Space Engineers

me personally, i dont like these types of games, but it still was ok and i still had some fun.

i would recommend tho if you are into this type of stuff, my friend wanted to play this with me so i bought it, and it is still entertaining even though its not my style.

It is very polished, and it is complicated but fun to learn and play with others (from any platform :))

Its a really nice and fun game to play online with friends. But it is time for SP2.

A game that doesn't hold your hand, nor does it guide you to danger. Everything you do is based upon what you want. I've heard complaints over the years about games like Minecraft for not having a 'proper drive'/'clear motive' to get you through the game, but Space Engineers truly takes the cake in this field. It really is a pure sandbox game. That being said, it can be very demotivating to do things in the game without inspiration or ideas to build off of. Taking things straight into survival might not be everyone's cup of tea because of the aforementioned. Thankfully, the game allows you to save Blueprints from any creation made in game, which can be transferred across any save and projected into your worlds to build in survival or paste back in another world. This feature alone cuts out 90% of the tedious trail and error of survival mode and really allows it to shine a bit brighter. If you want to do it the hard way, nothings stopping you! (There will still be a good bit of trial and error in creative mode ;] ) Whether you want to be a scrapper on the outer reaches of space, or a power hungry warmonger, the choice is yours... AND ONLY YOURS! Take your time, and have some patience; the rewards this game can bring are endless.

so fun lots of creative solutions you can build to mine, make your own ships and haulers

This is a great and realistic game that promotes engineering and problem solving with friends across all platforms.

Space Engineers is a game I have dreamed of for years. A space exploration game that allows you to create basically any kind of ship in any design you want. The possibilities are endless and I daresay that the shipbuilding is on par of that of much of Minecrafts building. The vanilla game has some issues with survival progression, however. Outside of colonizing other planets, getting the endgame modules, PVP and occasional PVE encounters, there is not much else. Most of the games appeal comes from creative building. Most of these issues, however, can be fixed by the games library of mods. It's compatibility for mods expands the game by a lot, and there are several quality mods out there and many good developers. Overall, Space Engineers leaves much for its successor to live up to. With updates still rolling out for SE1 and SE2 opening testing, the future is bright for this game.

Very good game with great replayability. Fantastic with friends, and good alone. A little too many DLC's that you'd want though. Looking forward to Space Engineers 2!

It's fun to play i have over 100 hours of breaking ships down and then rebuilding them and i gotta say this is one of the best games i have ever played

My recommendation comes with a caveat - there is a lot to like here, but you will absolutely need to find some tutorial information online outside of the game. It is nearly impossible to figure out how to accomplish much of anything without a minimum of some starter guidance. There is a "First Survival" scenario included, but it is not a whole lot more forthcoming.

However, once you get past the initial Everest sized learning cliff, there is a LOT to like here. As my number of hours played (28 at time of writing this) suggests, I have barely scratched the surface of most of the mechanics of the game, and haven't even touched many others. There are some behavioral quirks that I disagree with (like neither your character nor any ship you build aligning themselves to planetary gravity while flying in atmosphere), but it really is just quirks.

The way that structures are built in this game is absolutely mind blowing, and I look forward to digging in to more of this and playing with what can be done.

Install mods

You go up with you ship,
15 second later you're crashing down with your ship
Ship gets destroyed,
Reaver is still alive,
You do the only thing to save your base or what is left
With grinder in hand you get control of the reaver,
Park the reaver on the helicoper platform.
Check damages
You hear an explosion
Check the platform
Reaver warhead exploded
You're thinking what you did wrong
You start reparing,
After 2 hours you finish

Best game, recommending
200 Hours and still playing this game like a new player.

spend hours making s*** on Europa just for me to realize destroying your battery on the drop pod doesnt drop Power cells so i kinda f***** myself on one run and flew up till i ran our of oxygen 10/10 game would recommend

This game is a time sink of ingenuity and creativity. It is a sandbox; however, and you have to make your own paths, stories, etc. There is a newer built in lore, but where it shines the most is when you add in community content to spice up survival playthroughs. I just crossed the 1k hour threshold on steam which is why I finally decided to put in a review. I also have another 200 hours on the xbox version. The devs are steadily improving on the survival side of things and I am looking forwards to what they have in store for the future, even while they work on SE2.

