Factorio is a fun game about automation, forward planning and expansion, and a true test of how long you can last without food or socialising. Playing this game makes you lose all sense of time, a need to eat or any interest in joining the social construct. All you will think about is how your factory must grow, and you will realise that a solid 14 hour grind to improve red circuit production by about 0.2% is completely worth it. Of course you aren't alone in your venture, as you will be joined by massive insect-like creatures that will stop at nothing to destroy your beautiful, beautiful factory, and must be squashed under any circumstance.
The Story of Factorio is simple: you become stranded on a hostile alien planet and must build a rocket to escape. That's it. However, even though the goal is simple, the journey of arriving to that goal takes so much longer than a sane mind would think. The game handles the various stages extremely well, and the game can be broken down into three main stages: The 'Scared as Hell' phase, the EXPANSION Phase, and the Logistics/Endgame phase. The 'Scared as Hell' phase lasts the shortest, but can go horribly wrong if the Biters manage to catch you off guard, as they will not stop to make sure all your hours of hard work go to waste. The EXPANSION Phase starts when you start to run out of your initial resources and you need to start branching outside of your initial factory (this is when you need to start using trains). Finally, the Logistics/Endgame phase is when producing items isn't really an issue anymore, its getting them from one factory to another, which is by far the most painful phase, but also most satisfying to get working.
The Music is great, maybe a bit repetitive. It has a strange sense of 'something is off', with some off the tracks ending on an off-note, making you think something is about to happen, or maybe you missed something when building a defensive structure that the biters could exploit...
Overall, Factorio is difficult to judge. Its a bit like crack, its full of positive feedback loops. You get automation for something working and you realise how amazing you are, only for that to lead onto the next task, which also gives you a feeling for more... making you addicted to constantly producing more and more items. To stop playing Factorio is hard, as once you stop you start craving the sense of completion, losing all sense of satisfaction from anything else, as it draws you back into its clutches. So, would a recovering addict advise someone else down a rabbit hole they themselves fell down? Yeah 100%. Play this game. Join us. And always remember, the factory must grow.
Factorio gets an 9/10.

Outer Wilds, is a masterpiece of exploration, storytelling, environmental art, music, and so much more. You play as an alien called a Hearthian, who is given all the equipment they need to explore their star system and learn about its past... all while stuck in a 22 minute time loop.
The gameplay of Outer Wilds is unique. You play as an astronaut who is stuck in a 22-minute time loop, but in order to find out why you have to explore a solar system full of secrets and mysteries. You can go anywhere you want, as long as you have enough fuel and oxygen. You can land on planets, fly into space stations, dive into oceans, and even enter black holes. The game gives you no objectives or hints, only curiosity and wonder.
The story of Outer Wilds is also amazing. As you explore, you discover the history of an ancient alien civilisation. You find their writings, their experiments, their hopes and fears. You also learn about your own culture, the Hearthians, who are a friendly and adventurous race of aliens. The story is full of surprises, twists, and revelations that will keep you hooked until the end.
The exploration of Outer Wilds is also rewarding. The game has a lot of achievements that you can unlock by finding hidden locations, solving puzzles, or doing something crazy. The achievements are not mandatory, but they add some fun and challenge to the game. The exploration is also enhanced by the music, which is beautiful and dynamic. The music changes depending on where you are and what you do, creating a unique soundtrack for your adventure.
Overall, Outer Wilds is a game that will be remembered for a long time. The story telling itself through exploration is so brilliantly crafted in this game, you really can start anywhere. Every location has its own story that eventually ties into the bigger picture. Each area has something that needs to be overcome, otherwise you are stuck. Once you overcome your fear, you will reach new heights and experience new revelations you never knew possible. Truly a great game.
Outer Wilds gets a 10/10.
