Never before I have physically saluted a game. Great story and characters, fun gameplay and pretty good pacing. Fair warning though, if you don't like to read, this isn't the game for you.

10/10 would salute again

What is this softcore ♥♥♥♥

So, Automation. You ask: "What is Automation?" I answer: "It's a game that will change the perspective of the universe we live in."

...

No, wait, scratch that.

Well, in Automation you build cars. And that's what I wanted to do since I was a little kid. I LOVE this game. You can build your dirt-cheap hatchback or your two-million-dollar luxury car that handles like a boat. You can design the cars' exterior and engine just like the way you want.

Automation is a really solid game. It's actually pretty well polished regarding that it is an early access game. I've noticed some minor bugs here and there but there's actually not that many. The game still needs more content such as more car bodies, engine types and so on, but luckily there's going to be more.

Updates come rarely, but luckily they're always big. And they're not just like "Look, we got a new text box, how cool is that?", no, there's always new content. (Actually having big updates more rarely is better than small updates frequently. In PAYDAY 2 there's an update every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ week!)

The only bad side I can think of is that you can't actually drive your cars, but I understand it, as a driving model is hard to do with a 3 man dev team, and the game is about building cars, not driving them.

And if the lack of game modes annoys you, the forums are full of community challenges where you can test your mettle against other players.

To sum it up, the game maybe isn't worth the price of 27,99€ with this amount of content, but if you're even slightly into cars, I cannot do anything but recommend it.

I've seen a LOT of negative reviews to this game, and, y'know... It's not THAT BAD. People say that it hasn't got an update for a long time and the devs have abandoned the game, and... they may be right in the update thing, but the devs are still doing at least blogposts about update round-ups every week. Haven't read them, though.

Let's just wrap this up and go home. Here are:

PROS;
-Big world, which is procedurally generated
-Lots of stuff
-Different biomes (snow, forest etc.)

and CONS:
-Extremely repetitive
-Almost all the monsters look the same (Exept a different colour)
-Lots of grinding

If you get some friends to play it with you, it's pretty fun. Alone it gets boring pretty fast.
Let's say it's a 6/10.
