The simulation genre is HUGE this year, this is only one subgenre. Don't miss ALL upcoming simulation games in the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLYVqUDxY6COh7bkuJoBb1koNRX7mAX2yp

[@Anonumos20]

Amazing work! You've stepped on another level this year with these video series.

[@teamruddy611]

Captain of industry has already been released and so you can't put it here. Try putting something else there instead.

[@GamerZakh]

@@teamruddy611 So you're saying I shouldn't include Early Access games as upcoming?

[@tarrker]

Excellent work, as usual. But, what's the game you showed in the end credits? Kinda looks like a board game? I like it. :)

[@GamerZakh]

@@tarrker Thanks! That's Factory Town, I listed it in past years and it's now released. I'm testing showing past good games in the intro and outro this year.

[@lawsen3719]

Very excited for the Factorio Expansion, after the game was released out of beta, it felt 'complete' yet for the expansion they're adding stuff that has me like "how did I live without this before?"

[@GamerZakh]

I was kind of expecting the dev to just retire on the success of Factorio haha, it was hard to imagine how to make it better.

[@lawsen3719]

@@GamerZakh I think they talked about it right after the release 1.0 update, talked about plans for the future, but maybe after this expansion they'll move onto other projects, I'm not sure I don't keep up with the blogs.

[@dylanbyrne9591]

After that they'll spend the next 2 decades making it 1st person 3d with orbital mechanics and proper spaceship building like kerbal and underground mining like minecraft

[@michaelharbach1987]

Heh yeah the expansion looks incredible especially with the new challenges and quality of life improvements. The teasers make me want to open Factorio again right now, but I'll wait since those quality of life changes aren't in the base game yet.

[@lingonstudios]

Thanks for including my game Moose Miners in this list :) I have been watching your videos for quite a while to see what new interesting games are upcoming in the city-builder, tycoon and related genres. Seeing my own game in one of these videos feels really cool.

[@GamerZakh]

Well it is an interesting one!

[@hermes6910]

@lingonstudios Hi, I don't know if you know it, but Bit Defender take your game as a Trojan. And on virus total, 12/72 positive

[@achillesa5894]

I started Satisfactory for the first time this week, with the new Unreal Engine 5 update. It's so good! As a Factorio veteran it's a different style and takes a while to get used to but the game is freaking beautiful.

[@MegawackyMax]

I would like to suggest SHAPEZ 2, which is suggested for 2024. The first SHAPEZ is a Factorio reduced to the absolute basics, and it's more an ongoing engineering puzzle. Very interested to see what the sequel offers.

[@GamerZakh]

I did see it planning a 2025 release and didn't realise they were looking at 2024 for early access. I'll list it next time.

[@chadpatrick5112]

Satisfactory has consumed so much of my life. I realize now how much I love these games.

[@MrBillclintin]

Satisfactory is like a friendly vampire, it won't kill you, it just drinks you spare time. I enjoy Satisfactory as well and I am looking forward to 0.9 and 1.0.

[@alexismonfilliette8150]

I feel you, 750+ hours

[@digitalbathrx4529]

I have more hours in Satisfactory as an Early Access game than any other game I’ve ever played. Best $30 I’ve ever spent!

[@hansdampf640]

Dyson Sphere and Captain of Industrie are real bangers and if you find dyson sphere complex than Captain of Industrie will blow your mind!

[@ostlandr]

I love how real Captain of Industry feels. Even on my low-end 1080p system, the graphics are awesome. The taillights actually work on the vehicles, and the hydraulic cylinders etc. are accurately modeled. "Maintenance" and "Unity" are great mechanics. Very innovative.

[@uros.u.novakovic]

Dyson Sphere is an amazing game. Played it more than a year ago and I am definitely looking forward to diving into it again from scratch once it goes full release. Automation Station looks interesting cause of the whole physics engine thingy it'll have going on, but I wish to see more of it first. Astro Colony seems to be VERY ambitious, will add it to my radar. Foundry sounds fun cause of LAN support not gonna lie haha. I miss those days. Techtonica is kinda reminding me of Planet Crafter, which I've been playing for a long time now and I greatly enjoy it. Gonna give it a shot and see if it can dethrone Planet Crafter for me.

