Early Access Review
I think this is my third positive review but i've been playing the game off and on for 4 years so don't judge me for writing multiple reviews as things change. Now I say this as someone who only recently crossed the 1000hrs mark that I am a noob. You who are reading this are a noob. From 0 hours to 10,000 hours you are still a noob as all individuals in this game are noobs. You as a single person will likely crash at least 2 painstakingly crafted ships per month. That is okay because you are a noob. You will never grow out of it because everything in this game is satisfying right down to seeing that ship you worked on for a month run out of fuel 2km in the air and plummet to the ground.

For people with knowledge of the game that preceeds reading this review such as youtube videos or the like, I would like to state that in the past few months every aspect of multiplayer has stabilized and improved. And therefore the one way to avoid noob status has arrived: gaming with friends. And this part is important as friends are what truly make this game fun. It has no story or backstory, it has no goals, and it has absolutely no satisfying end. But that's okay as we can be satisfied by the neverending outlet of a creative medium known as spaceengineers. This is a game for building working relationships through construction of totally amazing ships, stations, rovers, and capitol ships. This is a game that lets our inner child go to town for the sake of bragging rights.

And most importantly this is a game that can become anything more than what I've said if you put in the time and effort to make your inspiration a reality.

Just so you know out of my 40 friends on steam 23 own space engineers and at least 15 play the game once a week or more. Many of my friends are still in school and therefore don't have much time free for games.

Hekane you should just try it. I don't know anything about starforge but this game is like spaceminecraft with physics and circles. Don't take my word for it and check out the strong youtube community - there are a lot of people who do basic roleplay survival situations and have tons of fun. Things like Group survival and Colony survival should give you an idea of what's possible with friends.

Would like to try it out, but I got a bit of Starforge vibes from the pictures...
