Satisfactory ~~$29.99~~ $14.99 (50% off)
Sci-fi, you're dropped down to a lush alien planet to do what humans do best: strip all of its natural resources! Combat is limited, but boils down to fighting off wild animals - the main gist of the game is building and optimizing things like miners/conveyor belts/smeltors/assemblers/etc to automate the pillaging of the environment with increasing efficiency... which admittedly sounds more like work than play, but this title caught me a bit off guard with how fun and - true to its name - satisfying it is play.
They're also planning on raising the full price shortly to $40, most likely with the launch of 1.0 the next update coming soon. Amazing game!
They can raise the price and try to FOMO me into buying it, and I can lower the price to free
I wouldn't say it's a manipulation, the game is far beyond the original game at this point. I'm surprised it's even on sale ATM. It's an amazing game.
