User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
I bought universe sandbox in 2015 near when it released and was still called "Universe Sandbox 2." I remember the original universe sandbox being a cool way to look at planets and when they'd collide they'd either go "pop" or "shlorp" and that was it. Since then Universe Sandbox became Universe Sandbox Legacy and Universe Sandbox 2 became the Universe Sandbox you see today. Since I bought this game way back in 2015 the game has constantly gotten updates, adding planets, features and has since became utterly stunning to just look at. and when planet collide it creates possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in a video game. From comets to planets colliding to supernovae to galaxies "colliding" this game looks beautiful and manages to run great on my mediocre computer and somehow over a decade later the game is STILL BEING UPDATED! best 20 something quid I have ever spent.
Words cannot describe what this game is to me - this is the 1st game I got when I got Steam back in 2016 and the game has changed so much its a nice taste of it all. Nostalgic for the past and still good that its making new funs and glory for destruction and peace and utter beauty. Love the game to my core.
- Loaded solar system - Went to jupiter - Spun jupiter at millions of RPM - Jupiter explodes - Jupiter fragments expand to hundreds of times the width of solar system - Reload solar system - Attempt to terraform jupiter by adding water - Realise I've added too much water, and jupiter is now as heavy as the entire galaxy - Decide to unpause sim anyway - Jupiter turns into a massive black hole - Entire solar system gets destroyed - 100% would recommend this game
