This game is amazing. I truly wish I had more time in the day to sit down and play for longer sessions at a time. I’ve barely touched on all the great things in this review. (I didn’t even mention that there are vehicles too until just now!) There’s always something that I am looking to do next. Just knowing how much time I’ll eventually put into it drives that even more. Satisfactory has become a modern gem from where it started five years ago in early access. It is well-deserving of the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.

A frighteningly enjoyable fast-forward button that you can use in real life.

Satisfactory's full release has been long overdue and thankfully it's well worth the wait. It's at the tippy top of the automation genre and this is thanks to the hard work Coffee Stain Studios has been implementing over the years, implementing many a quality of life and following player advice. What it's resulted in is some of the most satisfying automation and resource pipeline mechanics and gameplay I've ever experienced in games. It's as deep as you want it for the hardcore players or as accessible and palatable as you need for the newbies. Additionally, its deliberately bespoke alien world is breathtaking in design and visuals, filled with many bite-sized adventures to be had no matter how few steps you take from your camp. Satisfactory is the final frontier for co-operative crafting and exploration games for me. Give it a chance and it might just be yours too.

Despite its name, Satisfactory is much more than merely adequate – its finely tuned loop of automation and escalating expansion is downright excellent.

Supremely satisfying factory-building on a beguiling alien planet. It is already 3am.

After five years of refinement, the official release of Satisfactory has earned its place among the best in its genre. It boasts the most impressive visuals for this type of game, and its well-designed milestone system provides players with a steady stream of goals and motivation. The deep, meticulous mechanics constantly push me to optimize the chaotic factories I've painstakingly built.

Satisfactory 1.0 is the culmination of years of development, community feedback, and constant polishing. The result is a deep, addictive and, yes, tremendously satisfying game (and pardon the pun, but there is no better way to describe it). If you're into building, optimizing or simply creating gigantic things, don't hesitate: Satisfactory is your game. It's the kind of experience that absorbs you completely, challenges you intellectually, and rewards you with the satisfaction of seeing your creations come to life.

It’s surreal to see a game I played in my first year of work at Shacknews finally find its way to that Version 1.0. I couldn’t be happier for Coffee Stain after its lengthy journey, but it helps that this is a really dang good sim, and a true creative sandbox. I think the freeform nature of Satisfactory is both its greatest power and its most intimidating offering, simply because the sheer lack of guidance can leave players directionless and overwhelmed, especially as you wait and stew on it while resources bake in the early game. However, the sheer beauty of Satisfactory as you slowly expand a little base into a highly programmed and automated industrial machine is a neat and rewarding process, and if you have a friend or two to bring along, all the more fun.

In a game with the scope and polish of Satisfactory one hundred hours can be just the beginning of building the industrial powerhouse of your dreams.
