Even with over 40 hours on my most-played save, some of the higher-end factories I've seen others build look like absolute witchcraft – it’s the kind of game that can become a second job if you let it. But thanks to an ever increasing alien threat and some well-placed keystone techs that give you new toys and really change things up, I never hit a point of complete monotony where I felt like I was just building things to build more things for no particular reason. I could easily see myself sinking hundreds more hours into this elaborate contraption, seeing how big I can build and trying out totally new base layouts. It's got a very high buy-in to learn, but Factorio rewards you with entertaining logistics puzzles and a sense of ownership over something colossal and impressive if you put the time in.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002Farticles\u002Ffactorio-review","2000-01-01",{"id":78,"author":79,"outlet":82,"summary":87,"review_url":88,"review_date":89,"original_score":46,"normalized_score":47},103027,{"id":80,"name":81},9026,"Cal Stevenson",{"id":83,"logo":84,"name":85,"website_url":86,"score_format":42},140,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fcheckpoint-gaming.jpg","Checkpoint Gaming","https:\u002F\u002Fcheckpointgaming.net\u002F","Factorio is a game that’s been culminating a lot of love ever since releasing onto Steam as an Early Access title back in 2016.
