I thought this game was well known but I haven’t seen almost any mentions of it recently. It’s very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

What do you not like about it?
Graphics. I hate old games.
Is 2020 considered old…?. I understand that the game was available for some time prior to that, but during that period Factorio was in early access. 1.0 came out in 2020, and I am treating that as the full release, and everything prior to that is beta testing for development.
I meant old looking graphics too. Factorio definitely has it.
Factorio’s art style may draw its inspiration from older games that had technological limitations that forced specific art techniques, but I’d only be guessing — I haven’t found any official source that states where Factorio drew its artistic inspiration.
He just told you: “it looks terrible.” And he’s not wrong; Factorio’s art really does kinda suck.
Man I love factorio’s art, had no idea people thought it was bad. Maybe at release. But there’s alot of attention to detail in the sprites, even the trees sway gently in the breeze. You don’t see that often in other games of a similar style.
It’s the color palette. It’s genuinely terrible. The pixel art itself looks pretty good but those colours just kill it.
Edit: god damn UK phone… color not colour.
I don’t think it necessarily sucks. It’s just old and I’m not a fan of it.
Calling Factorios graphics bad on a post praising Mindustry is just absurd.
