    Players, now also on Switch, get their hands on a high-quality Czech game with very complex management and logistics. However, due to the less comfortable console controls, the PC version appears to be a better choice.

    It’s not hard to lose hours to Factorio, and if you can forgiver the visuals, you’ll have a ball throwing yourself into your work.

    Like the gears in an engine, everything in Factorio has a purpose. There is little in terms of extras here but what is present in this factory management sim does its job beautifully. Despite some issues with the way the Switch port is presented and controls, these are minor issues in an otherwise stellar game that will have you obsessing over the best possible layout for your factory or wanting to keep playing to see what the next research tree unlocks.

The game itself is amazing, and the devs did an outstanding job of porting a very rich UI to the console platform. There are a couple of minor things I thought were awkward, but mostly I've just been enjoying the whole experience.… Full Review »

Controls are a bit uncomfortable at first but you will get the hang of it. Very impressive that they managed to map out every action on the switch’s buttons. Can’t wait for similar games like oxygen not included and Rimworld to follow Factorio and make switch ports. One last thing, the intro to this game is amazing. You the games basics to this game as you do the different levels. It takes sometime but after your first play through the intro, you are ready to play on your own.

It's the very same game you get on PC, only without mods (which confuse an already confusing game for most anyway) and the obvious change, controls. This was a worry for me initially, and while it took some time to get used to the new layout, now that I am, it's second nature. Everything else is more or less exactly as youd remember it. Performance is perfectly fine on a mid to high level factory, so far.… Full Review »
