If you played and liked Factorio, Satisfactory or hell, even Space Engineers you are going to fall in love with this game.

What it does differently is the differing enviroments, rare resources to simplify resource chains and the sheer scope of it, where you get to see whole solar system and neighbourhood (have a giant or really bright star close to your system? Nice, because now it is so big or so bright it looks like part of your system!), awesome looking dyson spheres, flying off planet to another planet without a loading screen.... it is fun, addicting, gorgeous and runs really good too!

It all comes down to one thing. Building things is so zen.

Especially now, without enemies. I like it. I always turned off agressivity in Factorio so I had the aliens but they were docile till I came for them if I felt like PewPew. Hope it will be the same here, though not sure what we will get given the limited space on planets.

Now that I've got some time in this game I really like it. There's something about building stuff that is so engrossing. You want to setup a supply chain, you gotta go back and plan start to finish. One little idea turns into an hour of setup and you never noticed the time fly by.

The best thing about this game is the Wife likes it. It's been years since she found something new that she likes. Looks like I'll be buying a second license.

Personally I'm happy that a game like this has become so popular. I've never liked popular stuff so it's been neat being a part of the community and following the game from the start. I am really impressed with this game. Every time I look at the sun and see my Dyson swarm it blows my mind that my machines made each of those dots and physically shot them up into space where you can watch them orbit or fly by them. And the gameplay flows nicely for me. I've never had an issue with the controls myself. It feels good to build a bunch of machines and watch the materials flow through. Especially if you get the ratios right. I love seeing my science producing towers all lit up to the top.
