Genre: Simulation, Open World, Casual, VR, Sci-fi The options you have for destruction are nearly as diverse as the options for construction. Or accidently blowing up Jupiter and watching the debris form into a second asteroid belt. Accidentally making Earth the same size as the Sun and pinging Mercury and Venus out past Uranus, Neptune and the Kuiper belt into the interstellar medium, for example. If you get it right, their orbit carves a graceful arc across the empty darkness of space. You put rocks in space, set various physical properties such as velocity, mass and density, then watch them whizz about while cackling with glee at your power over the universe. It's simply a physics sandbox that focuses on doing one thing right: gravity. There are no bosses, no buffs or power-ups, no levelling-up system, and no objective. Judging Universe Sandbox as a game seems a little unfair.
