Although this is a really lame review, this gaming is freaking great!!

Was excited to get this as there was a few extra things coming with it (not including the GTA+ fluff).
Tested before migrating over from legacy and seemed to work great on my ageing PC.
Migrating character was quick and smooth.

Couldn't save my key binds and discovered they'd removed in game chat (wtf?) but the keybind for it must still be in the code so if you bind the T key to something else it will mean that chat is missing a keybind, so you can't save the changes... Outstanding.

Poked around to see what other amazing new features there were and discovered and pretty cool looking car called the Karen S95 which said it was free for enhanced.
Grabbed the car and closed out of the in-game phone and noticed that it had taken $2 million out of my account.
Jumped on the net and discovered it's a 'known issue'...

Quit the game in disgust.

Maybe support will refund but left a foul taste in the mouth and put me off playing.
Spent ages getting that 2 mill up and wouldn't have wasted on that car if it wasn't free.
What other gotchas are there?
What a waste of time.

Online issues aside, it's clearly not finished, spelling errors, place holders in game for unfinished content, and I've had loss of progress twice now due to town portal vanishing as soon as I head back to town so I lost the loot in the area I came from. Lost loot in a looting game, nice. Refunded.

Game could be so good but really misses the bar for a few things like, combat, and some interactions. A few game breaking bugs also. Some from picking things up before the quest line wanted you to, breaking quest triggers, and things disappearing so that you can't pick them up later also breaking quest triggers.
The map is also lacking. No player placed map markers for example.

Still an early access game in my opinion.
Is a real shame as it definitely could be great.

Will wait another two years and see if it gets better.

Really good game. Having heaps of fun with this one. Great devs as well.

Daaammmn wish I'd picked this up earlier. Me and a mate just had a blast with this. Bloody stressful, yet awesome fun. 10/10.
Am wondering what other games to look for that are coop fun like this.

Could be a really good game if it wasn't so buggy.
I found it a frustrating experience though until I found some mods to fix some bugs and provide some really needed quality of life. For example mods to help not having to continuously click your mouse to get through conversations, or to fix the terrible water textures, or to fix the mining beam so that you actually get bonus mining speed when you upgrade to advanced miner.
The thing that's killed it for me though is you can't leave your base unattended with your refineries going because you can come back and everything has just vanished. And checking on the NMS discord this issue has been around for awhile.

The developers of this game really are amazing.
Every week, during development, they'd post a FFF (Factorio Friday Facts) to lets us know what's happening and give insights on their development journey. Always something interesting.
Their thoroughness with bug fixing is also second to none.
The Space Age expansion is like getting a whole new game and is awesome.
Am really liking the updated sound track as well

Excellent bit of software if you want more from your PC/PC background. Looks awesome if using a wallpaper that reacts to music, or you want to add a bit of something to your gaming rig to bling it out.

Got this just for the memories... OMG this game is still fun!
