Factorio goes up in price over time, so now is always the best time to buy Factorio.
Been meaning to check out the expansion, good?
If you enjoyed the base game, you'll like the expansion. It's a lot more content with tons of new things to deal with and optimize.
Quite good. Sans any real spoilers:
Space is a lot more accessible in the early game, and in space ~~no one can hear you scream ~~ there's a lot more complications than normal, including really turning factory planning and scaling on its head on one planet.
Really mixed it up, much more than the SE mod did (which was good, but just felt like scaling more than unique challenges)
Awesome, I was sure they wouldn't disappoint.
It's that pricing model which has consistently kept me away. Lots of people like it, and it's supposed to be really fun, but it's not the only fun factory builder out there.
I'd rather get a good deal, and I've never (re)played a solo game for anywhere close to the thousands of hours some people have played Factorio. I might be missing out, but I can buy an entire bundle of games for that price and still have money leftover.
It's not a $60 or $70 game, but certainly is better than most of the AAA offerings of late. Maybe think of it like it's a full priced game that's always on sale? You do you though. I thought it was well worth the asking price.
And that's what some people have said. I'll play the demo tonight, but even for lots of fun, I can think of other ways to spend $35, as that's a large sum for me.
But who knows? Maybe it will knock my socks off.
I always rate my games on price per hour played, rather than just total cost.
Factorio is one of my cheapest games ever.
