I hate it. It's the worst game in all of human history. It's all colorful and pretty and flashy, using that cheerful exterior to slowly suck out your soul and devour every last ounce of brain power you have available. It takes over your every waking moment, leaving you an empty husk of a person who's only purpose is to keep the numbers growing.

The numbers must grow... the revolutions must continue...

10/10, will continue to revolve.

My first playthrough completed after nearly 300 hours, all I can say is YES! This DLC is absolutely amazing from top to bottom.

The added planets have diverse needs and resources that require you build things a little different for each. More than that, they also contribute buildings, resources, and tech to your main base.

Space platforms/ships are a great addition to the game, adding another layer of logistical challenge that is neither too easy, nor too hard.

While some may compare Space Age to the mod "Space Exploration", then unfairly rate the DLC because of it, I think Space Age does a fantastic job of expanding what we all love about Factorio, without completely overhauling everything and making it harder for more casual players.

Solid 9/10.

There's so much about this game that I do like, want to like, and could like in the future.

Graphically it's beautiful, with stunning vistas during all time of the day. The building pieces for houses and crafting look great, offering up a lot of options for construction in the medieval style.

But, the game suffers from a few big problems.

First, the gameplay is fairly shallow, propped up mainly by time-sinks and a huge emphasis on needing large clans to support individual growth.

Second, the map, while beautiful, suffers from a couple of issues. The biggest problem that I've seen so far, is that it's mostly mountains. Everything is a mountain, everything is major elevation changes with extreme highs and lows. It feels uncanny or unnatural, making it not always pleasant to navigate the map.

As well, the game also suffers from "Minecraft City Syndrome." If you've ever played on a Minecraft server that had a city for people to buy plots to build on, you'll understand. But for those that haven't, there are so many plots that have been put down, that are nothing but a few boxes and a campfire, or a few foundations and some crafting stations, with nothing else. All of these are mingled within other builds that are majestic castles and grand fortresses.

Combat also needs some major love, as it feels very one-dimensional at the moment. You swing weapon, or stab weapon, or shoot weapon. Sometimes, if you have a shield, you stop to block an attack, then go back to the afore mentioned. It's basic, and in a game that half-developed around meaningful pvp, the combat should be in a much better state.

As others have mentioned, travel is also a large issue. The only way to get anywhere is to run on foot. Given the scope of the maps, that can take a hefty amount of time, with no real meaningful pay off for the amount of time spent doing so.

There are a lot of things here that could make for a much better game in the future. But as of right now, needs more time in the oven and a whole lot more work put into it.

An amazing little game that can be incredibly enjoyable for newbie programmers, as well as a fun toy for experienced programmers as well. Well worth the asking price, and a gem of a game.

A fun little drilling adventure game with a cute story and enjoyable gameplay. If you want something to tool around with that doesn't require a ton of time, this is a good one to get.

A great co-op shooter that brings back the fun and excitement that games like Left 4 Dead 1/2 used to give me. Tense battles, comical "accidental" friendly fires, and lots of ways to blow stuff up for Managed Democracy! Worth the price tag, and absolutely a great game to play with friends.

EDIT: Thanks to every single Diver that stood against the oncoming storm and helped to protect that which we love. Because Arrowhead took the heat, and because they admitted to their error despite Sony being the bigger threat, they have kept a modicum of my respect.

Back to the war, ladies and gents! We have bugs and bots to kill!

For me, it's the end game that really sells it!

An absolute blast to play! Everything you love about bullet heaven game types, with a bunch of badass dwarves! Well worth the pricetag.

I played the basic version and absolutely loved it, when I finally gave it a chance and allowed myself to get sucked into the world. This version does all of that, and then some, with the extra features and content.

Overall, this game is an amazing experience that can stick with you for a long time afterwards. It's typically "Kojima" in that way where things don't always make sense, but it doesn't disappoint and everyone brings their "A game" to the table.

If you want something that is equal measures of calm and tranquil, as well as tense and actiony, this is a great one to pickup.

Despite it's name and what spicy content you find on the cards, it's a solid set of solitaire games that does exactly what it's supposed to do. It doesn't hurt that the card backs are pretty, too. ;)
