My first factory game, and i can tell you, IT IS AMAZING.

i hesitated from buying Factorio because of its graphics, this game obviously fixed this issue.
The graphics here are absolutely fantastic. For such a complex game, it also is well optimized!

This game's tutorial is one of the best one's I have ever seen. I would feel good about throwing a person who barely used a Computer in their life into this game and playing the tutorial.

Afterwards the game got me hooked and i had to learn a hard lesson. My inner spirit wanted me to progress as fast as possible, and to unlock everything as soon as i could manage.
This ended up in me unlocking sooo many technologies that i didn't thoroughly understand.
My advice to you (the potential reader) to take it slow, unlock things as you need them, and only if boredom starts kicking in, to unlock a cool new technology.

In terms of Content, (currently in Update 4) it took me around 140 hours to unlock everything and about 250 hours until i automated every essential part. (as you see, I'm trying not to spoil anything here). So Content in this game is definitely not an issue.

However in order to also contribute some negatives:
although this game does have plenty of content, Satisfactory doesn't go as much into depth as Factorio does. (As evaluated by some of my friends, who played both games)

Also some features that are in other factory games, that are currently missing in Satisfactory might never arrive in this game.
To give an example, a feature that i would really love in this game is the Blueprint feature, that allows you to copy parts of your factory and paste them somewhere else.
Sadly the Community Managers already stated, that they are hesitating of putting this feature into Satisfactory, because it doesn't fit their style.
To be fair, their concern is definitely valid, however i would love to see that feature still added to the game for one simple reason: It would incentivize me to put more time into designing beautiful factories, instead of just building something that's ugly but works.

In terms of Pricing, it is currently selling for 30€. If you are a Factory Game enjoyer, this is an absolute fair price and i would definitely recommend buying this game.
If you are a new player that doesn't know if this game is for you, waiting for a Discount for <24€ is advised. I've seen the game on HumbleBundle for 20€ already, that's a steal!

Conclusion:
As you can already tell by my playtime, i absolutely fell in love with this game.
Despite it being in Early Access, this Game has a TON of content to explore, build and utilize. (Talk about Early Access done right!)
Compared to other factory games like Factorio, Hydroneer etc. It does fall short on features, however each feature that does make it into this Game, is highly polished and thoroughly implemented. I'm looking forward for more Content and QoL improvements in the next updates, an absolute must buy for every Player that enjoys factory games or simply wants to check one out, This game (in my opinion) is the best Factory game to start off with!
