Forge Industry Bewertungen

I really wanted to like this game, but I couldn't. I like the devs though, they inspire me. However there is too much wrong with this game. The biggest problem is that the route system is too cumbersome. There is no seperate UI Button or Section for the routes, ou have to select a building in order to access the route list. In the route creation menu you can pick locations and resources for the transportation but the dropdown menu is very unclear. The menu should be wider so that you can see more than one or two resources at once. The general gameflow somehow doesn't feel right. For the first kind of resource production chain you have to do multiple unclear things to get on a positive income. The tutorial adresses that, but it feels way too unintuitive in my opinion. Also you have to create a new route for every resource type. In case of iron that means one route for coal, one for iron. If you would produce these resources from different location this would make sense, but you buy them both from the marketplace. So this generates many routes that could be summarized more elegant. The next things is that it feels kinda strange to buy resources just to combine and sell them. This could make sense if you later have the ability to mine both resources more efficiently, but why do you cannot do this from the start like in many other games? Or maybe the mining process is too expensive to set up initially, but thats the point you don't know it. The game just tells you to do it that way without explaining why. Maybe It makes sense in the end but I didn't got to that point. Some framing in how everything works in this world, maybe with a nice infographic would makes these things clearer. On top of that there was a crash in the first 20 minutes of the game just as I believed to came up with a first working economy but I did'nt found out due to the crash. It's just all the things together that made me refund this game and it hurts me for the devs but I also want to be honest with them and I hope they polish it the way it needs it. If this game would be in early access, I would just wait for a few updates but as this seems to be fully released I just cannot understand how it is this clunky. So to summarize this up I just realised that wanting this game to be fun is not the same as the game beeing fun. I'd really love to check the updates again by some time and reconsider but in this state I really just don't want to play it and the devs decided to leave it as it is, so I'm out. If you're unsure, wait for a sale. If you really like to dig into economic transportation games, have a lot of free time and you don't mind cumbersome UI and some crashes I think you could enjoy it as the graphics are pretty lovely.
