“Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “Our plans are for this EA stage to be about 1 year long." 5 years later and we're still in early access. It's fun and all, but I just want to play finished…”
“Hi game devs! I'll start by saying this is a great game. I don't think I would have 2K+ hours playing it otherwise. It's a great factory builder, set across multiple star systems and planets. Even if you don't stick…”
“Very fun factory building game. The visuals of each solar system are gorgeous. The construction systems are really fun and satisfying. My only negative criticism is that there is no cloud saving so you can't play the…”

“Amazing game with thousands of hours of content, large learning curve but then you feel like a genius when you get it down and it just has something for everyone, play this if you like factory builders but are to scared…”
“I am currently having a great time because of the different features in this game. I can recommend this game in its early access state, especially with the amount of quality content it has right now. Dyson Sphere…”

“Beautifully crafted looking game.... 10/10 just a bit odd crafting at the beginning, a small twists on crafting but not a roadblock or a turn around... 9/10”

“This is an absolutely fantastic factory game! I just love it. It seems to combine the best parts of the other three great factory games: The free three dimensions from Satisfactory, the puzzles and blueprints from…”
“Its an interstellar factory game, and its never the same game twice. There is a reason its one of the big 3 factory games”
“One of the few games that I revisit, 198 hours in and I'm still not at true endgame content yet. Farm the dark fog, explore new star systems, contribute to the Dyson swarm.”

“Outstanding game - learning curve is manageable and the flexibility of the resource gathering and management makes the game open for different ways to set up your supply chains - very rewarding game overall.”
“It was a giant mistake that I bought this game: now I have no life and I must scream. I must build the factory, I haven't seen grass in ages. Jokes aside, it's a great game. If you like factory games, this is a…”

“This game bounced off me the first time I tried to get into it. There's been a few frustration spikes since, but with a bit of familiarity, some Nilaus videos, and a lot of trial and error, this game has become a…”

“If I had played Dyson Sphere Program before Satisfactory or Factorio I'd probably be giving it a positive review. It has that same automation hooks that tickle the programmer part of my brain. But after 6 hours I'm just…”
“26.8 hours in one week. Yeah, it's that good. Honestly didn't expect to get this hooked. The building just feels right - nothing clunky, nothing frustrating, it all clicks. And the progression keeps pulling you forward.…”
“Amazing game for anyone who loves automatization. The logistics explanations and some of the help throughout the game is needed, kinda wish they would explain some stuff better like accessing the logistic of everything…”

“Game is good, but could use some quality of life improvements... such as when clicking to place a building and you have 0 left, it should craft some.”

“its a bit clunky at times, but the UI is very intuitive and the level of control is very scaleable”
“There are some wonky control issues IMO, but the game is engaging and the hours disappear.”
“This isn't factorio. This game is it's own beast. Factorio does some things better. Dyson does others better. The hotkeys and Ui could be better. I find the blueprint system is very finicky compared to Factorio which…”

Dyson Sphere Program has consumed my sense of time) I had a bit of experience with Satisfactory, but quit early because building and movement felt clunky. DSP seemed like a cleaner take on the genre, and at first, it absolutely…”
