A little bewildered why they released this so early. There's just not really any game here yet. It's barely a tech demo.

I backed this on Kickstarter, so I'm basically committed already, but you should save your money for a while (maybe a few years, really).

Several performance patches have already been done and patches fixing bugs are being released almost every day so I think the game is good on that front.

Singleplayer tutorial/campaign is lackluster and the last mission is only really good for testing things.

In terms of actual factory gameplay...the resource crafting / progress / tech tree is very wide and deep with the main limitations being less and less things to build with your more advanced resources since alot of the mid-late game content isnt in yet

But so far they have done the bare minimum to reward making the most advanced resources (pretty much in the form of 2 game enders, a titan and a centurion nuke)


1v1 pvp is very fun and i recommend giving it a try if you are willing to join the community discord and play with a stranger on voice comms

In fact I recommend skipping the tutorial and learning from a real person, you will learn way more about what the game has to offer by doing this instead of filling warehouses with raw resources for 30 minutes.

Don't even open the game and start ticking away your 2 hours until you confirmed you have someone to play with, and you will get a much better vision of the game than 90% of the reviews here or anywhere else (I'm looking at you, clickbait rants)

If you want any amount of single player experience, you will be left annoyed and unsatisfied with only 1 mission that unshackles the player.

If you want to experiment and help learn and shape the meta, and participate in balance discussions and give feedback for where the game is going, give it a try.

I don't understand why they released the game in it's current state. I do not recommend purchasing the game right now unless you have absolute faith that they'll pull thru and make a great game like they did with PA: titans. (I know some people are pretty soured about the whole titans thing but it's legit good.)

I'll update my review when the game is more fleshed out.
