I was getting annoyed with the game for a while but tried getting through it out of pure spite.
Don't get me wrong the game is not without charm or promise, but it just doesn't work properly.
Progression is pretty arbitrary and stops giving you relevant or useful things, at some point it's just unlocking a bunch of nonsense for no real purpose.
A lot...
This game is very charming and I really enjoyed my first 10-15 hours or so, but somewhere in there, it doesn't do enough to mitigate the drudgery, and getting anything done just starts to feel onerous. Which then gets you to a point where you don't want to play anymore, even if you were excited to see more progression.
Some examples:
- You have to run...
due to the size of the inventory, the fact that you cant use the waypoints as soon as you unlock them and the size of the requests by the 10th hour i was spending most of my time walking across the map and waiting for machines because i didnt want to have to backtrack for their resources.
NEEDS LARGER ITEM STACKING
an automation adventure where the automation is fighting with you all the way.
My favorite game of this year I think :) Its about automation but the game is very unique and charming. The sparks are cute and the main character customization is also cute, so that's awesome.
Another amazing thing is amount of things you can do with the tools available, if you wanted to and put in the effort you could automate absolutely everything....
