Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is good (if you use the community bugfix mods, because they refuse to patch the game).

But they are trying something new, a solid: what if we just increase the prices by 150%-200% for DLCs that have less content.

If you already have it, its good, but I would not recommend it to Newcomers at the moment until they get their priorities in order.

you won't miss anything by not buying this.
most of them are incredibly small additions or actively make the game worse (the robots which are literally just reskinned workers)

Its very expensive for fairly little gain.
Its not active until you are King rank or higher, and once it is, you will probably forget its there as its hidden in a menu.

Also, it usually feels like most events in there are negative, thus causing further disinterest in looking at it.

Also again, its 34$ where I live, thats more than half the cost of a 'triple A' title.
It does not offer enough content to warrant a 15$ pricetag, much less 34$.

Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is good.
As good if not better than vermintide 2.

But the game released partially unfinished with crafting aspect being only minimally finished, most functions are 'COMING SOON!'.
Of course, the microtransactions cash shop was ready for day 1 release together with topmodel scum tactics such as fear of missing out, using an ingame currency instead of real prices and poor packaging of said ingame currency.
You will always have either not enough or too much coins.

You'd expect such tactics from a Free2Play Title, not something you pay full price for.

Good.

Good complex game, if you like Factorio and similiar complex games, this one may suit you.

Contrary to what most negative reviews seem to say, it does have various tutorials once you have started a map, there could be more tutorials perhaps.

Fairly decent game, would recommend it to people that like factorio and similiar.

It's been around 2 weeks since the last dlc, and 6 weeks since the game released.
So its really either cut content, or it takes no time at all to develop such content, eitherway it should have been part of the basegame.

Paradox (and Maximilian) would be proud of such greed.

Overwhelmingly mediocre, which would be acceptable overall.
But my main issue comes from the seemingly psychic enemies, once you are spotted, everyone drops anything they were doing and try to find you.
Unfortunately, this also goes for machinery. At some point they introduce sentient spotlights, which can spot you and alert the entire camp thus potentially forcing you to reload the last checkpoint.
Checkpoints are relatively sporadic, so be prepared to repeat vast sections of gameplay.

Beware the spotlight and keep on keeping on.

They sneakily added microtransactions in the last update, hidden in the previous updates patchnotes as good as they could.
I consider this misleading and extremely disheartening. It should be very clearly marked on the steampage that its a singleplayer(with coop as side option) game with Outrageously priced Microtransactions that make Mobile games look good in comparison.
