Mindustry

This was a blast to play with my friend group. For anyone who wants to have another game similar to Factorio to play with friends I would highly recommend it. The threats presented in Mindustry are pretty different from the Factorio enemies. In Factorio, you can pretty comfortably rely on one defense strategy and offensives that are launched by you are either completely ineffectual or overwhelming. (This is a pretty large generalization on my part, I realize that.) But in Mindustry I think a bit more thought needs to be put into balancing offense, defense, and economy. In Mindustry I felt the time crunch a lot more that in Factorio… (Though, that’s probably because I mostly play on train worlds in Factorio.) It was a lot of fun working with friends under this time crunch to conquer a map.
Cons for me would be that it looks pretty ugly, haha. I tend to zone out a bit looking at the graphics. It can be difficult to understand what the graphics in the game are attempting to represent.
