About

Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. In the beginning you will find yourself chopping trees, mining ores and crafting mechanical arms and transport belts by hand, but in short time you can become an industrial powerhouse, with huge solar fields, oil refining and cracking, manufacture and deployment of construction and logistic robots, all for your resource needs. However this heavy exploitation of the planet's resources does not sit nicely with the locals, so you will have to be prepared to defend yourself and your machine empire.

    Overall, Factorio is a game that offers a great deal of depth and challenge for those who enjoy strategy and optimization games. While there are some minor frustrations, they do not detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    Despite some issues with the way the Switch port is presented and controls, these are minor issues in an otherwise stellar game that will have you obsessing over the best possible layout for your factory or wanting to keep playing to see what the next research tree unlocks.

    Still, it’s got everything important, and that should be more than enough to keep the cycle going. The machines must grow, and you shall be their farmer.

    That's the thematic icing on Factorio's stupendously intricate mechanical cake. I can't remember the last time a game swallowed my brain whole in the way Factorio does. I spent most of my time writing this review fighting the urge to stop and play more. It's even spilled over into my dreams. I see conveyor belts when I close my eyes. It's the best management game I've played for ages, a manufacturing masterpiece.

    Factorio isn’t a particularly pretty game on Switch, but it sure is a clever one. After a surprisingly long initial loading screen, it runs fairly smoothly on the Switch. It asks little of you in terms of input, but rewards your patience and experimentation with new items and inventions to add to your growing production line.

    Cerca del final, de mi final con un juego teóricamente infinito, mi industria se muestra malévola y cancerosa de forma evidente, como una enredadera de carbón, y se me vuelve imposible conciliar el mimo que le dedico con el rechazo que me produce hacerla prosperar. Otro día cualquiera, aún sin síntomas de que el juego se esté agotando, vuelvo del trabajo a las diez de la noche, y me lavo del pelo el marrón de las soldaduras de arco, y enciendo mi ordenador y Factorio —inteligentísimo, pulido, adictivo, de densidad imposible— ha logrado enseñarme lo que hay en él que antes no podía ver, ahora es lo que aborrezco.