[@ostlandr]

Great game. Even in early access, it was more polished than final releases from some big name studios. I played the demo of Foundry. Good game, but didn't grab on to me. And of course The Planet Crafter is awesome.

[@trinity5150]

I think it's cool how factory building games have gotten really popular. When Infinifactory first came out I completed that one. Then Satisfactory came out later and I was on it first thing. Then I discovered survival games and that lasted for a while. Survival games got to a point where it feels like they are all the same. I noticed I have stayed with factory building games :)

[@teradgames7609]

Amazing games, great summary! I'm honored to be on the list! 🚀

[@badmufasa79]

Literally just realized that this is the game genre I am most passionate about. Great video!

[@GamerZakh]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@horus7732]

Awesome game list, thanks for the update, 2024 is going to be another great year for this gaming genre

[@lodewijkhenneveld7000]

Thanks Zakh! Always enjoy these vids!

[@GamerZakh]

Glad you do! I'm trying to list as many games as possible this year so everyone is gonna be super informed.

[@Kabluey2011]

I highly approve of this list!!!! Was going to mention though, the Developer of the Space Exploration mod got hired by Wube and is heavily helping with developing the new expansion ❤😊

[@IamGhede]

Wow I didn't know they hired the modder for Space Exploration. That is good to hear. I actually bought Factorio because of his mod.

[@mrcookies409]

Factorio became my favorite game back when i first tried a couple years ago, what a game.

[@Hust91]

One I have been testing out now that came out just a week ago is Final Factory - it's basically a love letter to Factorio, Cosmoteers and far future science fiction with gameplay different enough to feel like a fresh experience. Everything you build is made of structures that make up a space station - and you can put thruster on the stations for ship building happiness. I'm having a lot of fun with it. :>

[@mortiphago]

Oh man i just began programming my own factory game a month ago. Hopefully i can get in 2025s list. Slow progress, as a solo dev doing it on my free time Great list as always Zakh

[@Rasip]

Finishing a solo game in under 2 years is a hell of an achievement. Even big studios usually need 3-5 minimum.

[@leotheliongames]

Will you post any updates to your KZbin? I subbed and will be keeping an eye out in the future if so :)

[@Hitobat]

Love the opening, I have really fond memories of Infinifactory

[@kpectbi]

Great list Zakh. Thanks

[@GamerZakh]

Glad you like it!

[@Chron880]

much hype for crust. super keen on it :D

[@JavierSalcedoC]

Factorio SA, Satisfactory and DSP are my top 3 waiting list

[@atariastinus]

Satisfactory actually entered EA in 2019 March on epic. It went early access on steam in 2020 so it's been almost 5 years. Personally, I'm very much looking forward to the 1.0 release. I've spent a great deal of time in this game and I even bought it twice

[@GamerZakh]

Yeah I forgot the year on Epic, so was one year off.

[@karnematch]

2nd one just looks like a mod or something for timberborn

[@reviveandprosper]

Hey karnematch, you are right. Revive & Prosper is inspired by Timberborn and also Going Medieval or Factorio. The difference is that you have a limited amount of characters. You can remodel the terrain as you wish. There is real-time water physics meaning that the moisture spreads according to weather conditions, and terrain upgrades. It also evaporates from the ground which you can slow down by planting vegetation and again weather can affect it too. And there are catapults for transporting items. There's even more, and we're always happy to discuss the depth of R&P on the Discor. Feel free to reach out to us there. shootinka 🙂

[@pawemalinowski4838]

Factory must grow!

[@ostlandr]

To be specific, "The factory is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding factory." Just like the Bureaucracy. 🙂

[@KarterBigs]

Amazing list, but what was that game play that you were showing at the very beginning?

[@hazarod]

Uhhh The Crust looking good. Plan B: Terrarform looks good too. Captain of Industrie is a great game, i have a lot of fun with that. Moose Miners looks a little like the Scam ADS that you get for mobile games xD Got Dyson Sphere Programm, but hadnt the time to play more then a few hours. Astro Colony... i watched Josh`s Lets game it out and after that i couldnt play the game without doing only stupid things^^ thanks for the list, i will keep an eye on The Crust and Plan B

[@lingonstudios]

Funny that you would say that Moose Miners looks like the Scam ads for mobile games, that was the original inspiration for the game actually. I thought that the games as presented in the ads looked quite fun and wondered why no one made a game like that and decided to do it myself

[@hazarod]

@@lingonstudios thats cool =) i often think the same. the ads looking better then the actual game. already downloaded the demo, will test it in the evening when the handyman completed repairing our shutters.

