First video of yours I've seen. What other games have you given perfect scores to?

There's trouble at mill. Co blimey, she is a good game.

the game is garbage compare to the original one and only OG can tell this. new players have no idea about it

the best game ive played and at nearly 50 ive played a lot . its coming to console the devs say and they are going to make controller support for pc . i use the controller but its not perfect i will be interested to see how they implement it onto controller fully . ive got about 600 hours into this game and about 50 on the new 1.0 release . 2 hrs go by and you get a notice lol time doesn't exist in this game

Amazing review. I agree 100%. Satisfactory is a wonderful game!

this feels like a bad attempt at edgy click bait

How could you do this to me. I just sat down to play the game and you tell me to grab a cuppa to watch the video. Now I gotta save it for later. I never disobey the invitation to grab a cuppa to watch a video.

Best review ever. I bought this game in early access and never looked back. Bought it for my son and the idiot hasn't tried it out. Best game since Civilization II as far as I'm concerned.

I am so glad that I was able to push through the early game. After only playing for 50 minutes I was not really feeling the game but trust and learn the process because I am now 45 hours in and would be severely disappointed if I had refunded. Can't wait to find out what else is in store with this game!!!

One thing you briefly mentioned but I feel deserves more attention is the visual design of the machines themselves. All the little details on the design, the animations, their size, they look fantastic. It all gives me a feeling I hadn't thought of, much less felt in years, the same fascination 5 year old me had when seeing a semi on the road, or when passing by construction equipment.

Don’t forget this guy gave starfield a 8/10

I wonder why they went this direction with it. Maybe should have given it a different title to reflect the change in focus.

Quick question... the list, or rather the other three on it. Does that include Dyson Sphere?

This is not an "Early issue". This is a deliberate grind to make you excited for automation. This is a very careful design choice.

Satisfactory is the game of the same exact vibe as Subnautica. Same early access, same community feedback, same critical acclaim and addictive gameplay. Except better.

00:17 Whoa... when you outclass even Josh from LGIO, you _know_ you're overdoing the chaos a little

All of the criticism is fair and relatable. I have struggled for a long time letting the game rest on the wishlist, but I got it after all and it changed my perspective on the matter (pun intended). For 25€ or 15€ on sale you get a carefully crafted mind bending videogame that is in fact short, but a unique experience afterall. It really makes you fall in love with videogames again, as it's mechanic feels like some impossible idea coming to life creating new boundaries of what gaming might be. For me it felt like the developers focussed on quality over quantity, introducing new ideas on a regular basis to play around and experiment with, instead of stretching the playtime as many games do nowadays. The world design could use some more variety, but it was a nice touch, that every area resembled the respective person who created it. I think storywise it made sense that they did not create gigantic open world like areas, as that would probably not seem realistic considering the serious matter. So that game it was well worth the price on sale in relation to the experience it lets you have. Cheers

i have to stop playing satisfactory at least a few hours before going to bed otherwise my brain doesn't shut off and i never sleep 🤣

2:22 You have a tutorial notification pop up every a new mechanic is introduced. It is not the game's fault you chose to ignore it.

Easy 10 this is! and I have only said this about 5 games out of thousands of games over 40 years! its ridiculous...lovely review!

it has absolutely no soul, money grab, well done technically but no soul at all. 6:57 just look at this "menu" looks like someone forgot to finish the design, just terrible. I think they put real heart an dsoul into the first one because it was a passion project but had no real plan to extend the real core game so they just scaled everything up.....

the early-game slog is SO important for a first-time player. time is essentially the games main currency. when you have machines that can do everything for you, how you use your manual time is very important. maunal mining, crafting, transporting resources... even the crafting bench criticizes you spending too time crafting, glowing hot and chittering under stress. you could be maintaining your production line right now, or exploring the world for resources, not doing something machines could do for you. yet at no point, it doesnt tell you NOT to do any of that. its a series of incentives that trend every player towards the mindset the game wants you in, without much friction. this is progression done masterfully, almost as well as terraria.

Actyally bruh, the cofee stain is multiole studios. Thats why its a cofee stain and studios plural. The guys making goat sim arent making satisfactory.

8tb porn nvme storage lol, pretty entertaining review

The efficiency has multiple layers of complexity even; matching input/outputs, matching conveyer load, overclock/underclock, streamlining the layout, then throwing in your methodology of processing close to the producer or hauling the raw materials to another factory. Oil is a great example of that with do you want plastic now or later depending on how you refine crude oil.

For some reason this Frostpunk 2 feels like a mobile game for me. Be it the colour pallet? be it that it feels like it is made to be played in mobile with everything going in predetermined spots ? reminds me of some games where you click everything that pops up and your city gets bigger and you get happier(do you really?)

