I loved SE1. That said, I am concerned for the direction SE2 will go. For one, I really don't like welding from ore being in the game. It suggests that there will be an emphasis on simplification for the benefit of new players this time around. This is a bad idea. It is self-sabotaging. The whole point of engineering is to embrace complexity, trying to make things artificially simpler to appeal to a wider audience will only rob you of the audience you have while failing to interest those you are trying to sway. It removes opportunities to be and feel creative. Leave construction how it was. Welding from components was a better, more rewarding system that made you feel more like a Space Engineer. Also, focus heavily on weapons this time, with vastly increased weapon ranges for high caliber guns. In space, engagements should be able to take place on a scale of kilometers, even tens of kilometers. People aren't just building small fighters and assault ships/gunboats, they are building heavy cruisers, battlecruisers, battleships, carriers, behemoths. Limiting such ships to massive numbers of tiny guns that are only able to fire at close ranges is a mistake. We want long range slug-throwing boom-fests, CIWS systems meant to fight off long-range cruise missiles and space torpedoes, fighters capable of carrying devastating short range anti-ship weapons, energy-expensive shielding systems which feed off of ship power and can overheat and fry themselves when broken by heavy enemy fire, reactors which can melt down and explode when overly strained or damaged in battle, forcing you to triage electrical systems from the cockpit in order to keep your systems running, ammunition and fuel stores becoming more violently explosive, so forth. Devs, talk it over with each other, share ideas, think of ways to make things cooler. Make battle interesting!

An Extremely Early Access Review: This is a Support-The-Development buy for me. If you want something that isnt a tech demo for now - buy the first one. Dec 1 Addendum: The pace of development is very encouraging. Definitely an across-the-board upgrade from the previous game. Very pleased so far. Performance is not amazing - but this is much in line with the development of the first game - Performance goes down the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ till its so bad they have to fix it - then they fix it so well you wonder why every game has optimization issues at all. Seriously SE1 runs so well on my machine is very impressive. I EXPECT the same from SE2. You can actually just play the game now but i would still call this a Support-The-Development purchase for now.

A lot of the negative reviews are simply about how early of a development stage the game is in, but they have followed their roadmap to the letter, and have released footage of what is to come. It kind of looks like a lot of the negative reviews came from people who aren't really in the know about how this game is being developed, and what audience they are aiming this early access at. Also the devs have been very clear about what is and isn't in this version of the game

30$ is a very expensive tech demo, and you should never buy a game based on future promises. That being said, I play SE1 exclusively for its space lego mechanics, and this is already most of the way to being there for me. -- Still missing pretty much any actual game mechanics, so if you are here for the SE1 experience, you should wait a while. The second this game gets subgrids, compute blocks, and some more polish, it will supersede SE1 for me.

Don't buy if your looking for survival or multiplayer and don't want to wait, as they will only be added in a future update. The only reason for early access is for the creatives who enjoy shipbuilding, or to support the developers. There are almost weekly newsletters and dev diary's discussing the game with pretty convincing evidence that work is being put in to finish the game and add some pretty revolutionary and impressive stuff. (Dynamic water physics on planetary scales alongside destructible voxels and player-built ships, with multiplayer.) Graphics look amazing (and are decently performant) and destruction is satisfying even in its current unfinished state.
