Captain of Industry

It is in early access, but it is a masterpiece already. You need to use your brain during gameplay. I do love the complexity and the long term impact of today's actions. The game is full of great design elements and very well balanced. The userinterface is as good as a userinterface could be with a lot of thought behind it. There is close to no need to leave the game for any relevant information you need. I checkt for the wiki or other sources in the internet very seldom, as ingame information handling is perfect. Down to the smal but very helpfull details, like a ingame calculator or a rightlick on a symbol to dive into the libary of recepiece at the proper position. The game offers extremly longterm fun to play and to think, rethink, optimize and reoptimize your iland. Great applaus.

This is quite a complex game, but it is incredibly rewarding if you enjoy automation games. You quickly learn that you really can't afford to make big mistakes. You need to plan well ahead, otherwise you'll end up scrambling to fix your production lines, and that can trigger massive cascading problems throughout your entire base. You'll learn that lesson soon enough! Even though the game is still in early development, I had zero crashes and didn't run into any noticeable bugs during my playthrough. The developers also keep pushing out small but really nice quality-of-life improvements. As for the two DLCs, they're absolutely not required and don't affect the experience. I bought them simply because I wanted to support the developers. It definitely made it into my top 3 automation games, alongside Factorio and Satisfactory. At the same time, it's different enough that it feels like a completely new experience, with its own unique mechanics. I'll definitely start another run eventually, probably on one of the newer maps.

Got just over a 1000 hours in the game, it has been my chill goto game, however lately towards the "endgame" or as your Island develops the performance has become shocking with or without mods and believe me I've tried everything to stabilize the performance , unless I'm missing something. My impressions lately have been leaning more towards mixed or frustrated as the game tanks and becomes unplayable. So if anybody knows of a tip or trick out there let me know in the comments. Other than that a really cool game but as mentioned before frustrating. So for now it's a no as I've never really got to enjoy the "endgame" dynamic, rockets, asteroids etc etc and for the record if you are thinking of investing time in the game your factories and island never end up looking like they do in the videos unless you sandbox the game and the journey can be pretty annoying. The devs are pretty proactive and interactive with regards to updates and improvements but in my experience as mention above the performance is lacking if not going backwards.

Love this game, the details are wonderful

Good game!

A very fun and indepth city/factory management game. If you enjoyed factorio or satisfactory you will enjoy this.
