IDLE_DIRECTIVE

Not going to lie. This is the best incremental game I've played in a long time. It might not look amazing at first but it is an exploration game where you are a robot trying to follow the directive to repair terminals. Explore locations get more and more power, metal and resources. You are the factory and the factory must grow exponentially.

This may genuinely be the best idle/incremental of the year. Astoundingly good.

A nice little incremental game. I am hesitant to truly call it an idle game, as you micromanage a bit too much, and the few automation systems are buried a fair bit into the reset system. The first half of the game is active play, the second half idle after you learn the systems and unlock the actual idle mechanics. For the price though, it's excellent. It even has a demo that is basically everything you can do before your first soft-reset.

After some time the game became unplayable, there is a memory leak which can only be fixed by closing the game and restarting steam.

Absolutely fantastic and unique idle / incremental progress game. Great music and a really cool way to interact with the world. The beginning requires a few hours of focus until you can get to a point where you can automate moving and then it has larger gaps in time where it can manage itself. It was a really fun experience learning how to optimize the robot as you get upgrades and new tools. The prestige system is more slow burn than other games in this genre and some upgrades are much more useful early on so read them all. There will be periods of focus and periods of farming that change in length depending on your upgrades. Personally I enjoy that, but I think that's why a number of people don't like this game.

Je ne peux pas recommander ce jeu. J'aimais beaucoup la direction qu'il prenait, mais il manque à ce jour cruellement de contenu et de profondeur. Je ne sais absolument pas comment certaines personnes ont atteint les 70+ heures de jeu, j'ai vu tout ce que le jeu avait à proposer ou presque en 5h, et c'est en comptant des moments à juste attendre que des constructions se terminent ou que des ressources se récoltent.

Not idle at all. Finishing an area feels like punishment instead of progression. An upgrade window that is completely useless as you still have to open every single item one at a time to upgrade them, then manually close them as well. There are so many QOL issues similar to this that it makes me curious if this dev made the game as a joke to see how much stupidity people will tolerate. 0/5 - Patching the QOL issues would make this game a lot better, even without it being idle.
