I am not usually into these types of games, but I must say that Factorio is executed very well. It's a shame that I am not in the mindset to binge this, otherwise I would not do anything else for a couple of weeks.

Factorio offers you endless possibilities to improve your base, and your own freedom to find out how. Besides the tutorials (which were, in my opinion, a tad too long and grueling for people who want to jump into the game and get their own base started), you can just f*ck around until something works. After a while, you notice that a part of your production is weak, so you invent a new way to produce, and so on and so on. Along the way, you have to defend yourself from the locals, which actually requires your full attention. These high stakes make it more interesting, but can feel devastating if your base is destroyed and you have to virtually start over.

Graphics are fitting, music is too (but I wish there was more variety in it). Controls are fine, nothing to complain about.

Great game! Will pick it up again later, for sure.
