Reviews
The Game looks good... However, there's two things that should be improved... the sound is too low on the Ambiance, and the Voice lines, and the SFX... If the sound volume was higher I woould be able to become more immersed in the game and with the atmosphere... and the second thing that would be a great improvement is fixing how exiting the crafting menu works... every time i exit the TAB / Crafting window, the game puts me as if i wanna build something, and i gotta press Q to cancel... but other than that... so far its a cool experience...
300 hours of fun game play ruin by a dumb ending. Devs literally needed to put a few more hours of work in and this would have been one of my favorite games of all time. I was annoyed as its like the last page of you book is missing.

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.

Worst factory game I've ever played, very little QOL if any, the alternate recipes might as well be useless, and the game hangs a choice for you in the ending but doesn't even give it to you when you reach said goal
disappointing 1.0 transition
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.
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
Honestly I would have preferred them just properly abandoning the game instead of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ out a under-cooked "1.0", that by all metrics is an unfinished game, and with features that reek of changing the game for consoles so they could get a few more sales from gullible idiots. I had stopped playing because I was hoping to come back to an awesome FULL GAME, and I had come back to a butchered game, and a "1.0" that feels like a middle finger from the developers. I'm never buying from these devs in the future, as they clearly don't care about the game they were making, or the players of their games.
Even the developer's (Fire Hose Games) website is left with dead links while boasting about passion, fun, and customer satisfaction. RIP bozos.
Have not touched this since they announced the laser tag, RBG, and big head update. They had a great potential, but threw it all away when they couldn't figure out if their were a factory game, or a shooter/arcade game. I haven't heard anything good since, and many people say they rushed it to 1.0 since the game caught heat for just suddenly deviating from their poor choice in updates. I would not recommend this game on a good sale.
This game is a rug pull. They promised more, even had a road map, but then they deleted it all and claimed the game was done. F that.
