It took me a couple of tries to actually enjoy the game. My first try of the demo I was turned off, at the time it just felt like work. I decided to give it another go, because I wanted something to play and everyone raved about it, so I thought I'd persist a little longer to see what the hubbub was all about.
Everyone says the game is addicting, but I merely find it simply "fun." Maybe the current quality of video games is so poor that anything that actually engages you for a few hours is declared addicting, but I find that a sad state of affairs. Then again, the norm for major publishers seems to be hype up a game, then sell an incomplete piece of software to kids who don't know any better. Providing demos of software is passé.
If people aren't designing video games that I can actually be engaged with for a few hours at a time, what's the point? Do not Monopoly players who actually enjoy the game, poker players, or chess players do the same?
Why do we not call Minecraft, "Crackcraft?" It's almost certainly played more, and plays basically identically in sandbox nature to me as Factorio: you build things, and you enjoy doing it.
