Finished the entire game in one session. This is a finished game, that feels unfinished in so many moments, that i don't even know where to begin or how to describe it. A mix of satisfying, fun space management, limited bot management challenges, but also frustttttRATING moments, bugs, (time) balancing, game design and questionable progression. It's just, so many times did i go "WHY is this the way it is!", and the answer was almost always "to stretch the game's playtime", which is sad. Like no offense, but even having me on the testing team would've eliminated a LOT of problems the game has that are unnecessary. Sorry to compare it to forager, but forager had some mechanics in place that avoided every frustration i had with this game. It is such a solid idea! And execution as well tbh! Just...not enough polish. Not terrible by any means, just... not enough. 6.5/10
I thought I left a review on this game but apparently not? Fairly simple automation game, artstyle and graphics are fairly charming, and gameplay is decently fun. The bosses and story are mostly just flavour, but getting access to the space station is a pretty good feeling later on. Cons are not too complicated. You're incentivised to put most of your production on the same island, which gets very very cramped late game, and some crafts take too long (eg, 1min per item). The problem is worsened when you can't build several of the same machine, because again, cramped. Besides that though, the game doesn't force any of the minigames and stuff on you, not even if you're aiming for 100%, so that's good for you achievement hunters. However if you want to grind and do absolutely everything there is, you certainly can! 6/10. Overall, this is a pretty accessible chill game, good for newcomers to the automation genre. Nothing special or particularly incredible, but no glaring faults besides some waiting around.
Like another review on here said and I kind of disregarded when purchasing: The endgame does very much fall apart. Buy this on sale, there's a lot of charm and fun here. +You get a very enjoyable ~20 hours of gameplay and an "ending". +You can very easily get all but three achievements, just from playing naturally. The last three are secrets that take just a few minutes to search up and unlock. -The true ending / post game content is essentially ~30 hours of extra work and waiting around for machines, for a very very milquetoast conclusion. Game needs more speed up unlocks or something (It took me the hours shown to get about a third through the postgame. I left the game running for two nights with a very suboptimal base. ended up watching the rest of the game bc i'm really bad at factory games and my hours would probably double just to finish it)
This game has the sauce. Cute, charming, cozy, simple, complex? entertaining and addictive. I love automation games, and I can easily say this one stands among the GOATs (yes, really). Would love it if the QoL features were standard instead of upgrades but they are not hard to reach. Overall, a great play. Worth the price, and a no-brainer on sale.