[@hazarod]

@@lingonstudios okay i played the demo for around 9hrs until there was nothing more to mine. liked it so far, but i wished for an auto buy grinder left and right. and i hated the tease with the upgrades available in the full release, not knowing what they will do in the future xD

[@subsonic100]

Is there a list of these that are multiplayer? I like playing factory games with friends and co-op or single player is often missing from reviews and I need to dig for it.

[@AtherionGG]

Foundry looks interesting. Been a while since I played Satisfactory, to me Satisfactory got kind of linear in a weird dynamic way. Hoping to find one a little more free form.

[@jsblack02]

“Linear in a weird dynamic way” what do you mean?

[@AtherionGG]

@@jsblack02 i guess the best comparison would be minecraft being more non-linear because the map is random.

[@StarlightLumi]

@@AtherionGG I absolutely LOVED the Foundry Demo when it was live. I've settled for Satisfactory since it's no longer playable, but Foundry was way more addicting in the quickness of its gameplay, whereas Satisfactory is way more slow and methodical. Exploring new seeds can be so addicting too, so you've never completely "solved" the game.

[@CostelloDamian]

Nothing quite beats the dude reading the game steam description word for word... top notch creative content 😂

[@GamerZakh]

I read or paraphrase the description as a 'word from the developers'. Then I give my opinions. It's not creative content at all, this is informational content. Your misunderstanding of the purpose makes you snarky but as you can see many people derive use from my lists, more than other lists, for a reason.

[@ZSteven]

Foundry lan party sounds nice. :P

[@AhmadSammy]

My current favorite genre ☺❤

[@shahoul1]

Thank you for the list Zakh, looking forward for your next ones.

[@GamerZakh]

Glad you're enjoying them!

[@MckaiserDragon]

wish u said satisfactory is finally on update 8. ive been waiting on that forever! im also super hyped for an update for factorio. those r the best two factory games out there for now.

[@BibiGoPewpew]

dyson sphere released the dark fog update and its SO GOOD i tell ya

[@vasilyevdmitry3242]

About the Crust,they may cooperate with "Iron Sky" lore. It will be great scenario

[@RamblinRick_]

Factorio: Space Age will also include planets, in addition to the floating platforms

[@fine93]

captain of industry looks kinda epic

[@pa5287]

Some good games...GOOD VID.

[@GamerZakh]

Thanks!

[@Psoewish]

I should start a new Satisfactory playthrough, it’s been a couple of years and I bet so much has changed.

[@over9000power]

tell me please what the game is from 0:04 in intro were the block are welding, cuting and destroing

[@GamerZakh]

That would be Infinifactory

[@McShavey]

You had some footage play for production line - but you didn't show it? It's a great little game - just a bit older than others.

[@GamerZakh]

I've listed production line for 2 years building to its release but it fully released in 2019, so half a decade before the scope of this list.

[@UKTeslaPicker]

What was the game in the end credits of your video? It wasnt one of the titles in the video itself :S

[@GamerZakh]

That's Factory Town, I'm using popular released games that I've listed before in the intros and outros this time.

[@wasfureinbua]

awesome

[@Martinit0]

I played The Crust demo during the last Steam Fest, it's really nice and addictive. Like the story. Pretty sure it's going to be great. Also enjoying Astro Colony - notably that is a solo-dev game. Tefel, the dev is live streaming weekly on twitch. The interesting thing about Astro Colony is that the planets and planetoids are more like floating islands and you can dock your space ship to them and take them with you. Some players have hollowed out a planet and put a base inside.

[@kio05]

there will be a demo for the crust on jan /8 /24 it was announced on their discord

[@gangstersnow]

I can never decide if i want to get factorio or not. I have played a lot of dyson sphere program and satisfactory, but factorio just seems ridiculously complex and idk if i can get into that

[@amcalde]

I own a lot of these games, just need to find the time to play them...

[@AntiFascistViking]

I guess you just looked in Steam, but Satisfactory was released on Epic on March 18, 2019, one year earlier.

[@GamerZakh]

It's been half a decade, I just forgot the year of Epic exclusivity. I listed Satisfactory in 2019 too.

