A deep, good-looking physics sandbox for smashing planets, making black holes and building star systems. Skip it if you want goals, have a weak PC, or bought it for VR.
Great for
Space fans who like what-if experiments, blowing up planets and building their own star systems
Main risk
It has no goals, so many players get bored within hours, and weaker PCs struggle.
