SpaceEngine

I don't usually review games, but I have to with this. This is the best exploration game I have found next to stuff like Minecraft. The seamlessness of the exploration of real and auto generated objects is really immersive and fun. The wacky stuff the program generates has sparked ideas for stories I'm writing. My only real complaint is the surface landscape lacking variation. Rocky worlds are basically gravel and rolling hills, and occasionally you get volcanos and canyons. But other than that, its the same land masses in different shapes. Which can honestly be forgiven, due to the fact that other aspects of the planet, like its stars, moons, rings, or sky color add a unique and intriguing element to each object, even with the repetitive land generations. If the devs can find a way to make the surface generations more rewarding for on foot exploration that would be amazing, but I honestly don't mind if they don't. This is nearly perfect as it is. As a science lover, music lover, space lover, and game lover, this software itches all of those scratches at once. W game, W devs. This is fantastic.

I LOOOOOVEEEE this game!!!! But theres a problem, they didn't add buildings or trees, so please, can you add it?

This game has incredible graphics and optimization; high quality scenes can easily be rendered. Many features allow you to explore space in ways never possible. The location catalog is expansive and generally intuitive. This game does have a large learning curve-->Please reference steam community guides or forums for tutorials and graphics settings(Use AI!). This is quite possibly the greatest software for exploring space; many things can be learned; many things can be seen. I recommend this software for those who enjoy physics, astronomy, and photography/cinematography. Many sites are breathtaking and inspiring. This game is being developed every day: funding the development can and will keep the game evolving. This game has large amounts of customization in that it can fit almost any PC and any preference.
