The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A deeply immersive sandbox where you tinker, build, and explore at your own pace, with a satisfying sense of creation and destruction.

What players say

Players are split on Space Engineers 2. Some praise the unified grid system and improved engine over the original, while many others point to bugs, clunky controls, a save system that overwrites your only file, and poor performance even on lower settings. The early access state frustrates those who expected a more polished experience, but long-time fans see potential.