[@jmatya]

I would have been disappointed if you didn't include factorio expansion in this video ❤

[@reviveandprosper]

Hi GamerZakh, thank you for listing Revive & Prosper! 🌱

[@GamerZakh]

Hey! All the best with development!

[@lawngnome2758]

Sim city 2000 started it all for me.

[@mesarthim640]

Aaah automation games... the ones that drive me totally insane ! Desync, I gave up on it... At least at the moment because programmation is pushing the concept a bit too far. Dyson Sphere program with enemies will be super fun but gosh this game needs co-op. Astro Colony, kinda gave up on it as well because moving your base is a nightmare and ressources do exhaust really fast. Satisfactory is still amazing and getting more and more complex ! Factorio is still the most amazing one for me, the pioneer but the most effective, space age is going to be a blast (off) !! Also, maybe it's just me but I tend to place the Rift Breaker in this category, since it has that kind of factorio feel but more simplistic and based on action... Dunno, it's a weird mix that one, still a great one though !

[@sparhawk2195]

Dyson Sphere has a mod for coop. The game isn't overly complex on that so the mod ended up working pretty much perfectly. Not sure if they will update it for the combat stuff but it is there right now.

[@logger_official7855]

Zakh I love your videos i really do. I have only one request please can you also look at free to play games if possible because I can't afford the games

[@GamerZakh]

I'm covering as much as I can but good news, the creator Nookrium is doing a free games month. You can check out his videos from this month, he's playing just free games.

[@larkendelvie]

You forgot Shapez2 - I believe the plan is release next year. Shapez1 is awesome.

[@GamerZakh]

I read it was planning a 2025 release and missed that it said early access for 2024.

[@WeLoveGameMusic]

What is the game shown during the end credits in this video?

[@GamerZakh]

That's Factory Town, listed it for years, it's out now.

[@qutaibahamwi]

my father had a factory game that was an early access game since he was a teen ager and planning to release it on his 80 year birthday 🤣

[@steph_7775]

I love the fact that the devs of Factorio use a sushi belt for unloading a train at 21:22

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

those are just conveyor belts

[@steph_7775]

@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 "Sushi belt" in Factorio is a looped belt that you put multiple items on it without order and filter specific items off it at different places.

[@steph_7775]

@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 the term "Sushi belts" is used when you place a looped belt and put multiple items on it and filter specific items off it at different places of the belt. DoshDoshington made a fully auto- launching base base only using a massive sushi belt and explain what is a sushi belt in factory games. DocJade too but he used a different sushi belt design. Both videos are great

[@JoshDRivia4]

Update 8 came out for Satisfactory the other day, 1.0 is imminent.

[@ostlandr]

Can highly recommend Captain of Industry, Dyson Sphere Program and Plan B: Terraform. Only caveat is that Plan B: Terraform is really processor heavy, so make sure your rig meets the minimum spec, better yet the recommended spec.

[@bulkvanderhuge9006]

Nice to see new types of games, I'm so tired of Zombie Survival Games.

[@cmhatte]

Moose Miners is so dumb.... and I love it. haha. Perfect game for playing while watching a movie/show. BTW, WHAT is the game in your intro? (at 0:04 - 0:24 seconds)

[@ThatDraggy]

That's Infinifactory. A lovely factory puzzling game where you build production lines to solve levels.

[@smithynoir9980]

Factorio: Space Age looks so damn goood!

[@Whimpy13]

Captain of industry has, imho, the best terraforming ever.

[@nicholastreadwell3195]

Revive and prosper is timberborn with belts and catapults

[@enlightendbel]

I don't think Satisfactory is anywhere near getting out of EA. They just did the first stages of the monumental task of upgrading the games engine from UE4 to UE5 and then upped UE5 to UE5.2 and will likely upgrade again to UE5.3 and subsequent versions of the engine. This isn't something you do when you're ready to call a product finished. This is something you do when you have big plans and the new engine facilitates executing these plans. While the EU5 upgrade gives some major engine improvements, you'll be hard pressed to recognize the graphical difference between the UE4 and UE5 versions. The big advantages are in the unseen part of the engine and you don't upgrade an unseen part of the engine unless you plan to use the advantages that brings.

