How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Satisfactory
You build gigantic factories in first person on a gorgeous alien planet. Conveyor belts, trains and industrial skyscrapers designed however you like. More visual and exploratory than Factorio, and great fun in co-op.
