From the description on the website...

Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories.

You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, apply management skills to keep it working and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.

So I'd say it leans towards the management side of things but with defensive placements required to repel enemy attacks.

Demo

ShadowHearth

I told my friend about this game. He watched a few videos and then bought it. He is happy as pig in ****.
I like games like that, but I am not sure if I need to push the trigger now.

Me too,its exactly the type of game I've been looking for.

really all I used to play minecraft for was the machine/factory building (I peaked at building a HV solar array factory in tekkit), so Im pretty hyped about this alright :P

they're working on multiplayer at the mo too, which is pretty insane considering the amount of stuff happening on screen at once

I lost about 3 hours to it last night. I reckon I'll buy after reading the blurb at the end. I usually can't stand crafting games, but the automated potential of this really intrigues me.

Just saw this pop up on Twitter, looks like a really neat concept so will definitely be keeping an eye on it.

Interesting - a little like a real-time Frozen Synapse, but in first person.

Got linked to this last night by a mate, not much info available as of yet but the gorgeous art style alone has me interested.

Death's Gambit

“Inspired by Dark Souls, Shadow of The Colossus… Death’s Gambit is a challenging Action-RPG where you explore an alien medieval planet filled with beasts, knights, and horrors. “

Piqued my interest anyway.

That does look snazzy, hope it controls well too.