Imo the best way to describe this game is that as a game, on its own, is very good. However when you compare it with Frostpunk 1, its predecessor does LITERALLY everything better. So in that way, yes it is very much a disappointment.

I was pretty surprised by some of the design decisions. I also hate the fact that the prologue has basically nothing to do. There are no decisions. You just frostbreak (zzzz) and build districts and... nothing else? No research, no expeditions? I guess I was interested in seeing what else was there, but I didn't want to risk breaking the refund duration since there is NO WAY I want to have spent money on this game.

Definitely my game of the year. So proud of the devs and community for finally hitting 1.0. 1000 hours in so far, and many many more to go!

after more than 2200 hours, I can confirm the game is good :)

Coffee stain is only a publisher for Velheim. I believe Iron Gate is the actual developer.

This has to be one of the most Informative and entertaining reviews I’ve ever seen. You easily deserve 10x the viewers/subscribers. Very well done mate.

Same publisher as Valheim etc, not same devs.

I would have been happier with just more content for Frostpunk 1 So much more you could add to it Last Autumn DLC barley scratched the surface

Agreed, I'm finding this a great game and I've only just scratched the surface after 36hrs. My factory is spaghetti central!

The manual part is Tier 0 and is the training or intro to the game. It goes slow, because you are learning. Also listen to everything that is being said as it will teach you how to play, while still leaving a lot to figure out yourself.

Once again it seems people didn't get the memo that FP2 is on a much grander scale than FP1, therefore you don't focus on the individual level "boredom"... lol, you're saying that FP1 didn't have some of that? (of course it's not a good thing but c'mon, nitpick alert) "where did we get this tech from" ...hello? Did you not pay attention to the opening cutscene of Story Mode? This game takes place THIRTY YEARS AFTER FP1, no shit tech has gotten more advanced, we don't need to see it anyway (once again, nitpick) another (in my opinion) pointless review that can just be boiled down to "This game isnt Frostpunk 1.5, I don't like it" sorry, not sorry for being rude, but that's just how this review looks to me as someone who has enjoyed over a hundred hours of the original and heavily enjoys this sequel

The feeling of FP2 is bland compared to FP1 it's a ok game but not like the original. The UI is a mess, overall i feel no impact of the gameplay compared to the first game. Sad because i was looking forward to the game for years. FP2 feels just frustrating and confusing a lot of the time If i would summarize FP2 in one word it is "unsatisfying"

I ended up giving up on the game after a few hours. I actually got past the early "make stuff by hand" phase and got up to tier 2 of the main building. And then I just looked at it and thought "ugh I don't want to spend another 5 hours running around picking leaves and building up basic production lines to make iron plates or whatever". The game gives you fairly little guidance or goals, and progression just seems painfully slow. There's also a bunch of extra systems for analyzing stuff or those Fixit dump things that you can unlock pretty early, but are barely explained, so I just found them confusing. I was comparing the game to Factorio the whole time, where after the same amount of time I already had dozens of fabricators up and running, power and mining all fully automated, and I was moving up to more complex resources like oil... in Satisfactory I don't think I even saw a hint at what all the advanced stuff is, it doesn't even let you see the higher tiers so you can browse! It really seems like one of those "it gets good after 50 hours" kind of games, and that's clearly where their main focus was, but I was hoping for 1.0 they would have made the early game more engaging.

I hate this shit game

I mod pretty much any game I play, however when talking about the current state of a game, you shouldn't put such a big focus on mods. Modding is inaccessible to most people due to lack of confidence in their own abilities or lack of reading comprehension and modding Bethesda games specifically is a herculean task. Most people watching this video wouldn't even be able to change a single value in a config file.

The attention to detail is astonishing. Did you notice that when you are in your personal room in the HUB, the surveillance cameras on the ceiling follow you around?

L take on a great relaxing game. love the UI and art style. plays great. challenging,

Great review!

I agree, they have cocked it up, the original was excellent, such a letdown :(

They made the second game too annoying too to play with the bad UI and terrible indicators of whatever is happening that is super important for the player to pay attention to, i also feel like they have overcomplicated new mechanics with so many unnecessary added things that make it tedious to go through, first game felt more intuitive. It's super funny because the subreddit is full of cope lol.

Seen the title and just thought you were a hater but nah you love this game and hate the way i feel the exact same way. Every thing you praised was what I praised and what you hate is honestly what i hate.

It's also worth noting that for your main critique of the game, being that the early game can be a bit tedious, that you are actually given an option when starting a new save to _skip_ the early game phase completely. When you start a new save, there is a checkbox asking whether or not you want to skip the onboarding process (IE Tier 0 tutorial phase). This lets you drop into the game and immediately start placing machines.

close to masterpiece, so many game ruining bugs tho
