Universe Sandbox

lovely game to simulate cool systems or mess around with other stuff like spawning 30 blackholes and seeing what happens. i love it and i reccomend it to anyone who wants silly space shenanigans!! :)

Great game to ask those burning questions of; "What if the sun and another sun made love? And would our planet Earth survive the encounter?"
If you wanna know grab this game asap! Find out what happens to the Earth and so much more. Black holes, supernovas and you can make moons that fight each other for dominance! i threw a galaxy at another one, and oh boy! the black hole ate the whole universe. Well you have fun now making things go boom or puff or what have you! xD

This game is great! But it has a few problems:
1 Gas giants dosen't have an atmosphere .
2 Massive Black holes don't have their gas rings.
But i recommend this game and is worth the money.

Not sure if it's worth the base price, honestly, as there is no "game" per se to play... but there is a lot of beauty and elegence in what you can do, and the devs have put a lot of effort updating and improving what is already there.

I just wanted to say that I really enjoy Universe Sandbox and play it often-it's such a fun and fascinating way to explore space! The physics and interactions between celestial bodies are amazing, and I would recommend it to others. However, I wanted to bring up a couple of issues I've noticed since the Update 35, Space in a New Light. First when objects collide-whether it's planets, moons, or minor planets-they leave behind a glitchy ring impact crater, which makes the planets look a bit odd. Second, some of the custom rocky planets are showing up as blank, with only a white or beige color. Aside from these, the update is still great, but I thought I'd share this feedback!

Was ok until they ditched VR because it was too much work. Before VR was at least useable, but had a confusing control scheme and was hidden in the steam settings.

As an absolute space nut, it only makes since that I would love this game. the physics could stand to be a bit more realistic but overall I can't find anything to complain about.

universe sandbox is a game ive loved since i was young, watching content creators tear apart and create new worlds was amazing for me to see and it was even better to do it myself!

I like this game, it runs decently on my low end laptop and its pretty fun, It gets boring sometimes and the controls can be a bit confusing at first but I always come back to the game.

New update looks great, but they dropped VR.

best game ever so realistic and fun

really good. do anything you want, wreck the solar system, terraform planets, go to other galaxys, anything possible in space is possible here.

This is the best game I've played about astronomy and the game keeps getting better with every update tho I would like to see in a future better life simulations such as plants and city lights or having a 3d height maps on the planets

You can build solar systems and make your own planets and stars. and make black holes and white holes. color planets. destroy the solar system by doing one thing or more! and you can explode the star causing an super nova. you can make your own simulation of what you think will happen in the future solar system. you can change sizes of stars. make them engulf every planet. until it becomes an black hole

overall awesome game! although I do with they had a real life mode where you can manipulate time and space in real life :( such a missed opportunity, but overall amazing game

This is not a game. This should not be marketed as a game. This is fully-functioning physics/space sim software, that's complexity and usability easily rivals software made by Google, NASA, and many other programs widely used for educational purposes. This should be used in schools, university or high schools, to teach physics. It has more grounds for a governmental education contract than any program I've ever used for school.

When this project leaves early access I hope the developers work to expand the scope of this project beyond being a 'game'. I cant imagine the power this software might have, to teach, in the hands of a good physics instructor.

This game is amazing, I honestly would recommend it. My only issue is you cannot control life on the planets, it would just be cool if it even had premade cities you could see being destroyed.

i figured out that Jupiter needs to be about 128 times more massive to become a star and at first it seemed like the solar system was completely fine, however.... then chaos ensued, 10/10 would destroy our home again

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence...
...and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

Great game, loose yourself for hours with construction of systems.

best solar system sandbox ive ever played
a lot of dumb shit i can do and its fun messing around with this. 10/10 honestly!

This game is aswome and builds creativity,curiosity and space related onclusions this game is meant for people that are intrested in space like me i love this game so much

the game is fun at first but it gets very boring after a while.

