Early Access Review
Great Game - You should play blind

Abiotic Factor is a well put together game, it has a fun theme of being stuck in a lab with monsters and trying to survive. It's a lot different from your usual survive outside in the wild game.

The core mechanics of the game is good, a lot of the things make sense from electricity, weapons, traps, tools. Everything can easily be put together without having to look into a wiki. The game itself doesn't hold your hand but it's not too difficult that it needs to. Progression is locked by story content, you will have to build and go to certain areas to progress.

If you're a loot goblin, this game will be for you. Literally everything has a use, there's not one thing that isn't needed. There is certain debuffs you get throughout the game, such as being filthy, needing to go to the bathroom, or being tired and needing to sleep. In most games, this can be an annoying mechanic but in Abiotic Factor they're not as a nuisance and can be actually really funny in certain scenarios if you're playing with friends. You'll have starting points to make your character similar to project zomboid which adds an extra slice of fun to your character.

I highly recommend playing Abiotic Factor especially blind, there's just so many fun moments you'll have by not sifting through a wiki. This is the first game where I really tried not to look for answers, the game is very logical. I'm excited for 1.0 release, even in EA you'll get a ton of content so try it out and support the creators.
