Fun concept, interesting challenges.

But the amount of bugs happening on very core gameplay is not acceptable, roads not working randomly, factory stopping their operation with plenty of raw resources around.

Not really worth the asking price, not polished, Orange Potion have no known usage, just really feels like a beta.

Somehow I had fun still, so there's that.

Fun at first, but you explore everything interesting very quickly. Every upgrade and new feature gives either only a quantitative upgrade or a boring new mechanic.

Boring lore, pretty bad controls, combat's fine if a bit too simple.

Surprisingly polished, lots of different viable tactic to progress

Way too easy. Difficulty barely ramp up, optionnal (harder) levels are just as simple. Frequently have multiple levels in a row about doing the exact same thing in a slightly different context.

Amazing environment, the 4 biomes are completely unique, you need to adapt how you build your bases/outpost in each one and they all look gorgeous.

The core gameplay is pretty fun, but lack quite a lot of polish and QoL, hopefully they’ll work on that later down the line, with the DLC coming.

The campaign is pretty good but not quite enough to be replayable, and the “survival” mode is a not what you’d expect, it’s only a very short scenario, build a base with limited technology and defend it through a few monster waves, that’s it.

They’re working on adding multiplayer, and while that would be awesome, it also needs to be more open-ended at the end so we can build huge base and tackle self-made challenges.

Bullet sponge - the game

364 levels and, somehow, they're almost all unique and interesting. Not the hardest puzzle game, but pretty fun all the way to the end.

I was unsure at the price at first, but it took quite a while to complete every puzzle, well worth the price

Some lack of direction, but simple gameplay with plenty of depth, really fun

Loved NGU Idle, and while many things are quite interesting in NGU Industrie, the main gameplay feels boring and tedious.

You can take a lot of time optimizing a chain of production, with beacon effect and stacking them on different production with different purpose and limitation, it's very well made. But then you have access to a LOT of research, but most of them are the same thing over and over again, nothing stand out much. Every time you complete new reseach it changes the production ratio and skews your carefully engineered production line, so you end up half-assing some sort of "good enough" and ends up in a constant feeling of botching it, which makes me feel bad.

There's also some frustrating balance issue, but will most probably be addressed in the early patches, so it's not a big issue
