Is Satisfactory worth your time? | Early Access Game Review

In this video, I try to help answer the simple question "Should you make time for Satisfactory?"
Satisfactory is a first-person factory simulation game developed and published by Coffee Stain Studios (Valheim, Deep Rock Galactic, Goat Simulator). Released in 2019 as Early Access the game is currently approaching Update 8 - a massive shift to Unreal Engine 5 - as such I wanted to share if this game is worth your time.

Great video for a great game! I've probably had 5 different playthroughs of the game, mostly in multiplayer with friends. Honestly, this is the most solid early-access game I've played. So much content, such frequent updates that provide great performance optimization and content - and it gets so much better with friends (that make spreadsheets for you lol). Honestly can't deny anything you said in this review, it's very solid and worth it if someone watching this hasn't gotten it yet!!

[@aaavellone]

Yes! It's worth every 70+ hour play through

[@craigwhite1202]

What about 150 and still going strong

[@aaavellone]

Totally

[@nikmontecristo3683]

400+ and waiting for 1.0

[@aaavellone]

Super cool. I have over 1000 hours in different play throughs. All I meant is that you could beat the game in 70-80 hours if you wanted to.

[@aaavellone]

My average now is at least 120-150 hours as I spend more time building buildings, train lines thay actually look good. Thank science for blueprints!

[@Shadowx011]

This is one of many games not available on consoles that really makes me want to own a PC.

[@pinkdiamonds77]

Should Satisfactory make time for you is the real question, this game is everything for me.

[@avfx]

Satisfactory is one of the best games in history ... it will however take up 1000s of hours of your life 😅😅

This is the game that I just love and i can play it for long hours.

[@cjmakescontent]

This was an good, informative and well edited review. Thank you. Definitely think this channel deserves more subscribers. Thank you for making this video.

[@MrHossie]

Glad you enjoyed it! its a great game!

[@ArrowSnipes]

i've been missing out on so much... time to get into it!

[@mymumbakescakes]

Good overview. Looking forward to V8

[@zoommonkey]

great review! thank you.

[@Hytension]

hmm looks cool, I wish it had a more base building aspect on top of the "factory" type

[@supravlieg]

Absolutely among the best manufacturing games.

[@FastDuDeJiunn]

Yes. its worth the price tag and time. one of the few games worth more than they ask. and that is in its current state. let alone all that is yet to come. i get the game is probably not for everyone.... but for the avg gamer, which is ofc 80% player base i really feel this game is worth it to them. if they give it an honest attempt. i really wish games like this would do free trials, 10 hours at least free gameplay to get a feel for the game. 2 hours just is NOT enough for most big games anymore to even leave the tutorial...... let alone get a feel for the game.

[@MrHossie]

I agree! A demo like how factorio does it would get more people hooked I think.

[@jerrytong7679]

this game can beat minecraft in addictiveness level

[@MotocrossRider155]

Easily one of my all time favorite games. Doesnt have any of the annoying aspects of other games, only thing you need to worry about is building your factory. Not food, hostile enemies, stuff like that. These devs are great.

[@marbulOfficial]

Great and addictive game, beautiful graphics, extremely underrated soundtrack!

[@kitsukeita]

If you think you should make time for satisfactory, i would suggest Factorio too, with countless mods/overhauls/packs its probably one of the best base builders out there. Thats saying after 400+ hrs of satisfactory.

[@thegermansteve5635]

I personally like satisfactory more then factory

[@KingmanRoss]

Bought it the other day,love it.First game ever that has no real goal so this will be a loooooonnnnnnnggggggg playing game,lol.At least for me.Very surprised that it plays/looks so good on my rig,with it being Unreal Engine 5.

[@bambuskaktusa]

yes... 9 times playthrough...3000 hours....just waiting for 1.0

[@p_orior4621]

I was blown away by how well this game ran in early access. I had to delete it because I'm a neanderthal with an incredibly addictive personality and played 82 hours in 4 days

[@darthjeder]

With the Unreal 5 update i got a huge framerate boost and also awesome visuals (Lumen)...

[@MrHossie]

It looks visually stunning with Lumen on - but on my PC if i do turn it on for screenshots, the fps drops to 10-15.

[@darthjeder]

@@MrHossie i experimented a lot with the settings and turning the screenpercentage down to 35 still looks good. I granted myself a pretty big budget for my 50th birthday pc build and the gpu became an RX 6700 XT.

[@Rambrus0]

i have already 300+ hours into the game and still couldnt complete the current last tier

[@Jimjolnir]

First person gives me nausea. Is there a way to play top-down, or whatever the term would be?

[@phoenixvance6642]

There is a 3rd person mod

[@avfx]

Oh and unreal engine 5.1.1 incoming

[@MrHossie]

Yes!! It sounds like it will get rid a tonne of loading issues too :D

[@FREEDOM9w9]

Holyshit 500 hourS?

[@Zaque-TV]

Top review on steam logged over 5k hours lol

[@timdutton2056]

If you like Factorio, you'll like this.

[@SA-cs7pg]

I just got the game. Gonna be honest. I’m bored. What’s the end game goal?

[@MrHossie]

You progress through the milestones and tiers to reach the final one - then its all up to you

[@SA-cs7pg]

@@MrHossie I take it back. It’s bloody addictive 😎

[@MrHossie]

Thanks for the update!!!@@SA-cs7pg

[@gandalfwiz20007]

As a Factorio lover, I find Satisfactory overwhelming and kind of a running simulator

[@lanceraiku]

I haven't played Factorio but I thought so too after a couple hours of playing so I downloaded a flying mod and the game became a lot more enjoyable

[@csevrence1]

Making spaghetti isn't hard.. c'mon guys

[@Horizon-hj3yc]

That is not an honest review. It's boring, since you walk a lot, you drive a lot, building vertically is a pain, that hover thing is a joke, trucks are buggy, drones are rather useless, the railway system (rails, station, logistics) is extremely poorly designed and rather limited, and the game is rather buggy...and especially(!) multi-player. It takes forever to build anything, and that's the biggest flaw of the game. That blueprint system is not very helpful, it's only useful for small things. On top of that, it's a pain to align everything properly, a major pain. Don't even think about moving a factory a few meters.... in other factory games it takes seconds. You can't make large factories on the ground, because you can't modify the terrain (such a bad design decision!) so you're forced to build factories high above the ground, or above water, but building above water always means that you're not building in the most ideal location, far away from resources. Don't even get me started about hand crafting, who ever designed that interface needs to be fired, just like the guy who decided that you should collect all these hard drives.... in a factory game. What on earth were they thinking? The only way to cope with some of the annoyances is by using mods, but that doesn't change the fact that the base game is flawed. I don't even like to use mods, the thought alone that I could run into corrupted save files because of some buggy mod... no thanks, plus updates break mods. What you just wrote is not a review, because there is no(!) criticism at all, you just ignore all the flaws. It's not a review, it's fanboy video.

[@DanielMartinez316]

The review sounds boring, I can't imagine how boring the game must be.
