Satisfactory

Satisfactory is a first-person open-world adventure where the hero works for the FICSIT corporation and develops an alien planet. In addition to construction, there is exploration, search for resources and skirmishes with local wildlife. The first hours keep you in suspense: the tools are simple, but you have to explore the planet literally by touch. The planet is large and divided into biomes: deserts, forests, rocks and swamps, and materials are extracted from ore deposits manually and only then automated. The first conveyors stretch from drilling rigs to smelters, and then the chains grow to entire factories. Blueprints are unlocked through research and orders, which makes the idea of ​​pipes and trains no longer seem fantastic. The corporation’s orders push forward: new technologies, vehicles and equipment are awarded for completing milestones. Logistics becomes a separate challenge, since power lines, pipes and trains must operate without stopping. Living creatures can be dangerous: some creatures attack in packs, others climb onto the base, and you have to fight them off or put up fences. You can play alone or with friends, dividing production areas between each other, and modifications allow you to interfere with the balance and appearance of buildings. Some players spend months straightening conveyors and rearranging pipes, and this is considered normal here. Prefabricated platforms, glass galleries and signs have long become a separate genre within the game. For those who like to plan and watch how the plant works itself, such a sandbox replaces a dozen strategies.
