      I love DSP - Best factory game out there for me - love the new update Dark Fog its that good I would of paid for it as DLC - Does not feel like an early access game does it :)

    Satisfactory (Especially with mods, I have like 30) is my go to for right now. The mechanics are just so... satisfying. And I love finding new ways to improve and compact my factories to make them more efficient. The I'll go back and decorate my factory buildings to make them look aesthetic and detailed. (on the insides at least, the outside just looks like a gray cube lol)

    Factorio is my go to at the moment, trying to build my first mega base, highly unlikely though as spaghetti is my food of choice 😂, however I do have pretty much all of your games here wishlisted.
    I’m very interested in trying the new update for the Dyson sphere program.

      Lol you two are funny. The update made huge changes, seemed worth a mention for anyone in the comments that hadn't heard of it. Idrc if it's on the 2023 list or not. It is automation and had an update a few days before the video so it felt relevant. Thanks for being the accuracy police in the comment section though, you're doing great work.

    This was like watching a list of a very small portion of my Steam wishlist and library.
    Right now I'm obsessing over Gridroad, a very simple concept traffic management game that's all about getting the right color cars to the same color flag exit.
    About 5$ of flow gameplay that came out the 6th of December, it's simplicity is deceptive and soon there's a global high score list implemented after release.

    Great video - But to be honest I am surprised you did not put Dyson Spare Program in this video - and it just had its biggest update Dark Fog - please show DSP
    Ok here my factory game list
    1. Dyson Spare Program ( best factory game I ever played and it feels like a finished game even though its in Early Access still - and for me its the best factory game on Steam
    2. InfoSpace - another game but not had a chance to play 1.0 yet - but its another great game
    3. Automation Epaire Now this one for me is sad story - I loved the gamr when it came out - but sadly the Devs have dumped it - it was a full relase though

    but Desynced and Techtonica Look fun. and Satisfactory is probably 1 more year away from release. maybe more. but they did finally drop the update in 5.1 engine. game is running better than ever. i had it since update 4. this is 8... or 9.. i forget lol. but my god i struggled to run it in 4. lol now same factory save world runs max graphics and buttery smooth.

  • @SenjaiYT
    @SenjaiYT ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I find these recommendations suspicious. a few of these recommendations have some serious bugs or shortcomings for their price, and in the case of industries of titan that game will never ever be done or fully realized. Infraspace is also fairly controversial based on the games ergonomics and bugs. I know reviews are subjective, but I kind of wish it referenced more of the common gripes and downsides with some of the games on this list.
    It still feels odd Captain of Industry, or games that are pretty close to complete but also are relatively bug free and actively played are missing.

      Bingo. There’s about a hundred or so channels that just script out quick blurbs from reviews and edit them together. Then they’ll reuse each game script per game and use them in TOP 10 SO AND SO GENRE, TOP 10 STEAM SALES TO LOOK OUT FOR! And then change “2023” to “2024”

      DSP doesn't qualify since it's still in early access, only games being released on early access or when they promote to full release are they allowed to have a spot on the best of list.

    Disliked the video. As a factory game enthusiast I find this list too bloated to be useful. Even though you may have spent time playing those games, you have not gone nearly in depth enough with any of them for you to be able to distinguish the best ones.
    Then I went to look at the rest of your channel, you have made around 20 videos playing my favourite factory game. Yet you never mentioned by far the best part about it, it's rich multiplayer and moding community which features 20+ custom game modes with active playerbases of various skill levels. Yet I still see you doing the most basic mistakes in that game, which prove to me you understand nothing about why that game is one of the best factory builder games currently. Which is why you managed to make 20 hours of content on it and still miss the gold.
