Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Game is super optimized, this is a cruddy dual core 3rd gen Ryzen 3, and it runs the game 60 fps just fine, without even using 6/16 gigs of ram it has.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Played with a friend and has been so fun, almost 30 hours at this point and no idea where the time went.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Shockingly accessible considering how high the skill ceiling is- i am not ordinarily the type of person that enjoys automation games, and held off on starting for a long time because I was intimidated by Factorio's astronomical skill ceiling.
