You're going to make him lick everything, and it's worth it every time. XD

We did it. Helldivers are one of the most incredible, and passionate gaming communities out there, and we united to prevent friends from being removed from the game due to Sony's unnecessary PSN requirement which they have since rolled back.

This game is an incredibly good time that countless great people across the world play. Highly recommended. Simple as that, as long as Sony and Arrowhead continue to listen to the players, there's no reason to say otherwise.

Original Negative Review:

The forced Sony account is frankly unnecessary, for any reason, but even more so if it was such a "critical" aspect of the game, it should have been there from the start when people could refund the game after realising they wouldn't be able to play it.

The way this has gone down, it just stinks of bait and switch and the literal theft of money from countless people who have to accept they won't be able to play the game.

Never mind the fact that Sony's cybersecurity track record has more dirt on it than the local pig farm. Your creds and details will more than likely be leaked by them, probably repeatedly.

A shame. Fun game ruined by miserable corporate practice.

A reasonably fun factory management, expansion and optimisation game, if challenging. The nature of the car market usually means you're not far from bankruptcy, and realising it's about to hit can be a bit of a frustrating challenge as cars that were previously selling perfectly suddenly sit idle on your showroom floor. It's also extremely easy to expand too fast and lock all your money into unfinished vehicles on your production line.

All said, none of this is the games fault per se, but part of the interesting adventure of learning how to run a proper vehicle factory and move from strength to strength. If you like those kinds of well detailed optimisation games, you'll like this one.

It is however, a little buggy occasionally. I have had two crashes and one broken save so in 13 hours of gameplay, but have otherwise enjoyed it thoroughly.

Super fun and satisfying city builder and space management. I thoroughly enjoyed the setting and universe building in this, and how thoroughly unique it felt.

It's not a perfect experience for sure, but if you enjoy city building and population management, space, unique settings or the citizen morale mechanics of Frostpunk, there's probably something for you here.

The game definitely had some challenging aspects at points, but they're not unsurmountable. Much like Frostpunk, technology and forward planning is king. Your first attempts will likely fail if you don't know how to prepare for future calamity, and that preparedness usually boils down to being as technologically advanced as possible to have as many ways to solve your problems as you can.

All in all, I enjoyed it a lot. :)

An awesome time optimising a factory on a splendorous alien planet. If you have a mind that gets a kick out of designing the perfect, well organised and efficient factory, this game is a blast.

And if you're thinking it's just 3D Factorio, nah. While it has a lot of overlap in terms of what makes it fun with Factorio, there's enough here to differentiate itself and give you a unique, distinct, but most importantly fun experience! One of my favourite points is that Satisfactory has a lot of emphasis on the exploration aspect, seeking out new resources and interesting new items in the world in a adventuring/exploration style, which can then be used to improve your factory. A lot of this content is still WIP, but it adds a lot of interest and intrigue to the already beautiful, interesting and massive landscapes the game has to offer despite it's early access state.

All in all, great game. And is pretty great for laid back co-op with a buddy while you talk some nonsense and build the best factory (or a giant pillar into the sky to see if you can get higher than the sky elevator.)

It's pretty good. :D I've not come across many strategy games that are so cohesively put together in terms of atmosphere and gameplay that truly made me feel the desperation of the poor people I'm taking care of.

Seriously, 10 out of 10.
