Is is worth buying at current state?

[IndianaJones]

I already have Satisfactory in Early Access and I completed campaign in Riftbreaker.

This game seems like and mesh-up of those two above.

But it is still Early Access, and now I hear the development has slowed down due to various valid reasons.

So, at current state is it worth it? Or better wait till they finish it and exit Early Access.

It's the most complete early access title I've seen. A large developer would just release it now and sell the rest as dlc.

[MetalDad]

Buy it. No doubt about it. I already put over 2000 hours in and still have the feeling there's more to explore. Ok, with a little help from (often excellent) mods, but still. It's worth every penny!

I, too, am weary of EA games by default.

That being said, this particular small dev team has a bit of a perfectionist attitude in their development style... The game they released on literally day 1 was polished and 99% playable. Everything over the last 2 years has just been tweaking and working toward their final vision. If every other EA was HALF as good as DSPs EA, the PC gaming world would be a much cheerier place.

Having played Riftbreaker, the gameplay is only similar in the visual style and very barebone mechanics of mining resources and the placement of structures. (Though, some of that may change after the upcoming Combat update in the next several months)

As for Satisfactory?...

There's 3 big games out there in this particular genre.

Factorio (the Grandfather of the entire Genre), Satisfactory, and Dyson Sphere Program.

I would rank them:
Tie #1/#2 Dyson Sphere Program / Factorio
#3 ... lots of other games
#4 Satisfactory

tl;dr Yes, buy it. You will NOT regret it.

I agree with people above. Game is rock-solid as it stands. If you like this genre look no further. Set up big Galaxy and start building these production chains. If anyone deserves money for the effort it's the YouthCat Games. Bear in mind it's impossible to lose at this point. There is no combat yet although next big patch is promised to bring just that. If you like serene factory building without stress get it now, otherwise wait until they launch combat later this year.

Better than Satisfactory! No giant spiders or pixelated cats!

[Coops]

Totally worth buying and playing now. Like was said. They could release it now and add combat as a DLC

[Boots of Doom]

I despise Early Access but even I have to admit that this game is in very decent shape for an EA title, very playable. I think the game design has flaws and I'm disappointed that "enemies" of some kind are going to be introduced, but even in this state it is better than many "finished" games I have bought.

That said - there is no burning reason to play it right now. You may as well wait for the EA period to be over.

this game is second only to factorio. pick it.

[Qiox]

I honestly forgot this is still in early access. Feels like a full release game that is just getting regular patches.

[RealWayneKnox]

absolutely worth buying. Fantastic game, doesn't feel like early access. WAY more polished than most early access games. I have sooo many hours in already, i'm definitely addicted.

[Achilles]

Amazing game if you like this type of genre, many hours of content and its still early access

[Pete van de Pete]

Addicting like narcotic,awesome fitting mood ost,easy to understand mechanics,nice graphics and alot mods to choose.I buyed it not so long ago i dont regret it

[Modern Creep]

It's worth every penny, and Im glad I chipped in and helped the devs out. I've played some similar games to this one but Dyson Sphere is by far the best. In terms of game play, graphics, and polish. The overall idea is just unique as well. The universe is literally your home. You'll know what I mean by that when you play through it. Don't want to spoil it. Just pick it up, help these guys out. They deserve it, and you deserve the experience.

[IndianaJones]

Thank you all for great feedback.
I will definitely buy it.

Ya man, I came from factorio and if you like that type of games you will love this and it's pretty complete and the logistics are pretty fun, go for it
