“I only play games on controller. The controller support was not perfect but good enough to finish Satisfactory 1.1 in ~200 hours. Including all steam achievements. It's a weird mixture of fun and work, highly recommend.”
“My favorite automation game of all time. A delightful mix of exploration, building and spaghetti making with a little bit of a threat from the fauna.”
“Satisfactory.. It brought back my insomnia It brought back my back pain It brought back my game addiction With that said, spent 1000 hours in this game, on my 4th playthrough and haven't finished the game yet. It's a…”

“No wonder the game is called Satisfactory since it's a very satisfying game for your brain beyond being a management game. This game is ''insanely'' HUGE and all you want to do is using your brain while reaching your…”

“This game was like a drug. The game is very well optimized, and the progression is great. It took me 200 hours to "beat" and theres still tones left for me to do. If you love automation, open world exploration or…”

“First ever game review, and honestly, this one deserves it. I’ve had Satisfactory for just under 5 weeks and I’ve already clocked 170 hours (most new games I get is usually about 30). Realistically, if I counted the…”

“Satisfactory is such a well done game, and it's a great choice for anyone interested in an automation or factory building kind of game because it's very easy to pick up but offers so much depth as well! It's much more…”
“Super jeux, c'est tres simple à comprendre mais beaucoup plus compliqué à tout mettre en oeuvre correctement. Le véritable objectif de ce jeux, c'est de réussir à se persuader que son usine est fini et qu'on n'a plus…”
“"I spent 10 hours perfectly aligning a single row of constructors just so I could watch the conveyor belts move in unison. 10/10, would lose my social life again." The Good: First-person automation is a game-changer.…”

“Better than expected, performance is great, the game is immersive and the factory must be rebuilt for more efficiency. i was not into factory games before this one, this game changed my mind, i would recommend for…”
“I'm not a big fan of the factory automation genre but this game is at the pinnacle of that genre and I had a blast playing it. I did the whole playthrough multiplayer with a friend. It took us about 280 hours to get…”

“This is one of the best factory games out there. I like how simple it is to build rails lol the building system gives the middle finger to the laws of physics. You want a converour belt running out of a rock? You got…”
“The building aspect of this game is actually quite nice, and it works well if you enjoy 3D environments. However, everything else feels unnecessarily complex and frustrating. Placing belts in a "legal" manner relies…”
“This is a solid game it makes me happy. Literally my only gripe is that your blueprint system is limited in volume. The unlimited nature of the blueprint tool in other games makes this hurt. Other than that a AI who…”

“If you are OCD, DO NOT BUY. They've broken the "Straight Construction Mode" for belts with the 1.1 release (10 months ago), this means that when you use it to draw a belt that does a 90° curve, you'll get a wobbly curve…”

“Great game, very deep and good building mechanics. If you like Subnautica, it's similar in exploration and story-telling, but bigger world and deep factory building mechanics. The progression system, and quality of life features are well thought out.”

Starting with humble beginnings, while crafting everything by hand, you suddenly unlock your first automation and your brain is wanting more. Several hours later you realise it's a whole…”