Returning gamer after initial release, a great dev combining space/building/combat/survival. Plenty of dlc's and mods to keep you amused.

good game. this game is fun and challenging enough for beginners and veterans of the game type. and the expansion is new depth. the sequel will only build on this.

This is a delightful sandbox game with hours of enjoyment. It's doesn't have realistic physics, but it's easy to overlook that given the hours of things to try and to discover.

An extremely satisfying time sink. The more you play, the more you learn the more you can do until eventually you are 3d printing cruisers with custom missile bays. It's awesome but takes time to master.

Bok gibi oyun, From the Depths oynamış bir insanım ve onda en azından teker teker bütün sistemleri öğretiyordu. Bu oyun ondan da karmaşık ama hiçbir şey öğretmiyor, hayatsızsanız saatlerce debelenip öğrenirsiniz. Bununla uğraşacağınıza ders falan çalışın bu nedir yahu?

i would recommend this game as a base game its bare use your imagination and craft small rover to towering behemoths or a small skid ship to galaxy destroying gigantic destroyers all you need is your trusty starter rover and a drill .Not to mention the plethora of mods available to make the solar system come alive

lovely game, me and the homies had so much fun with it and it also being able to use tons of stuff we planning to make a super star destroyer

You know its a fun game other than you quite literally need a masters in architecture and engineering to even play this game but other than that its alright

I absolutely love this game - bought it on both console and PC. Bought it for my friend who is now addicted.

Still terrible at making ships that don't look like Bricks. Excityed for SE2 - 100/10 the games just that good.

I have been playing this game for years, and I got to say I love it. It is pretty easy understand and to get started for new players, and yet is still fun and challenging for skilled players. It has both a great survival mode, and a great creative mode. It also offers both easy and hard game modes for survival. If you are a easy survival person this game is for you, and if you are a hard survival person this game is for you. You will have fun in single player, and in multiplayer because there both great. Space engineers is a great game!

very fun and love the physics, playing with friends makes it 10 times better i highly recommend

i do like this game but its developers are greedy as hell instead of puting out free updates they make you pay for everything they only care about cash

18 hours in playing a scripted mission as a bit of a sandbox (no jetpack sucks!). I've been enjoying figuring out the mechanics and building some simple bases and vehicles. It is a bit like adult erector set, legos, minecraft, and in space. If you are happy to explore building in a varied sandbox with great mods, give it a try.

Truely an amazing game for those who want to just relax and build. An amazing community and plenty of servers for anyone to do what they want

stiff learning curve for combat good game though

Great game, but there is a second version, but you have to have better GPU.

I've been playing this game for years and, though I may take breaks for long periods of time, I always come back and I always love playing. I admittedly prefer playing with friends, and it's hard for me to truly enjoy this game solo, but that's just my personal preference.

I support their pricing and, even though buying the game with all the DLC is going to net you around $100 US you can still get all of the experience by playing the base game for $20 (even cheaper if you can catch it on sale). I appreciate that, even though they've released SE 2, they're still developing and supporting SE 1 as of the writing of this review.

If you're thinking you might want to try this, buy the base game on sale, grab a friend or two, and dive it. I think you'll be pleased with the game overall.

Spent 2 hours building a space ship and when i took off i smashed into my windmills.
Overall very fun game 10/10

I bought this game when it launched.
The game still feels incredibly empty.

Its just a "survival" sandbox game with nothing to keep you interested.
the only thing the game has going for it is the building mechanic. there isn't a reason for the survival mechanics other than an occasional distraction when outside a ship seat. you only need O2 and suit energy.

all the scenarios are half baked spawning you in with no direction. the point of a scenario is to give the player a direction to go on and enjoy the game. this misses the mark by a mile.
i don't remember any player made scenarios that make you feel like you're playing an actual game.
and the multiplayer is still bugged and laggy. im on fiber internet and MP still lags.

now that they're on SE2 and its probably going to feel just as empty. like a game thats forever stuck in apha build.

It took me four tries to get into the game. I had the advantage of not having to grind the stones in survival at first because I joined my sister's game. I just had to wait until she built a rover and could pick me up and deliver to her base.
I got hooked to it though and the most entertaining aspect for me is repairing stuff after something blows up. Out of 5 ships that we have now I had to repair three of them.
I've only seen Triton and some asteroids in space near the planet so I can't say about the rest of the solar system. Gotta finish building the big ship and explore!

