This game is just beautiful in its excecution. I would reocmmend the game just for that reason. Behold, a good idea done very, very well! I cannot believe how well it runs, wiht the amount of complexity you wind up building in your factory. And as you discover how to build and automate the next little piece of your grownig factory, you suspect you might be learning about how big, complex projects get accomplished. And suddenly it's 2 AM, and you need to get up in 4 hours. Genre-wise, I'd say it's a base-building game gone mad, with some tower defense elements (which sort of take a back seat, depending on your map settings). Maps are infinitely large, and veteran players haven't taken this fact for granted. Seriously, the size and scope of some bases is unbelievable. For me, a game that makes you build very complicated things endlessly doesn't sound appealing at first glance. But play the demo, and get a sense for what the game might be like. I was very surprised how quickly it pulled me in. And now, I just tell myself Factorio is teaching me about project management, industrial manufacturing, and more, and I play as much as I want, guilt free! (I own this game on Steam, not GOG).
