I don't understand all the positive reviews. Must be people who never played really good candidates of this genre like TCG or others. This is linear, boring, and actually feels tedious in comparison. Automation and progress doesn't give you much, e.g. you need to be level 20 (!) to even be able to hire a 2nd employee. Until then you are stressed out to hell every game day. Simply not a good game flow, limited mechanics, and even quite obvious ideas are simply not in Retro Rewind. Would recommend to whats 3-4 Lets Plays of these types of games, within a few minutes you will understand why other games simply have much, much better game loops.

I loved the game for many hours when I played the demo, and I already see it just got better. It has been an amazing year for factory builder fans, but this little gem is the crown jewel for me. Fun, addicting, much more complex than you would assume first. If you have the slightest interest in building/automating/factory-builders, I say this is a must buy. :)

My 26 hours were with a lot of afk time and also the game running in the background. It keeps you busy for maybe like 10 hours, and in these 10 hours it's good gaming fun. Definitely worth the money.

This is a wonderful game! Please expect hours to get used to the controls. They are not bad, they are just complex because you can do so many things, you have combat combos, you have many skills ... but the more you dive into it, the more fun it is.

Supported this over a year ago. Nothing happened, zero visible or functional progress - while SE1 DLCs keep coming in. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth, therefore not recommending you jump onto the "support train".

If you hope for any type of gameplay or content, you are wrong here anyway. This is years away from being a game, so it's a "Kickstarter-without-Kickstarter-campaign" only.

Already a masterpiece, already a piece of art.

Nah, it's 2026 and people stating "this is more fun than any modern game" is simply blabla. "Better than PoE" statements are simply annoying, not only because they are lies, they also show how you don't understand anything about games. :) And no, you are not getting your youth back by buying this game.

And, also no, this is not "a great Steam Deck" title. There's literally a thousand better and more modern ones. - Did it have a price of let's say 5 bucks I'd leave it unrated as this might be worth the nostalgia and the few minutes you will actually play it, but at 8 times the price this is just nonsense and the just the next indication about how pitiful Blizzard has become.

Endgame still broken, that junior game designer at Funcom still not fired. What a joke. Funcom goes Ubisoft.

The best factory game since Satisfactory, a must have if you enjoy these types of games.

Very buggy at this stage, but can become really good. The framework works, but lots and lots missing to make in a truly awesome game. Still a thumbs up because this is not only "has a lot of potential" but already some good stuff in it. Just please, before you add more stuff, remove the bugs. Too many in the context of building and the conveyor belts ...
