    Over six years of Early Access, developers added to Space Engineers a lot of options and objects, including entire planets. There’s only one thing that’s still missing: meaningful gameplay. [Issue#238, p.40]

    A great PC title, early Alpha days yet but more entertaining hours here than you will find in all the recent console conversion premium gamesA great PC title, early Alpha days yet but more entertaining hours here than you will find in all the recent console conversion premium games put together.

    Minecraft in space, addictive as they come, fantastic game and I really hope the Dev keeps up the good work!

    So space engineers, its just good. its complex and its simple at the same time, if you want a big ship that has everything in it you couldSo space engineers, its just good. its complex and its simple at the same time, if you want a big ship that has everything in it you could possibly need you can, or you can have a small ship with the essentials and a station to land at, in fact you can have almost anything you want in it. Build, mine, search for salvage and one of the best workshop communities on steam. what really is nice about the game is the developers. Keen are just great, weekly updates and a weekly hotfix, they listen to what people say and what people want and they do it. IMPORTANT! this is still an early access title so dont expect it to be 100% perfect, there is no proper AI yet (you will have to read up on that to long to write up on here), and no objectives yet, They recently added in scenarios to play through so high hopes of a very very good space builder.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fantastic game
    The game is a sandbox game kinda like Minecraft only based in space with tons of awesome features it try's to maintain a 75 year gap in between what the tech is currently and now. The game itself is fun but not for those on the lower end on the PC scale. Fantastic graphics and wonderful collision graphics.

    VERDICT: Were I thou, I would probably rent Space Engineers first before buying it.

    Good concept, but poorly executed. The building system is way too restrictive and combat is laughably crap. Survival is pretty meaningless andGood concept, but poorly executed. The building system is way too restrictive and combat is laughably crap. Survival is pretty meaningless and servers are bad, not only that but the game is poorly optimized and devs make every major update a DLC. Better buy Starship Evo. Expand
