10/10 game
Solo with bots is fun to mess around in
Casual with bots helps simplify the game
Played full server as Germans invading
Gave me the WWII experience I always wanted
and PTSD
but,
Cest La Vie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This review is late. Very late. To preface; I bought the game a long time back, for some substantially low amount, during a sale. I hadn't played much when I did get it, and now, as of writing this, I've "Finished it". Though the game has no end, there no reason to keep playing. By "Finished it" I of course mean I've now gotten all the achievements. All 8 of them. A concerningly low amount for a game that is about solving complex puzzles. However, they're not real puzzles. I call them that because having to figure out the most efficient way to make something is a challenge in and of itself in this game.

Tl;Dr (for those who even read this games reviews)
Game isn't fun because game isn't long and overtly challenging at the end.

The achievements I am going to be referring to as If they were missions. Though there are different ways to start a save, the only one worthwhile are timed challenges, as that makes you actually think about component placement, but other than that Sandbox is what I played the most, cause its easier to get achievements in.
"Missions"
The first is simple. A tutorial, If you will. And i mean, literally, because the 'help' section in the game shows how to make it. Make 100 Bricks. They are the first thing you'll ever make, and the most effectively cheap way to farm cash. Easy production, simple ingredients, faster speeds, Papa Brickolini. (If you get that I am proud)

The second is a bit better, but still easy enough for new players. Make 100 Watches, Fast, simple, and I forgot how the process goes but i remember it being easy.

The third gets a little more advanced. Make 100 Bicycles, the first to make use of rubber,, which has its own assembly line, and pretty average of a puzzle.

The fourth Introduces the complexities of machinery, electrical components, and is a straight forward intro into these mechanics. Make 100 RC Helicopters, this one makes you think about placements more, and teaches you that there's more to a factory, and all components that have been made can be used to make more things.

The fifth is really easy, if you know how recycling and inventory works. Make 100 Costumes, relatively shows that now you should be using the inventory system unlocked from the research tab. How researching works i cant say, due to sand boxing. Its a simple task under the guise of confusing production means.

The sixth is where the difficulty ramps substantially, and delves into the realm of actually thinking critically. Make 100 Home Consoles, tells you to abuse the inventory so that your rooms don't get clogged and congested. Teleporters can also help if you want to use a few rooms to mass produce components, but they serve more as a way to transport things in the same room or across from one to the next with the disadvantage of requiring space where inventory input and outputs need walls.

Now seventh just gets rude with how much you have to offsite produce components just to slowly make one thing you need and wait for it to be made over and over and over again. Make 100 VR Headsets, is a daunting task. Daunting as in tedious and annoying. Having to make more rooms to mass produce the same circuit boards because to make the Ult. circuit you need 20, and if you forgotten about recycling, now it comes into play again. Unless you need batteries before this, then you've been using it.

The eighth and last is the most annoying to do, because of already stated features. Make 100 Robots, wastes your time more than all of these. Waiting and waiting for another component to be made is annoying and aggravating. And attempting to make more is more tedious than counting all the grains of sand in a fishbowl.

Things that should be added:
-Upgrade existing machines (I.e. spend money on either higher quality ones that produce faster, or upgrade existing ones)
-Buy Components directly (I.e. buy the pieces you don't want to waste your time producing, or some sort of delivery service that you can use to order things, like pre-made low and mid range components)
-Add more achievements (this would make my review longer and play time aswell, but the achievements are the only reason I came back)
-Make a story or at least better goals. Having to make X amount of Y in Z days isn't really fun, a story or even characters would make the experience a tad more enjoyable)

That's all I have to say about Factory Engineer, a short, overpriced, annoying puzzle game.

Dont have the hours to back up my review, but I played this a ton in offline, and can say that it was a blast.


Edit: bought the game, you should too

Another banger from Ubisoft! Who needs actual content when you can get skins and loot packs for 10$ usd a month!!!

Well...

Its a game.
Not Metal gear,
but game


I liked MGSv and enjoyed its story. The gameplay was fun (if not repetative at times) and the ability to go around in a free roam mode was great. Now how that'll transfer over to this game I cannot say. From the 2 games ive actually managed to play (and not randomly disconnect from) the game is fun if you like grinding and tower defense (so far, its a beta). Since the game isnt out yet, there isnt much to say, other than I hope its good.

Theres no "probably if you want" option but I'll reccomend it so that you try it for yourself

I'd been wanting this game forever, and now that i've 100%'ed the game, i can say without a doubt that this is a great 7-8 hour expereince of fun and enjoyment

Friend got me game. Waste of money. Programmings terrible, and pixel perfect jumps are then saviour of this broken GameMaker pro school project...

I would say I just got it for the Payday 2 character, but from playing it, if I didnt already know about this story and the deeper meanings, I would have drowned myself in all of the lore in an instant.

Lol they added more dlc to this trash heap

This game is sad
