Space Engineers

Hello Gamers!

Some of you have heard of Space Engineers, some of you haven’t. It’s a game like Minecraft with modern graphics, and that takes place in a foreign solar system where you, the engineer have freedom find a ship (if you need to fix it is dependent on the ship) fly it around and land on different bodies in the area.

However, this game looks very boring to me, and is a reason I didn’t buy it for myself. I mean no offense (of course), but I just don’t see the game’s appeal. It’s like an adventure by yourself and it’s just too Minecrafty for my taste. At least in Minecraft you have chickens for friends.

The only appeal I can see to the game is that you can fly in a space ship, and if you like to be dangerous, add a meteor shower to your simulation. In this mode you can set the environment to create meteors to shoot down from above toward your spawn point, giving you little chance to dodge, find and potentially fix a ship, and get your astromech out of there.

This game costs $25 on Steam download, and I can understand the price, great textures, physics, and interactive flight engines. I just couldn’t see myself investing that much after checking out Nerd3 playing it.

Now keep in mind, this was a while ago, maybe it’s gotten better by now? Maybe they’ve added in a story type arch in the open world sandbox like the famous Ender’s Portal in Minecraft. And if there is, well all I can hope for is that it’s good enough for me to want to invest $25 into it.

Until then, I’ll keep to my Snow biome thank you.