[@Enderking394]

Satisfactory is my favorite factory game

[@Glorgol]

What's the game In the intro with the constructing on conveyor

[@GamerZakh]

That would be Infinifactory.

12:35: "Intergalactic factory" well not yet, only interstellar so far

[@spinal151286]

what are the names of the games in the intro @GamerZakh?

[@GamerZakh]

In the intro it's Infinifactory, Mindustry, Factory Town, and Production Line.

[@mikem9607]

Isn't Shapez 2 targeting a 2024 release?

[@GamerZakh]

Ah I read it was planning a 2025 release and didn't realise it was saying early access in 2024.

[@beatmoralimprove]

I'm sad that Scorchlands didn't make the list, the game is pretty, casual, and has a unique style.

[@Illumas]

watching this video literally while playing Satisfatory lol

[@Mark73]

Shapez 2 is coming out pretty soon, and it's 3D this time.

[@GamerZakh]

Shapez 2 has a 2025 release date, but I missed that they're looking at mid-2024 for early access.

[@ThereWasATime]

Revive and Prosper looks like Timberborn without polish.

[@GamerZakh]

When Timberborn started people said it was like Banished without polish haha.

[@rhueoflandorin]

[@GamerZakh]

That's Factory Town, I listed that in previous years and it's released now.

[@sovietpowersupereme6231]

ah.@@StarlightLumi

[@teseutressoldi3972]

Alot of these games focus on the factory. I think factorio is still the best because there is factory AND combat.

[@SurKhal]

Satisfactory is the best!

[@choumoune]

Automation Station looks like Astroneer from top, no?

[@elitejv]

I've been loving Dyson Sphere Project ever since the start of the early access release, but I'll be honest: I hope they're not focusing too much on the combat stuff. I have zero interest in that, and will be disabling it in any future playthroughs. Would rather have them expand ideas like alternative recipes, more resource types, etc... I'm also the kind of guy who set up the biters in Factory to be non-respawning. I don't mind clearing them out, but I don't want this "Struggle for survival" theme to be the core. I want to be able to sit still for a few hours and not be under any kind of active threat, other than resources running out.

[@tomikexboii5403]

You didn't mention that Factorio was the game that started the interest into developing Satisfactory and the other Factory Games.

[@GamerZakh]

Games are inspired from all sorts of things, I could speak about that forever. Minecraft mods (IndustrialCraft and BuildCraft) inspired Factorio, I could mention that. Minecraft copied Infiniminer, so I could go there too.

[@jonathankennedy2888]

Shapez 2!!!

[@GamerZakh]

I saw they were planning a 2025 release and didn't realise they were looking at 2024 for early access.

The Factorio DLC looks like the space exploration mod because they hired the modder who made space exploration to work on the DLC 😂

I think it is the other way around, Earendel works at Wube and makes factorio mods on his free time

[@OldGamerScott]

[@Deathwish026]

what game is the outro game ??? might wanna list that if your showing it facepalm

[@GamerZakh]

I did list it, for years. It's Factory Town. I'm trying something new, showing already released games for the intro and outro. It's an excuse to show an already released good game in an upcoming list video and people get curious and look for it or ask about it. It's a win all around.

[@alfonsneumann1878]

Satisfactory since mid 2020? At that time it was already over 2 years old and on update 3. Mid 2020 it went to steam in addition to epic, so it's quite old right now.

[@GamerZakh]

Oh right forgot the year on Epic, it was 1 year old at that time, initial Epic exclusive launch was 2019.

[@stefmixo]

since 19 march 2019@@GamerZakh

[@snart]

Can anyone recommend one for beginners? Some of these can be overwhelming. :)

[@AIRaceMAT]

Satisfactory. It was my first. Update 8 also brought various game settings that allow for infinite power, invincibility, passive mode, etc, so you can make the game as simple as you want.

[@snart]

@@AIRaceMAT Thanks!

[@Fastwinstondoom]

Not my genre at all, but here's a comment for the almighty algorithm ;)

[@GamerZakh]

Thank you! I appreciate the support

[@SmileyVallo]

People get wrong idea about game going to 1.0. It often means game wont be getting new content, features other than hotfix. Same for satisfactory, they told if its going 1.0 they wont be adding more mega game changing updates like they do atm. But satisfactory has big mod community around 400mods to config your game to ur liking. Factorio i cant play because it makes me feel dizzy 2d, patterns and when moving around. Just not for me, but i enjoyed it otherwise for hundred hours.

