    I've ONLY played the Switch version of this game, and I think playing on PC and hating the Switch version is just plain unfair to the game.I've ONLY played the Switch version of this game, and I think playing on PC and hating the Switch version is just plain unfair to the game. 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.

    Be ware for this game consumes your time…
    because the factory must grow.

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 »
