Universe sandbox looks interesting, can you zoom right out and in again, does it make ones brain melt with the scale of it? I cant really afford £20 if it doesnt melt ones brain

Does Outerra fit the bill?

Rasseru · 9 Mar 2017 at 21:38

oh that looks cool! I mean more our actual solar system but that rocks, cant wait for google earth to be that nice looking

Titans of Space < another vote for this one. Blew my mind in the DK2 and still does the job in the Vive. Helps with the scale to. The size of some of those suns!

I demo'd Universe Sandbox 2. One punter actually came out with tears in her eyes, and still gets emotional when recollecting the experience...

Ok, thats a pretty good recommendation. Do you like it a lot as well?

I'm at a stage where i'm fed up with throwing money at unfinished/unsatisfying games.

I do. At the end of a play session or when I CBA playing an actual game because tired, I just kick back, stretch out on the floor and chill. It's very relaxing. I don't play for more than about 20-30 minutes when I do, but I'm always feeling chilled... oh wait... you said brain melt... ermm.. It's very impressive, but I like that sort of thing. It's kinda personal, I guess. YMMV? Couldn't you at least try it for a wee while and if it really isn't living up to expectations, go for a steam refund?

It looks like it has come a long way since I last used it a few years ago, and it was pretty amazing then!

Have you given it a punt then? How's it working out?

I havent actually. Ran out of money for a while. I've been on such a splurge with games recently
