How it feels

You float above a spiral galaxy, watching stars form and civilizations rise and fall at your own pace, with calm controls and a meditative sense of scale.

What players say

Players are split on Galactic Simulator, but many agree it is an idle game with very little to do, where progress is extremely slow and the player has almost no influence on outcomes. The galaxy visuals are widely praised, but the UI is called basic and buggy, and several reviews complain that the game feels unfinished and content-poor, especially with a sequel announced.
