This game is very well designed to please the weekend astrologist to the student of astrophysics. Although it can be a hog on PC horsepower (the more you throw at it, the more it smiles), it delivers mesmerizing graphical events. A universe in a sandbox which, I believe follows a realistic physics model. Give this a try with a good VR headset and smoke a big doober.

Often I destroy entire solar systems in horrific ways, destroying planets and suns, killing all life in galaxies. I turn stars into black holes and let them swallow every planet and every other natural satellite. The mass destruction I cause is ruthless. Then I come home and play this game.

This game is worth it in every way imaginable. You will need a beefy computer to be able to enjoy the extremely realistic simulation that Universe Sandbox provides, but when I say that it is worth it, I really mean it. From the new ability to terraform planets in any way possible, including throwing things at planets (which can terraform the planet), to being able to “planetscape”, this game reaches far beyond what used to be impossible years back when it came to simulating the universe. 10/10, highly recommend.
