        I’ve found the perfect method to take a break from Factorio is to apply Satisfactory and a dash of Techtonica.

        I say break, because there’s no stopping Factorio. I’m afraid it’s chronic.

        It’s not for everyone, but if it’s for you, it’s amazing.

        I’d highly recommend beating the base game first if you haven’t already. The complexity really ramps up quite a bit, so if you struggle with the base game, it might be better to hold off. That said, if you’re confident in your problem solving skills and willing to push through some of the tougher bits, you could totally jump right in to Space Age.

        I think I’m at around 100 hrs in to SA so far, and maybe (optimistically) half way through, and I’ve loved every bit. Except Gleba, fuck Gleba. :)

          Shit man I hardly get trains and I got the half amount in the base game. But I refuse to watch tutorials or read because that just takes away the fun. You sold me, I like to support the devs and having even more fun to sink time into is amazing Tbh I probably never need another game!

            I will warn you, it’ll push your requirement for understanding game mechanics, and make you solve problems in new ways from the base game. It’s also not feasibly beatable without at least some understanding of circuits, logistic mechanics, and (space) trains.

            That said, good luck, and may your factory grow in perpetuity!

        It’s more better lol

        Seriously though it’s really well thought out actually. Each planet has unique challenges you will have to deal with and it’s clear they put a lot of effort into designing these challenges and their solutions. Each planet grants new features that give you options you wouldn’t otherwise have to help solve other problems. Lots of quality of life changes and an ever-improving user experience.

        It won’t win over people who didn’t like Factorio but fans of the game will get more of what they love.

        So far, it’s been really great. I’m still on the first planet, but they’ve added a lot of QoL to improve the experience!

    I’ve started Cyberpunk 2077 recently. Runs pretty flawlessly now with patch 2.x, I’m glad that I waited a few years

      I played it for a bit about a year after it first came out and thought it was fun but it didn’t grab me. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of sci-fi movies and have an itch to try cyberpunk again. I’m glad to hear it runs well, that gives me hope

      I’ve been waiting forever for this to get a real price cut but instead it just got 50% more expensive. I guess I will just have to be patient for another decade.

    I recently looped back to rimworld.

    I was playing a bunch of frostpunk 2, then a little frostpunk 1, and then bounced between the two of them. But in the end all gaming comes back to rimworld…

    Hello,

    Thanks for this post. Do you think they could be made weekly? The community is probably large enough to discuss things once a week

    I’m ashamed to say I’ve stepped into the Gacha rabbit hole with Zenless Zone Zero. It’s a fun game, combat feels quite good on PC, characters are likable, and the story is intriguing so far. Though I’m not ashamed to say that I haven’t spent anything on this game, and I’m sticking to free to play, as the value you get out of spending in game just isn’t worth it. There are much better ways to spend money than rolling for a chance to get a character. How much the whales are willing to spend for a character will never cease to amaze me.

    I’ve been addicted to WarFrame for months and before that it was Wayfinder but that was pre 1.0 so I’d like to go back into that one when I can peel myself away from WF

      Good luck on your Warframe journey! Where are you in the story right now? I dropped it after the railjack came out, and am tempted to go back and see some of the new stuff. I just don’t have that much time and patience for grinding all the resources now, maybe I’ll just see a playthrough or something.

    Death Crown (2019)

    It’s as if a 4x was stripped down to the essentials, just you and the map and three building types, the gameplay is basically “try to overwhelm the enemy” and zerg rushing has been my winning strategy so far. Love the aesthetic though.

    Narita Boy (2021)

    I first played it close to release, but got bored of the story after a while, rediscovering this one on Steam Deck, the controls and combat has surprising depth !

    I have an anti-recommendation for Pathfinder Kingmaker.

    They almost have a good RPG here but the combat is so frequent and the encounter design is just wack. The second to last dungeon is the worst I have ever experienced.

    Normally I stop once I’m not feeling it. I’m not really sure why I pushed through here.

    Started Changed. What an insanely difficult game. What a strange thing for someone to be into… but I love the art. It’s way too difficult for me so far, though.
