How it feels

You float through an abstract universe, growing from a tiny asteroid into a star system by absorbing matter, choosing between peaceful nurturing or chaotic destruction.

What players say

Players describe Solar 2 as an imaginative cosmic sandbox where you grow from a tiny asteroid into stars and solar systems, but a sudden black hole can erase all progress, which some find infuriating. Progress is seen as either slow and tedious or deeply relaxing, and a few call the achievement requirements too punishing.
