I went into Satisfactory expecting to get bored of it pretty quickly. Factory games aren't normally something I play, and I'd never played one before. Instead, I was surprised by how ridiculously addictive it became. The basic loop of building production lines, figuring out where something is going wrong, improving efficiency, and then inevitably tearing apart my spaghetti and re-kajiggering everything kept me constantly engaged. Hours just disappear because there's always another problem to think through or another part of the factory I want to improve. It's also a surprisingly chill game. It can get complicated as hell, but most of the time I wasn't stressed, I was just thinking. There's something extremely satisfying about coming up with an idea, building it out, and eventually watching the whole mess actually work. I'm definitely not playing optimally, but figuring things out for myself was a huge part of the fun. I also thought the world looked gorgeous from the beginning. This is honestly one of those games that's much more fun to play than it probably looks to watch because so much of the enjoyment comes from having your own brain occupied by whatever ridiculous system you're trying to build. There are some annoyances. Certain systems felt less intuitive than others, particularly pipes, and the ladder mechanics are weirdly wonky. I had enough trouble reliably getting onto ladders that they could actually get me hurt or killed, which feels pretty silly for something games figured out a long time ago. I've also had plenty of moments where some part of my factory wasn't behaving how I expected and figuring out why became frustrating. The early juggling of power and fuel had me constantly dealing with blown fuses and running around trying to keep everything operating. None of that came close to outweighing how much I enjoyed the core factory mechanics, though. This definitely isn't going to be for everybody. If the idea of spending a huge amount of time making resources so you can make other resources, staring at production rates, rebuilding things, and trying to squeeze more efficiency out of an increasingly absurd factory sounds boring, it very well might be. I thought I'd find it boring too. Instead, I've enjoyed it immensely. It's super engaging, extremely addictive, and just a really fun game to sit down with and lose hours to.

700 hours later, I wish I could complain about something in this game, but unfortunately, Ficsit would penalize me for not being efficient enough. Anyway, you should buy this game. Do this for humanity. And for the puppies and kittens.
