If you do, say hi to the alien overlords for me. Anyone who's even slightly intrigued by its unique premise should definitely pick it up as it'll surely impress. Infinifactory is one of the best puzzle games that I've played in recent years. A sloppy solution is much better than no solution

In the end, it goes without saying that using a controller is inherently far more sensitive than playing on the PC but the developer definitely handled it as well as he could. Also, there were times when I accidentally rotated an object in the distance and didn't notice it until much later. It's moments like when you close the component select screen then place an object only to realise that you selected the wrong thing a split second before you closed the menu that become annoying after a while. Don't get me wrong, the controls are translated very intuitively from the mouse and keyboard PC version. The only problem that I had with the actual gameplay is the fact that playing with a controller can be finicky at times. That being said, the amount of fun that they'll have is unmatched in the genre. Only hardcore puzzle enthusiasts with a passion for perfection will get any enjoyment out of this. Therefore, if you're one of the people who assumed that it's a Minecraft clone and downloaded it because of that then you're probably disappointed since this is a far less accessible experience.

The biggest issue with Infinifactory (as you can already tell) is that it only appeals to a niche crowd. However, nothing is ever insurmountable and as you chip away one little bit at a time, you'll feel nothing but pure joy once the solution finally clicks. Solutions end up getting complicated rather quickly to the point where you may be overwhelmed early on. Some puzzle areas even include interactive features that require additional brain power to master such as saws that cut materials into different shapes. One of the most interesting pieces is one that pushes materials but only when an attached motion sensor is activated. You start with only basic conveyor belts and plain blocks but after a while you get to experiment with pieces that rotate, destroy, and weld together materials. New types of components slowly get introduced throughout the course of the campaign. These instructional billboards don't help much but they're a start If you don't find that funny then you're a goof. Upon completing each set of puzzles, you're awarded a new prize such as an exercise VHS tape or a trucker hat. You then fall through the floor and end up in your deluxe accommodations complete with bed, sink, and a handful of dog treats. They speak in a ridiculously garbled language with no subtitles but just watching them blab on and on is hilarious. After the brief tutorial, you actually meet your new alien overlords for the first time. You soon realise that aliens have abducted humans to build factories for them. It starts with you driving your vehicle down a road then all of a sudden you're in an alien ship. Infinifactory comes wrapped in a surprisingly immersive world complete with an overwhelming dark sense of humour. Considering there are seemingly endless ways to solve each puzzle, you could spend all day making minor tweaks to just one of them. Of course, your solution is considered more efficient when these numbers are lower. You're judged in three areas Cycles (how long the solution takes to fully complete), Footprint (how much ground the blocks cover), and Blocks (how many blocks you used). Solving the puzzles can be quite a challenge on its own but perfectionists will probably spend hours upon hours making each solution more efficient. It's similar to the recently released Human Resource Machine yet with much more expansive gameplay. You play it by placing blocks that perform various functions in order to move, alter, and combine materials into the desired output. Many gamers may unfortunately blow off Infinifactory as a Minecraft clone. 🧐 I hope the aliens don't use these rockets for anything sinister │ One of Video Chums' core principles is 'it's better to be late and thorough than it is to be early and misinformed'. In comes Infinifactory which allows you to let your imagination run wild and build complex factories, but enough talk let's get to work! Games rarely provide players with unlimited freedom to solve puzzles however they wish.
