Honestly? Try crack instead - it's probably healthier and less addictive.

This game is a work of love, I have been blessed to see satisfactory grow in development and content for 5 years now. And I have been playing this game religiously every year in hopes to have a chill time and see all the fresh content. And it has not disappointed me ever since 2020.

The game is profoundly amazing, alot of reviewers will own up to suddenly becoming addicted - dedicating their hours in such a short time frame. Because playing satisfactory is enjoyable, the game absolutely respects your time and rewards you for putting the work into your factories. Sure, you can beeline straight to endgame with spaghetti belts and a random assortment of factory layouts. The game absolutely does not punish you if you do the wrong or suboptimal thing. But it does reward you if you make it more efficient (and if you make it more aesthetically pleasing).

The game is very chill - the progression is straightforward as the game tells you what you need to progress and highlights the tools to do it. The technology trees, the main progression milestones, logistics expansion. This game truly offers that addictive gameplay dopamine loop.

The gameplay bounces back and forth between world exploration and factory building. You can spend hours exploring the world, destroying the local fauna, abducting power snails, and harvesting alien proteins from the natives - and just simply go back to work on your factories. Kinda tired of building factories? Then go back to exploring, but this time you now have newly built rifles and nukes capable of destroying generations of wildlife at your mercy.

The chase of this game is to build factories (large or small), the secondary objectives are:
1. Making your factories beautiful.
2. Making your factories efficient.
3. Connecting your factory to other factories without it being a headache.

This is essentially the holy triangle of satisfactory, I'd personally argue that #3 is the hardest one to master in this game. Streamlining your factory layouts and carefully planning out your logistics are by far the highest "skill expression" you'll have in this game. There is something here for everyone. If engineering, automation, and architecture is your jam - then this is not jam, this is crack cocaine on dial 11.

The game is easily one of the best games in the genre, and a well acclaimed game backed by the community because the developers are transparent, open-minded, and well-receptive to community feedback. Something that is lacking in the game development space nowadays. I assure you - this development team is the gold standard.

I truly wish this game to see more success and will always check out their major updates every once in a while.

10/10. I have made more nukes in this game than the the wildlife population of the world, the game gives me a beautiful world to build upon - and proceeds to tell me to build an amazon warehouse over it. Enjoyable, satisfactory even. :D
