  • Recommended
    This is a "yes but" recommendation, because I got tired of Captain of Industry's issues, but put 346 hours into it before I decided I'd had enough. Any game where you put that much time into it and it's mostly enjoyable deserves a recommendation. It's a pretty good factory game, roughly as complex as Factorio, with a limited 3D aspect. It's limited because conveyor belts, pipes, and train tracks can all go 5-6…

    If the game is still in EA, it should not be allowed to charge for DLC. Finish the game.
