    This game is not for everyone. It can feel grindy, especially when you are new.

    But man, is it the perfect game for me. I have 900 hours in this game. I still haven't mastered it.

    The factory must grow!

    The graphics may not be very appealing at first, but it's a game that will make your brain work hard, and that's what I love about it.

    You'll probably try something simple and it won't work, try again, improve, improve again.

    At some point you might get bored about building stuff, but then you'll get trains, and then again you'll get drones, and the you'll leverage the power of blueprints!

    Those three things are literally a game changer!

    And if it's not enough you can add mods, that may tweak a bit the game, or improve it a lot, or change it/make it harder/add more stuff to build..

    And if it's not enough, you have challenged to accomplish!

    You'll spend hundreds of hours on this game!    … Expand

    You'll either play this less than 4 hours or you'll be playing till 4 am.
    Before you start, set an alarm for food and then a couple more for getting ready for work/school in the morning.
    This is not a joke, set alarms, it's this addictive. #TheFactoryMustGrow #Cracktorio

    I added Factorio on my Steam wish list a few years ago. Typically I'll wait until games go on sale and almost never pay full price. About a year ago, a coworker of mine convinced me I needed to go ahead and buy the game at full price even in early access and give it a try. Let me tell you, that was a great decision.

    A couple dozen hours in, I was hooked. 300+ hours in, I'm breath taken.    I added Factorio on my Steam wish list a few years ago.

    This is my first written review on Metacritic. I did it just for Factorio. Looking back, this game has been worth hundreds of dollars of enjoyment to me. The least I could do is give them a good review since they have now entered full release. Give this game a try, and enough time to learn the mechanics, and you will quickly learn why the factory must grow.    … Expand

I also like how this game can be enjoyed by casuals who finish the game via a huge belt-spaghetti mess as well as the hardcore programmer who finetuned his megabase with open excel spreadsheets, blueprints, ingame logicgates and thousands of robots alike. How you play is up to you and it feels really rewarding once you successfully solve logistic problems in your own way and seeing it come to fruition.

    There aren't really any negatives I could think of outside of obvious design choices, e.g. there isn't really any story to speak of other than "you crashed on an unknown planet - build a rocket". Creative players especially will have a blast as well as anyone who likes logical problem solving. Overall fun and hard not to recommend.    … Expand

Or when you finally complete that 400th solar array -or 3rd nuclear power plant- and finally stop getting the low power alerts you've had since you pasted that beaconed factory blueprint. Few activities have me looking up from the game and panicking over how much time I just spent straightening out my railroad system, and very few games ever actually make me feel successful or accomplished when I finally click quit.

    At this point I now have over 1,000 hours tracked on steam, and at least a few hundred before it got added to steam. I cannot possibly recommend this game enough, from so many different perspectives.

    The only negative thing I see people mention that I can agree with at all is how tedious it can get far into a save - but that honestly 100% comes down to how well you balance your activities of adding resources, expanding your factory, etc; once you have some more time in the game, you can balance those things much better and no tedious feelings really come up so much anymore.    … Expand

    In its core Factorio is a factory building game. It gives you easy tools like inserters which grab items and belts which move them and they can be combined in endless creative ways to build bigger and more complex factories. A big difference to other games is that you can easily build very big factories and still maintain performance and actually do research with those materials.
    The game has very good modding support since day one and the modding community came up with very great mods which can overhaul the game and make it more complex or easier by adding convenience functions.

    11/10. This game is a drug. Please don't play it, it's addictive.

    Jokes aside, this game is the most fun I've had in ages. You can program basically everything. The lore, atmosphere, difficulty is just on point. It's like minecraft in a foreign planet.

    its a 2d game about strategy, planning, management, logistics, balance, and automation, all rolled into a fun symphony. and if that wasn't enough for you, there's aliens that are angry you're on their planet and will try to destroy your base.

    it can be very complex in its execution, and i strongly recommend having a fellow veteran player nearby to show you the ropes without crushing your creativity, as a new player will get math headaches playing this game and really thinking about it. it can be overwhelming, and this is perhaps also a slight detractor for the game, as it will only really appeal to people who want to peel back the layers and be determined to 'guess and check' so to speak.

    everything in the game is customizable, adding a ton of quality of life. modding is simplicity itself, and the full set of tools is available from the dev website. browsing mods is done through in-game menu, and installation is a breeze.

    your game-play loop is to construct a factory to build a rocket to take you back up into space, where supposedly you can be safe, or something. leave the planet. that kind of thing. and getting there depends on you.

    there are no 'wrong' answers in factorio, simply less efficient answers.

    at first, you must mine some ore and coal by hand to get your first few basic systems running. after that, you'll have hydrocarbon miners to mine ore for you as you move it to the areas it needs to be.

    and then soon, electronic systems take their places, automated trains, drones, and transport belts are all there to mass transport your products to the next phase of refinement.

    will you run a balanced factory, an overproduction factory, a highly organized alphabetic production system, or a factory that just works? it's all up to you.

    once your factory build starts to reach a certain point, it begins to reduce your frame-rate, but most players will never see this. you have to be producing over 1M per hour of almost every product, and have a large integrated rail system to start reaching this point. you may reach this point sooner if you have enemies enabled. (yes they can be disabled, almost anything can be disabled. its a true sandbox builder.)

    from a code standpoint, i have never had this game crash with its default install, and it is one of the most technically sound pieces of software i've had on my system. it barely sips your pc power, and settings are available to help it run on systems with lower specifications. like if you use a laptop for travel, factorio can give you some diversion without destroying your wallet.

    Si Factorio était un morceau de musique, il lui faudrait tout un orchestre. Car Factorio est l’apothéose du jeu d’usine et de création de base, et à moins de quatre-vingts musiciens, on ne rendrait pas justice à la profondeur vertigineuse de son contenu. Il faudrait aussi que tous les instrumentistes soient des virtuoses, car Factorio sonne juste du début à la fin, sans aucune fausse note.Si Factorio était un morceau de musique, il lui faudrait tout un orchestre.

    Logistic simulation gone mental. Graphics are crazy bad, but that is not why I play. I play to build.

    Unlike my social life since I found this game, the factory must grow.

    I've played many automation/colony builder games and there is nothing as deep and complex as this game. A single playthrough can easily be 200 - 300 hours long if you're actually trying to "finish" the game, but the reality is it's pretty much endless and that's before you even get into mods.

    le seul problème de factorio est son manque d'histoire et en ce qui me concerne, le fait qu'une fois que j'ai trouvé une bonne façon de fonctionner, le jeu ne m'intéresse pas assez pour l'améliorer et donc je la répète en boucle. A part ça, le jeu m'a procuré plus d'un millier d'heures de fun.

Because of the fantastic modding community, the game offers basically an infinite amount of gameplay. The only bad thing i can think about this game is that it can mess with your real life because it is so addicting.
