Some of Kerbal, but without any proper game inside. In the other hand, Space Engine is closer of Orbiter or Celestia. You also can observe "what if" scenarios or things which happened in the past regarding bodies movements and/or gravity. Some kind of construction set, a gravity simulator where you create, manipullate, collide bodies etc. Universe Sandbox is that, a sandbox where you experiment. Than you, guys :-) But both simulations have not much in common unlike what you might think Simply, comparison of the available options - the strengths and weaknesses (compared to other one) of both as you feel it. Which one is easier to control, more accurate, more enjoyable. Just go play it now and see for yourself.Flanner: i know, both universe sandbox and space engine are sanboxes and i can see, there is some spaceship posibility in the second one, but i wonder if some of you tried both sandboxes and for some impressions. It's beautiful, immersive, and just an impressive feat overall. Despite being unfinished, it's already quite an impressive game, which is a good indication that more interesting things are still to come. If you love all things related to space and the universe, then SpaceEngine gets a no-brainer recommendation and is definitely a must-play. As such, there are still parts of the map that are undone and cannot be explored just yet. Before you stray out too far, just be aware that this game is still in Early Access. It even has a journaling system that meticulously keeps track of every place you visit, offering a wealth of information and trivia about it. If you lose your way, an interstellar map is there to help guide you back.

The visual experience is rounded out with support for VR headsets for even deeper immersion. The simulation's physics is also based on scientific data, so the way you see planets and celestial objects move and behave is as accurate as can be.


From dust clouds to solar rays, and planetary terrain, it's a breathtaking sight. One of the highlight features of this app is its photorealistic models-and it shows. While most will never get to see it in person, game simulations serve as the next best thing, and SpaceEngine is shaping up to be an impressive showcase. This seemingly limitless void of space and matter has been studied and analyzed by astronomers for centuries, yet it still holds so much wonder and secrets. No other mystery is as perplexing and awe-inspiring as the universe itself.
