general are way too abundant and outside of iron and copper, you'll only ever need to find one of each. Iron and copper each have trees of things to make with, but most of the other resources types feel wasted as you don't really make anything with them that feels like it's made of the stuff.

Building in 3D is rather annoying at first compared to Factorio's top down view, and blueprints are really not anywhere close to Factorio's blueprints. But Satisfactory shines more in how you can decorate your factory. Making belt spaghetti in 3D is awesome.

The story seems like it could go interesting directions, but doesn't get anywhere and the single ending is short and uninteresting. The alien language is interesting as you start to understand the real meaning of the words spoken, but that doesn't go anywhere either. Wasted potential.

Combat is forgettable as there's only 4 enemy types, and after seeing how much repeated things have to build to upgrade my weapons, I just turned ennemies aggressivity off (that was near the end of the game though).

While I'm mostly complaining, note that the game was good enough for me to take the time to write this wall of text after spending near 200 hours playing it; these problems don't really get in the way of having a good time, but would have made the game so much better. VS Factorio, this game for me is less about building efficient factories, and more about using the 3D and floor/walls/decorations/environment to build cool looking factories. In a world where Factorio exists, the devs of this game somehow managed to make different choices and get interesting gameplay out of them, when it would have been easy to just make "Factorio but in 3D".

Persona 5 at home. Game looks dated. You can skip story and you can have battle play themselves; it's basically the devs telling you that the story is not worth paying attention to, and the gameplay is not worth playing.

Pretty good so far.

Somehow it manages to be more fun than Hades 2 in solo.
...and also has a whole multiplayer mode on top of it.

After 46 hours I've finally completed the tutorial.

Runs like ♥♥♥♥, looks like ♥♥♥♥.

Overall it's good, but at some point you have multiple hospitalisation departments and they all feel the same. Doing patient treatment yourself is only fun for a while; and then there's no reason to keep playing since you can't progress anymore, you can only make your hospital worse by expanding it as you're limited in the amount of patients you get every day. DLCs don't seem worth their price.

Don't play this if you:
- Don't want to go through a mediocre 20 hour shounen story just to get to the actual game.
- Don't have a second screen to deal with the garbage matchmaking.
- Want to play with mouse and keyboard, the controls are atrocious.
- Like to have any control over the camera, it is
slow as ♥♥♥♥ (they fixed this part), fails to keep your character visible, likes to hug the ground and its lock on will slowly spin to the worst position if you dare be close to a boss.
- Like to see anything at all, the visual effects are so over the top you can barely see what your character or the enemy are doing.

Otherwise it's pretty decent I guess?

Nice game.
