Factorio vs RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
Factorio
Factorio is a simulation game where you build, expand and maintain a series of factories. The game will require you to take control of the entire production line from obtaining resources you need right up to packaging the final product while constantly upgrading and modifying every aspect of your factories to improve their productivity. As your enterprise grows, you'll eventually unlock a plethora of technologically advanced machineries, tools and hires that are basically a lot better than what you currently have.That's not all, apparently the world you'll be setting up your factories in isn't very "factory-friendly". Expect to have to deal with frequent attacks by the local inhabitants. You might want to set up turrets, walls, and other defensive structures to protect your machines from damage that will, god forbid, disrupt your production line.
Interestingly, the game has a cooperative multiplayer game mode where you can work with your friends to create a massive factories-filled world. The game may sound like an endless freeplay sort, but there are some fun challenges for you to complete as well as a Map Editor for you to create new maps to play in.
Factorio is the sort of game that will appeal to players who like managing stuff, namely fans of tycoon-like games. It also has a nice little tower defense-like element to it that spice things up a bit, along with other events that will put your problem-solving skills to the test.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is perhaps one of the most highly acclaimed RollerCoaster Tycoon game to date! The game now has a deeper strategic aspect in addition to the incredibly addictive work of building the craziest rollercoasters that is physically possible. Similar to RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 builds on the formula that had made the previous games so successful and one-ups all of that with a ton more options, ranging from more attractions to more scenarios, as well as a no-limits Sandbox mode where you can literally build anything you like.As this edition includes both Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs, you can build water slides and a safari with life-like animals. With the Peep Designer, you can even create your own people and their personalities so you can watch their reactions to the coaster you've built when they are riding it or when they are exploring the wild safari you've set-up. Let's not forget about the RollerCoaster Tycoon 3's MixMaster which allows you to design and create incredible pyrotechnics and laser light shows too.
That's not all, the best part about this game is that you are given the opportunity to ride and experience the crazy coasters that you've built in jaw-dropping 3D (through the help of the amazing Coaster Cam)... it almost felt like you're actually there! xMaster.
If you're looking to get into the series, you might want to start with this installment of the game. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is truly as amazing as you think it is after reading all of these. So, if you get the chance, be sure to give the game a try!
