- Factor Y offers a chill and relaxing factory-building experience without the stress of hostile creatures, making it accessible for casual players.
- The unique module system allows for innovative production line designs, providing a fresh take on factory automation.
- The game is lightweight on system requirements, making it suitable for players with older hardware, and the music is enjoyable during extended play sessions.
- The user interface is clunky and unintuitive, making basic actions like building and managing structures cumbersome and frustrating.
- There are significant gaps in the game mechanics, such as the inability to move storage chests without losing their contents, which detracts from the overall experience.
- The game feels incomplete and lacks a proper tutorial, leading to confusion and a steep learning curve for new players.

The game's graphics are described as basic and spartan, lacking the visual appeal of titles like Factorio, which may benefit players with older hardware. While the aesthetics are simple, they do not detract significantly from gameplay, though some users hope for improved visuals in future updates. Overall, the graphics are functional but could enhance the experience if more polished.
“Simple in aesthetics but a full-featured factory game with a tech tree, large multi-planet map, and some unique features such as nesting modules.”
“This could be a blessing if you have an older hardware system and cannot afford something that requires heavy graphics to handle.”
“The graphics and the animation work just fine if you are not focused on style over substance in your gameplay.”
“A more consistent visual style is coming later, I hope; some parts look different from others.”
“I am not too keen on this game mainly due to the unneeded complexity and the graphics being so basic.”
