Stardew has 98%... however I doubt that 99% means anything right now because factorio have nowhere near the number of reviews as the much widely known games out there.

For instance, skyrim was 96% and it had a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of reviews by then.

In fact it dropped quite a lot when Gabe decided he needed even more dosh and decided to for paid mods (lol) and since skyrim was the test subject, the negative reviews swarmed for that matter...

most people never removed their negative reviews over paid mods.

Kerbal Space Program also shows up as "Overwhelmingly positive."

Yeah, it's already extremely well done and MASSIVELY addictive. I just got done playing a many hour long (not even remotely prepared to admit how long) Factorio binge and... I just keep thinking of other ways of setting up factories. It's totally deserving of its status.

I frankly think that the player that buys factorio is already 99% sure of what he is paying for, a single video tells its, the gameplay is simple(in what you have to do wich is build complex stuff, dont get me wrong here) and sandbox straightforward as it gets, despite of the simple goal, people who buy this knows they just want to build complex machinery and contraptions.

unlike other games like cod alikes, "wow hype omg new COD", hit buy, bad reviews follows after the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ short campaign for an aaa.

or either an straight scam disaster like colonial marines.

anyways, when i saw the teaser for factorio, I knew I was going to like it, same with my friend, he saw it and knew he was going to hate it so he didnt bought, simple as that. I don't think anyone would buy the game just to write review, EXCEPT if the game is called: The Graveyard.

I guess that explains mostly why this game is 99%.

And the free demo helped a lot. So anyone can try it and think to buy it with knowledge if he likes it :)

it's a hack, hackers did it.

I simply bought the game because it had 99% with thousands of reviews, I haven't played it yet though, should I? :)

99% has been done by a few but

Start immediatly and lose your RL

Factorio is not for anyone. So it seams that they did a good job targeting the right players. That means the game has a good name and good information about itself. In order that everyone buying it nows what kind of game they get. That helps to get a high percentage of positive reviews.
But the game is really very well done!

There is a game with a very similiar game mechanic/ game goal: Fortresscraft. It is also very addictive but the name is missleading and it is more compliacted to handle / to start with than Factorio. But it is in 3D.

well, factorio, like KSP was long out before a steam release. able to build a proper fanbase, thats diffrent with SW. greenlighted even on steam, pure steam launch

edit: have to say, i own both long before steam ;)
