The motion gives me motion sickness and is difficult to track and follow. The graphics look nice but I can't play a game that's visually super wobbly and difficult to control. I have 12th gen i7 16GB Iris so my computer shouldn't be a problem.
Tragically while this game was great in early access and iterating rapidly, the 'full' release is littered with half finished ideas/overdone mechanics, and what I can only describe as straight up wrong ratios. The worst could be cleaned up relatively easily but the devs are done so I can't really recommend it in its current state.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

ひたすらに生産施設を作り続けるゲーム プレイ時間が550時間だが終わる気がしない スタジオが閉鎖しているので最適化はされない 基本的に動作はカクカク それでもひたすらに作り続けるのだ
IT WAS A GOOD GAME BEFORE THE STARTING POINT PICKAXE GOT REMOVED SOMEHOW NOW ITS UNPLAYABLE. ON THE COMPUTER VERSION ANYWAY
I am upset with how the early access made the game so good but once in was fully released with all the changes applied I just couldn't play it as it is now. I feel too much restraint playing this and not enough freedom. 4.5/10
This game is literally a marvel technically. They have 10s of thousands of moving items, always going. The game is quite addictive, so i was glad there was an ending. I highly recommend it. Good story, good graphics, bug free
An engrossing factory game with a smattering of story, plenty of searching for loot, and lots of exploration. It has its frustrations. The tech tree can get overwhelming and badly needs a search function. It can be easy to get stuck and feel as if you cannot progress any further because you've missed scanning an item (or so you think) or you think the game is bugged. I tried four times to progress the X-Ray level and on the fourth attempt the barrier that I had previously encountered was gone due to understanding the tech tree better. Some of the crafting trees and systems seem poorly explained. But once the 'penny drops' and you understand the tech tree better it all comes together. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable game with the occasional moment of surmountable frustration. Well worth the money and considerable time investment.
the dev have ruined an awesome game by making a new map, before it was one big map now there is a elevator to get to the next place and that ruins alot of the game i am not gonna play this game again and if Fire Hose Games makes new game im not gonna buy them and i would recomend people not to buy games from them i would recomend it if they did so we could play the old map the new map are not even done, i tryed digging one way, got to a wall it said i could not break, and then i just digged 3 meters to the side and then i could get passed and you could see you were not ment to go there, i would recomend people to play Satisfactory insted of this
Yes I would recommend it. It is an engrossing game with a lot of moving parts. No enemies so far which is a great part of the appeal.
The game is perfect. Beautiful and has one of the best sounds. Up until you hit "blast" tech then the game makes you miserable. and kills your will to live. Play satisfactory or any other similar games. This is not worth your time.