[@GamerZakh]

The way I see 1.0 is that the developers consider it 'feature complete', so the primary vision is implemented. More content can be on the way though. But mainly, once you label a game '1.0', what it's telling the players is that it's a safe buy and you're going to get what is promise. As long as a game says they aren't 1.0 yet, then I'm more lenient because they're clearly saying "this is not finished, buy at your own risk", which I respect more for their honesty and I'm more lenient with judging. Once a game is 1.0, I judge it as a complete game and if it's not complete I judge it harder because they're not being honest with people.

[@SmileyVallo]

No man sky was a released game not early access. But now they have update it with massive amount of features that never suppose to be there in first place. Without extra cost and still being updated every 2-6 months. I played at 1.0 i had a great time but now its overwhelming content that i dont know where to start playing so i havent. Funny how some negatively viewed game ends up that way that there is too much in it. Its only game i know that done it opposite way.@@GamerZakh

[@StarlightLumi]

In the specific case of Satisfactory, you're wrong. They've stated they're saving the story for 1.0, so it will never be available in the EA version. kinda annoying listening to the disembodied voice around the artifacts, but you can turn that off now at least.

[@Danimal197]

What game is the intro?

[@GamerZakh]

In the intro it's Infinifactory, Mindustry, Factory Town, and Production Line.

[@HanakoSeishin]

Hey, all these games look like they actually fit the genre. You're leaving me nothing to complain about! 🙂

[@DeoFayte]

Astro Colony is in a nice place right now, as long as you don't want to play multiplayer. It still needs a good chunk of polish for multiplayer. Constantly desyncs causing bots and scientists to multiply visually.

[@teradgames7609]

Thanks! Did you try co-op on the dedicated servers? There are many free public servers you can play currently on.

[@nilsvids]

You kind of sound like Real Civil Engineer, except if you told me you were an engineer I would believe you

[@GamerZakh]

Haha well I'm not an engineer, I was a school teacher though.

[@nilsvids]

@@GamerZakh your video is well done

[@GamerZakh]

@@nilsvids Thank you!

[@Eaggradruide]

Game developers are real cruel these days. They make addicting games that you will never have the time for playing them :-(. Everything looks really interesting. For me I will stay with Factorio (and its upcoming expansion) for now. (But maybe its possible I will take a look in one of those anyway ;-) )

[@ostlandr]

The doggone devs and studios keep putting awesome games with great reviews on sale. I haven't added to my 3k+ hours in Factorio in quite a while. I've got Valheim, Dwarf Fortress, Deep Rock Galactic, and now Baldur's Gate 3 all going on.

[@MLMariss]

You said JIFS, not GIFS, I cannot accept that.

[@GamerZakh]

Tomahtoe/tomaytoe. Ahprikot/ayprikot. Vahse/vayse. Garrarje/garrej I never understood why gif/jif was more of an issue than the hundreds of other words with multiple pronunciations. Both are in the dictionaries.

[@MLMariss]

@@GamerZakh, I believe it is more US vs World thing not lingunistics. American obsession to pronounce G as they do, but for rest of the (non-English languages) G is pronounced as in word Günther :D And this 'debate' is older than the world and more of a joke tease! I did my part to boost KZbin algorythms for your video, so you see I'm a good guy here afterall ;)

[@GamerZakh]

@@MLMariss Haha thank you! A bunch have been coming for me on this video because of that.

[@MLMariss]

Rightfuly so, man :D But never the less - nice work here, I'm scouting from more games to play and make sure I haven't missed any!

[@metalfiregametime652]

In general I don't like early access ever since a lot of game devs started putting their games into early access and abandoning the project after grabbing some money. Foundry has been in "coming soon" at least a good couple years. Hard to say if it will ever come out. It could be as dead as deadstick.

[@GamerZakh]

Yeah but an 'early access' label is a game being honest. Do you prefer what games like Cyberpunk, No Man's Sky, and Cities Skylines 2 do? They 'release' but are clearly unfinished, then spend years fixing the game. It's not labelled 'early access', but isn't it the same thing without being honest about it? Just because a game doesn't say it's early access, doesn't mean it isn't early access.
