As far as factory games go this one is a best in genre. I've seen people playing it more than I have played it myself so when I finally sat down it was surprising how much the game expects you to figure out yourself without any guidance.

There is a certain fun to creating lines, optimising and organising the belts to connect things together as it exponentially grows, but I found the biter bugs to make the experience less fun as this constant eroding force that requires you to juggle the combat side of the game and makes building more tedious.

I think I lack the right type of autism to really sink my teeth into this one, or maybe it's knowing where the game ends up that I can see myself not really wanting to get invested. It's a creative idea taken to a high level, but maybe if gameplay was more puzzle focused with clear objectives I'd be more into it personally.
