SpaceEngine Reviews

I absolutely love this game so much, would recommend to anyone who loves space as much as I do (which is a lot)

Honestly, this game has to be one of the best and most expansive universe simulators out there. The amount of stars, planets, nebulae, galaxies, and other interesting objects is astounding. If you are somebody with a passion for space, exoplanets, and cosmology, then this is the game for you.

This is the best game of all time. The fact it hasn't earned game of the year EVERY year is baffling.

For real, this is the best game I have EVER PLAYED. There's billons of galxys to explore. Trillions of planets to discover. Infinite landscapes to see! 10000000000000% you should get this game if you like/love space!!!!!!!!

10/10, absolutely incredible. The rendering is stunning, you can smoothly fly into a galaxy and the visual transitions are almost seamless. VR mode works quite well!

This has unlocked an even deeper level of my already established fear of the deep dark unknown. As if my melanoheliophobia didn't already keep me awake at night, I just had to get closer to Sagittarius A* in this space explorer sim and give myself a genuine panic attack where it felt like my heart was stopping and my lungs were empty for what felt like eternity to me. There is no god, he has abandoned us. 10^9/10 real fear.

This isn't your typical game. It's more like a full-on planetarium engine. The best part is you don't even need a NASA supercomputer to run it. It’s surprisingly smooth for something this massive.

genuinely cannot stomach playing this for more than 10 minute intervals its the scariest game ive ever played and i hate it a lot

This is probably the best and most realistic simulation of the universe to date. I've been following this project for a very long time ~ 2015, since before it was on Steam. Since then, I periodically return to this wonderful world to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Here you can spend hours exploring planets, star systems, nebulae, and galaxies and much more... And the music deserves special mention. The beautiful and calming soundtracks perfectly complement the visuals, creating an indescribable atmosphere of space travel. I also listen to it outside of the game. I enjoy relistening to it. Sometimes I can just hang in orbit of some planet, listening to the music and imagining myself as a real space explorer. I'm glad that the project is constantly evolving and being updated. I definitely recommend it to everyone who is interested in space and astronomy. If you have always dreamed of interstellar travel and wanted to see what lies in the far corners of the universe, this simulator game is what you need. You will be delighted by the scale and beauty of this simulator.

accidentally bought this instead of universe sandbox and didnt refund for some reason 7/10 cool visuals
