What players say

95% of 51,557 reviews are positive · 95% of 111 in the last 30 days

Players praise the flexible construction system, physics-driven destruction, and freedom to create unusual machines. The most common complaint is weak onboarding, with parts and advanced building techniques poorly explained. Recent players also report crashes and startup problems, particularly on Linux.
