Techtonica

A very solid exploration and factory game. The story is the best in the explore/factory genre and exploring is fun and satisfying. Nicely, the game doesn't require dozens of hours to really get it -- I finished the story up to the desert biome in about 12 hours in my second playthrough (first was much early during the alpha). The cavernous surroundings are lush and great to walk around in. I strongly recommend this for fans of the genre. It is very similar to Satisfactory -- not as polished but a nice break and a much better story. My only particular con is that the factory can become tedious. I ended up for having my factory just about half-automated. Most early-game items were made by two lines of copper & iron ingots that fed into a line of machines that sometimes built intermediaries for their neighbors. For some early game crafting I hand-fed the missing parts. Most of my late tech machines are highly hand fed because it just isn't worth making the conveyor belt spaghetti. Fortunately their input inventory is high.

Very enjoyable, in the begening and mid tiers, gets really messy at the end , which is OK I guess. Looks like there´s many many sessions of gameplay ahead of this first 40 hours

Check other negative reviews after 1.0, it is very well explained what they did to the game and how the devs handled it and behaved

Devs didn't listen, tried to fund the game primarily through early access (which the guidelines say not to do) and also decided it would be a great idea to try to develop it for multiple consoles at the same time. Shockingly this failed. And then they blamed the failure on lack of sales. I don't care if the game is good or bad, don't support that kind of crap

They beta was great and fun, but the initial release feels super weird and there's way less resources making it more of a waiting game than just playing. Plus the devs went bankrupt so it's not getting anymore updates.

Игра стартовала бодро, играть было интересно, но потом в одном из обновлений переделали локации, и ввели лифт. Это спорное, на мой взгляд, решение. Дольше странные решения разработчика: 12 этаж пески, тупо растягивание игрового процесса, пока эти пески вычисти, пока доберись до сюжетных локаций.... [spoiler]Ну а под конец просто сюжет остается недосказанным...[/spoiler]

meh. decent

Had great potential. Too bad they abandoned it.
