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.

April 2024

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.
