It's fun, relaxing gameplay. However, there's less than an hour of gameplay, so bear that in mind.

Quite fun mix of platforming and fighting. Maybe a bit short if it's full price, but on sale totally worth it.

This is probably the best factory game I've ever played. It nails the core gameplay loop in a way no other factory game really has. It has wonderfully subtle pushes to get you to play the "right" way, yet absolutely never forces you to play a certain way. The light mixing of exploration and combat help keep things varied. First person is an unusual perspective for factory games, but Satisfactory absolutely nails it. Your progressing movement abilities mean you can always feel the scale of your ever growing factories, but never get quite bogged down or overwhelmed by them.

Satisfactory will go down as one of the classics of the genre, so what are you waiting for? Get out there and Construct, Automate, Explore & Exploit!

Fun, solid performance, and good visuals. The campaign offers a variety of challenges and ways to solve those challenges. User created maps offer pretty unlimited replayability.

Good ideas, implemented in consistently the worst way possible.

The battlepass, which hasn't been a remotely good deal in years, gets worse and worse. Every season is a worse deal than the previous one.

The economy is as bad as ever. For ground vehicles, even with premium, it will take you hundreds of hours to make remotely decent progress. All while dealing with a plethora of bugs.

The game balance, to put it mildly, somehow gets worse with every change. And if things are better for one vehicle, rest assured it's become worse for two more.

The game modes haven't changed, ever. No improvements, no innovation, nothing.

They've added so many copy and paste vehicles that the different nations no longer feel unique, which used to be a big draw.

Events have become more and more of a grindfest. It takes several hours a day for two weeks for what used to take less than an hour every couple of days.

A simple, fun game that I find quite relaxing

Single player campaign is terrible, crashes constantly, and looks terrible even on highest settings.

Leans more arcadey than realistic. Still quite a bit more realistic than many single player competitors. AI teammates are actually useful.

A great intersection of realism and arcadey gameplay.

I tried to revisit this after abandoning it a while ago. Instant regret. The "weight" that rockstar has given to everything feels disgusting. Arthur handles like a shopping cart. The aiming experience feels like when you're trying to run in your sleep but can't.
