Very short, but it's free.

Even in the main menu you have to connect Start to End.
This may not be obvious at first, especially when pressing 'esc' while looking for keybindings ;)

Still waiting for that beer, Barney...

Factorio 3D

Never got to play the original, so I got pleasantly surprised with this remake.

Difficulty feels just about right; levels are not too small, but not too expansive either; different weapons and abilities are fun.
Maybe 'fun' is an appropriate term to describe this game altogether!

Light version of Tarkov+Hunt:Showdown hybrid in SciFi setting.
Free to play.
Runs good and looks nice.
There are even some light puzzles, and the game is chuck-full of Easter eggs, too :)

Scratches that looty shooty itch!

Fresh take on factorio-like genre with incorporation of somewhat realistic production processes, mining of raw material and dumping of waste/overproduced resources.

You also have a boat for expeditions (map-based). There is combat as well, but I haven't yet unlocked cannons for the boat. Game also features an extensive tech tree.

Still in early access but already feels like a feature complete indie game.
Recommended if you like games such as factorio; factory town; dyson sphere program.

Alluring setting.
Curious to see in which way the dev will set this game apart from the rest of the Banished-likes.

Seems like something niche with a steep learning curve.
But I'd only recommend if you can waste quite some time overcoming the steep learning curve.

First 2 hours are the worst the game has to offer, only gets better after that.
Too much hand-holding at first.

After that, the game gives you freedom, and that's where it starts to shine.
