Our take
Factorio is about building automated factories that mine, smelt, and assemble themselves while you design the next, bigger system. It starts simple and ends as a logistical symphony.
It is the ultimate "just one more tweak" game. Best on PC with mouse and keyboard, where laying out sprawling belts feels like play, not work.
