Jan. 2026
Probably the best "engineering" game out there. This game just gives you a lot of options, espescially with the logic update. Unlike other engineering games, making things might take you a few days which is what makes it fun for me. And if you want to, you can refine that build for like a month or so if you wish to do so. I would say this game is underrated and more people should play this. The physics in this game I would say is decent enough, not really on the glitchy side or too rigid side. One thing I can say though, I made a motorcycle in this game that actually stabilizes itself due to the steering geometry and not via active gyro which is not a thing that can be done in many engineering games. Also, the fact that you can sort of "mash" parts together is a huge plus for this game cause in other games it is kind of a bug or an unintended feature.

This is one of the best building games imho. Ever wanted to build a car with W16 engine? You can. A tiny tuk tuk with a single cylinder 2 stroke engine? You can. You can build differential, transfer case, double wishbone, solid axles, McPherson strut, multi link, watts link, sway bars and friction dampers - There is almost nothing you can't do in this game when it comes to mechanical contraptions. Let your imagination unfold! Also there is an upcoming update which will introduce logic to the game. Absolutely recommend 10/10

Peak engineering sandbox game. I honestly have no idea how this game is this optimized in an era where I expect 50fps average from games that don't even have proper physics. But, I'm not going to sugar coat it, this game is extremely off putting to new players with the complex controls and UI for example. However, you'll be surprised how intuitive and powerful the controls are once you give it a bit of time. Also, I actually learned things about how real cars work from googling how to do stuff in this game, so that's a bonus.

im not quite smart enough to utilize the tools this game gives me properly just yet, but i can recognize the potential things that can be done in this game, and my god am i loving it. a lot of game engines have trouble with physics and things suddenly flinging to oblivion or shaking uncontrollably, but those arent a problem here, the only time things get funky is things rotating at 10,000-12,000rpm, things start to bug out there, but ive yet to see anything void or fly off as a result, and below those speeds things are perfectly stable.
