What a gem of a game! Satisfactory does not waste your time, does not try to upsell you, has no DLC or in-game purchases and is consistently fun - assuming you're into such kind of game. So what kind of game is it? Satisfactory is mostly a building and automation game but with an unusually high emphasis on world exploration and, most surprising of all, traversal. It manages to keep movement utilities progression from the beginning until the very end. Jump sliding and jetpacking around is consistently fun and made even better with liberal use of Hypertube Cannons and Pulse Nobelisks. There is even quite a bit of lore and some story to be experienced, although those are clearly not the focus - but what is there is quite well done. Uniquely it also sports one of the best, most extensive ever settings options I've seen in a videogame starting with proper FOV sliders all the way up to individual volume settings for different sound sources. The sheer breadth of quality of life features is in my opinion unprecedented and deserves to be lauded. I only have a few relatively minor complaints - first of all the very early game suffers from lack of convenience options during building - buildings themselves are quite large and there is no good way besides going up Lookout Towers to properly see what you are building. Second issue is that there are a few hard-coded keybinds such as B being a flashlight switch but only in build mode (who even came up with this?) and F key not working if you are within a locomotive and have F key bound to exit vehicle function. Utterly bizzare but can be worked around. Optimization is quite decent as well. The baseline for good performance is somewhat high but the performance degradation caused by extensive building is very gradual and quite reasonable. Late game runs much better on my rig than Rimworld which is shocking considering that Rimworld is a 2D game. So who is this game not for? Satisfactory is not for players looking for an externally imposed challenge - there is barely any danger in the world, no survival mechanics except player health and combat is kind of bare bones and can be turned off entirely. Resources nodes do not run out and the worst that could happen to you is inventory loss on death - which can be turned off in the settings. It really is the game about building and automation, exploration and traversal and not much besides that. But it is downright excellent at what it does do. Highly recommended.

This prison to hold me?
