Pros
Pro Works well on most hardware
This is not very a resource intensive game, meaning it should work just fine on lower end systems.
Pro Fantastic community
Great community will keep you coming back for more.
Pro Very good graphics
The game has pleasant and realistic graphics that should appeal to anyone looking for a real life army shooter.
Pro Easy to try
The game is free, meaning there is no cost to test the game in order to see how it performs or if the gameplay is appealing.
Pro Competitive at highest levels
Someone who's not good at this game won't be able to kill someone who knows how to play by luck.
It could happen ONCE with an across-the-map grenade but it is not like Call of Duty multiplayer where you end up killing someone eventually.
If you suck at this game or if these are your first match don't be surprised to have a 0-15 as K/D at the end of the match.
Pro Endless solutions
With proper planning, users can "code" together very precise ways to create all the things needed for the game, some in very inventive ways that can differ quite a bit. This allows for tons of replayability.
Pro Under active development
The game is still in Alpha which means endless future possibilities.
Pro Massive and infinite procedurally generated world
The playing world is as large as you want to explore, it automatically generates it as you explore more areas.
Pro Cooperative or PvP building
Factorio also supports multiplayer, allowing many players to cooperate and assist each other, or work against each other in PvP. By default, multiplayer games run the CO-OP freeplay scenario where all players work together to launch a rocket with a satellite into space.
Pro Charming old school graphics
While not the most technically advanced graphics the look of the game is much like a game from the 90s but seeing it in action when an assembly line starts moving there is an impressiveness to it that suits the game quite well.
Cons
Con Uses Steam
Con Can become rather repetitive
There's really little payoff for being able to build really long chains of automation, it usually results in being able to open a new tech tree which allows the player to continue the process of building automation chains ad infinitum, which, admittedly can become rather boring after a while.
Con Still in Early Access
The game is still in Early Access which means there will be bugs as well as missing features.
