A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Space Engineers. I've never fought a running game as much as this one. Autosaving causes the game to hang for 10 seconds and it saves every 5 minutes. For a game made in 2013 I had to lower all the settings to medium and off to get a decent framerate. The first playthrough I barely got anywhere in nearly 20 hours of play. The learning curve is pretty high. I felt like Dr. Malcolm tapping on the screen yelling 'there is 'space in this game right?'

All that being said I still enjoy it. The learning curve tapers off pretty quickly after the first playthrough. Now it's about learning how to build ships and experimenting with different part combinations. It's a clunky mess of a game, but I am enjoying it.

That being said I also picked up Avorion as a comparison game. I also wish listed Empyrion to complete the voxel space epic trilogy. All this to find a game better than No Man's Sky and X4.

Space engineers is fun, I wish there was something like it with Kerbal Space Program like physics and parts. Space engineers is fun but you literally just go straight up and you're "in space" which means gravity just doesn't effect you anymore.