This game is very realistic, and its collisions are AWESOME. It's like your the god of a universe and u can change something and watch as whatever it is a collision or a system either balance the changes or watch as chaos happens. What I think they should make is it even MORE realistic, by making small chunks after a collision actually stay in orbit instead of slowly escaping. Also, I think that maybe they should add a sphere of influence because then the sun wont have to have the capability to make something orbit the sun when its in like a different multiverse which would be more realistic

Accidentally made the sun a little too big and sucked in all planets in the solar system and collapsed into a black hole

10/10

would do again

Yes I love this game it's Accurate You can make your own systems It's really fun, if you think of Buying Do

Awesome simulation, well worth the price, will keep you entertained with endless expirements.

Very Good Game with Outstanding Graphics, Would Reccomend!

I have a problem where my computer crashes constantly unless i have a game playing in the background. Nothing fixes it. Updating all drivers did nothing, Reinstalling Windows did nothing. Tried various software and hardware scans, none show any problems. Replacing components, internal and external did nothing. Tried a UPS, did nothing. Not even getting another PC as i have 2 computers and both do the same thing.

Leaving this run in the background while muted keeps the computer from crashing.


*update* It is an issue where if a game is NOT on the computer crashes. I changed review to positive because even though the game is on in the background sometimes i shoot moons at the earth, its ok. It's an Alienware computer from Dell, and i have contacted Dell about it for weeks and they have no fixed it. I have now contacted the BBB about getting a refund.

A great space physics simulator, of particular use as a tool for realistic space worldbuilders - you are going to spend lots of time creating planetary systems and even galaxy maps, both fictional and based in reality, as well as ensuring various details such as how stable the systems are.

While not absolutely perfect, every update makes some sort of further improvement.

And... I don't know what else to say. Those are the things that I personally find good about the game, and you can probably find other useful points in other reviews.

I'm pretty sure Universe Sandbox also goes on sale somewhat regularly too, so there's that.

this is a really fun game, im new and wow, just watch a few titorials and you know what to do, its AWSOME

really fun making your own solar system and its lore or just messing around for fun, would recommend.

This game does not only have the solar system you can do whatever you want and play other creations

This game is fantastic. With only 4+ hours on the game, it is still amazing with all your space-curiosities you can fulfill. The game runs perfect with anything you really want to create.

this games is very realistic and has very high graphics. highly recommend purchasing this game.

Universe sandbox is awesome... the graphics and almost everything is awesome! 100/10... would recommend...

This game is just the best. I can throw jupiter sized whales at earth. And that it only the beggining.

This game is really cool and realistic and I love it.

please do keep updating this game till planets and stars and galaxies can form after supernovas occur within this game.

This game is very interactive and it is very fun to combine planets, create planets, DESTROY PLANETS (hahaha), explore planets, it is simply fun! I can't wait for the graphics update especially!

Extremely fun. Collisions are fun. Preloaded sims. Still getting updated.

worth the money ngl I used to like space and this game is just cool I learned that Pluto had a moon witch made me google Pluto's moons making me find out it had 5 moons cool game 10/10 great to pass time with messing around

This game is amazing for using simulations with solar systems! Plus, you can make your own custom planets/stars/moons.

I love the game and its a great simulation for people who love space or astronomy and even science in general

This game is laggy without a gpu, but it is very fun nontheless to destroy Earth over and over and over and over and over... etc.

I love breaking the laws of physics just so I can destroy the Earth in more fun and interesting ways

This is the best sandbox game. it has cool graphics and is super fun i totally recommend this - also if you right-click universe sandbox in your library and go to properties then betas and NONE and click !Preview version {something like that} and is under none then you can make the game more realistic

It is the best game regarding planets and science, but for some reason, I can't upload a simulation to the steam workshop. Every time I try it the game just crashes. I've made three simulations and none of them work, developers, please fix this.

great game play up dated comiing evry year good music vibes infininty random noo funny more to doevery dayshare it with freinds it worth nowand dad bot it
