For those who have played it, what your thoughts on Satisfactory?

As above - interested in what people's impressions are!

For those unaware, it's an automation-focused sandbox game, kinda like Factorio but 3D. I played my first session yesterday in co-op with my partner - and 6 hours disappeared fairly damn quickly!

For me - I'm really liking the look and feel; the world is... rich, both the UI and component animations are extremely satisfying to watch, and the corporate-overlord theming is working better than I would have guessed.

I never played Factorio, but I imagine this is hitting a lot of the same notes from a gameplay perspective - automating manual tasks and connecting everything via conveyor belts, generally creating a factory of production and exploiting the environment for the company's gain.

It's hard to describe, but this type of game satiates a part of my brain which loves a perfectly closed system, which loves seeing that last puzzle piece slot in, which loves watching a chain of dominoes fall, but couldn't bear the thought of cleaning it all up.

Of course, this game is mired in Epic Games Store exclusivity - this didn't really move the needle for me whatsoever (for me, it's just another launcher to throw on the pile), interested to hear from those who this would be a deal breaker for though.