This is an excellent sandbox game. Look to youtube for the really detailed instructions on how to play the game. Vanilla can become a little tedious after you get the hang of it. But the mods you can add are virtually endless and give a lot of replayability.

A wonderful mess of a game that is unstable (praise clang) to the degree where it will knock you unconscious, put you in a shuttle, throw you at a moon at highway speeds and watch you explode over and over until you figure out how to stop it... at which point it will find a different way to kill you. 10/10, have 4500 hours so far and am not going to stop. Get a friend (come on, you don´t have any) and watch each other try to detonate the starbase you spend 4 hours designing. Space Engineers: Creative Sandbox Disaster Simulator

Amazing Space Legos with physics! Definitely have gotten way more than my money's worth over the past 10 years.

I love this game! i first started playing it on Xbox, but now that i have a screamin' PC I love it even more on PC!
fun for single players and even funner to have a friend join in. the amount of amazing things to do and no one to really tell you how to do it is best when playing this open world environment.

As someone who loves space and making things, this game is awesome. its like starcitizen on crack. You can make your own ships or use community pre-made ones, there are different maps, game-modes, and mods. it is the perfect space sandbox game (SE2 also looks very promising so far). There are a few limitations when it comes to making stuff but there are always mods to fix those issues

Its like space minecraft but more complicated. if this fits your flavor of autism this is a perfect game.

Still bad after over a decade. Maybe I'll check out the sequel in 5 years to see if a fresh start helps the devs figure things out.

I have had this game since before release and I am just now reviewing, better late then never I guess. It is a great game, one of my favorites. I have seen many people compare it to Minecraft but in space. Really it is so much more then that. You really are an engineer, anything you can think of can be done, from simple ships to complex machinery. The only limit is your imagination. I highly recommend this game. It may take some people a while to learn with all the available building pieces and moving parts but once you build your first working creation it is all worth it, and it only gets better. The only negative thing I have to say about this game is multiplayer can be buggy sometimes, especially with more complex worlds/builds. It is still worth it in my opinion though. Some of my best times are playing this game online with friends.

Do NOT get this game if you want to not spend a fortune on DLCs just for you to A install a mod be cause most mods require tons of DLCs B you have to buy like a 100 DLCs just for your build to look good this was a complete waste of my time and money oh and ps keen software house if you want your game to be popular DONT MAKE ME BUY SO MANY DLCS JUST TO HAVE FUN

This game is just AMAZING. It takes some getting used to, a little complex, but once you get a good server (creative or survival) and know what your doing, its addictive.

Wow this game has been probably the most unfriendly starting experience I've ever experienced in my three decades of playing video games. Quick start doesn't explain anything. The "Learn to Survive" scenario just got stuck and didn't actually explain anything to get me un-stuck. The other supposedly "tutorial" scenario "The First Jump" just left me entirely stuck trying to build literally the first fucking thing without explaining how I'm supposed to have the inventory space for it. If your game requires me to watch hours of tutorial videos just to literally even do anything, I'm not sorry to say, your game just sucks. Absolutely ridiculous that they clearly didn't even bother to figure out what the game is like for a new player. For an over ten year old game as well.

Very creative and interesting . VR strategic game

Great for mindless mining or building stuff... Which gets a lot more intentional when you start running out of resources.

It's a little buggy, but definitely playable. If you enjoy games similar to minecraft with an open world and freedom to dig, manufacture and build anything your mind can come up with you will enjoy this game.

Space Engineers – 884 Hours In, Still Addicted

After 884 hours, I can say Space Engineers is hands down one of the best sandbox games out there. If you love building, space, and engineering, this game will hook you.

You can design anything—from small fighters to massive capital ships and full-on planetary bases. The physics make everything feel real, and every ship you build actually has to function, not just look cool. Survival mode keeps things challenging, with resource management, power issues, and random pirate attacks to keep you on your toes especially with mods gosh darn then it gets epic!!!!

The multiplayer is where it really shines. Building with friends, setting up space stations, and getting into full-on wars is insanely fun. Add in the modding community, and you’ll never run out of new things to try.

10/10, would lose another 884 hours. 🚀

Made a mining hovercraft, filled it and tried to land too quickly, crashed into the ground completely destroying the ship. 10/10! super fun! build and design your own ships for land, air and space.
