Now, I love space. I love it as much as I love history. Is up there among my list of loved things. All being my wife, history, my brother, Эмма, and my friends. Enough about my life, I'll talk about that later. This...this is time for my review of a fantastic simulator. Created by a Russian man too! Vladimir Romanyuk. Sounds familiar to me, but I highly doubt I know this man

Well back to the review. Space Engine isn't really a game, but is a simulator. A extremely fun simulator in which you can view all types of celestial bodies in the entire universe. You start off by Earth and from there you can go anywhere. And I mean anywhere in the whole entire damn universe. You can land on planets, and get all the information we know about them. Click on the planet Mars for example, and you'll get all the information about it. The orbital motion of planets and stars is calculated in real time, with the ability to increase, decrease, or rewind the flow of time!

Core temp, core makeup, speed of this and that. So much cool science information. You can zoom, like in Star Wars, to any body in space. See a cool star while you're near Pluto? Click on it and you can pick the speed in which you zoom to it. Like hyperdrive in the Millennium falcon. (Sorry if I got any Star Wars info wrong. I not seen it many times.)

Visit all types of celestial objects. Planets, moons, asteroids, stars, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. Known celestial objects are represented too. Want to see the binary system of Sirius (North Star)? Type it in, and ZOOM! You're seeing what you'd actually see according to our collected information.

We don't know everything in the universe though. So when you find things that we haven't seen in real life they're procedurally generated. Procedurally generated!!!! You can find planets and moons and other bodies like nothing we've seen! Landscapes of planets and stars. For uncharted exo-planets the surface is generated procedurally just like the known planets. You can land on planets and go into the atmosphere. It's beautifully gorgeous

There's controlable spaceships too. Controllable...spaceships....

FLY TO PLANETS AND OTHER BODIES. I'm getting too excited...sorry...is for Windows only at the moment and is completely free. Being updated a lot, with the ability to mod it and stuff. I don't know modding though

Just look at the beautiful things you can see. First I'll show you real planets and then uncharted, procedurally generated, exoplanets you can visit. I'm not a awesome youtube person, but if you want to see a good show off of gameplay go look at Kurt's videos. Youtube kurtjmac. He is awesome and awkward. Love him.
