“I would give this a thumbs up for fun idea, Pikman and Factorio combined in one. Thumbs down would be the nonsensical LGBT rainbow garbage and dlc. I'm not sure why they thought adding all of that sexual orientation…”

“i wish i can put this into a "Mixed" because it does take a lOoOOoOOng time for the game to be good. its not a bad game, its just that you have to be patient a bit. - and after playing a couple of hours, you felt like…”
“The game reminds me of the pikmin series in a way, but mix it with factorio The art direction is really nice and different from the si-fi brutalist i'm used of seing”

“Solid progression, not as much calculating as needed for Satisfactory but can go deep if needed. And trains are way easier to manage!”

“First and foremost, if you have not played Satisfactory, do yourself a favor and go play that instead. There are many better games in the genre: Shapez Factory 2, Factorio, Omega Crafter, etc. And many genre-adjacent…”
“Great automation game with Pikmin elements. Works perfectly on Steam Deck.”
“Such a fun game, especially building a world with a friend online. Nice automation, nice animation, runs smoothly, I'm 18hrs in and it's really cool.”

“If you are looking for a cozy yet deeply engaging automation fix, Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure is an absolute delight. It manages to balance the complexity of factory building with a charm that is often missing…”
“Really fun little automation game, kind of like a mix of Factorio and Pikmin, great co-op experience as well. This is kind of game that if you like it, it feels like it's tailor made for you.”
“First time dropping a review on any game, but I can say without a doubt this game is fantastic! My GF and I picked up the game since we were looking for a co-op building game and completely lost track of time getting…”

“This feels so unintentionally clunky because of poor design choices, I can't recommend it at all. You have very limited slots for "what kind of minions" you can equip, so to optimize anything you need to CONSTANTLY swap…”
“It seems like work life, when you think that you are evolving and accomplishing, the game comes and makes everything 1000X harder. I'm playing with 2 friends, each one doing one task, as it is still frustrating. I have…”

“Pretty fun game but I'm currently stuck in tier 3 due to enemies I need to kill for a quest not spawning in after killing them. I've ran through the entire woodlands area a dozen times at this point and don't feel like…”

“I consider this a cozy factory builder, intended more for new players to the genre. It's intentionally slow paced, and any attempt at building a statistically perfect factory is blocked at every turn by the game design. The game itself actually has a lot of depth thanks to the…”
— a player, Steam review · 99 hrs played“I enjoyed the demo of this game, and the full version has some improvements (like having chests full of aether sparks, so you don't need to grind 50 mobs at the start of the game). That said, it will be free on Epic from 4-30-26 through 5-7-26, so maybe get it there and give it…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“Disappointed, the game looked cute and I had been waiting for it ever since I saw the promotional video, but its restrictive compared to other games in the automation genre I have played, making it not fun. You can only build oddspark factories on specific spots, limiting how…”
