Space Engineers – at first glance you might be tempted to say “Look, it’s Minecraftin space!” And I suppose in a way it is, but it’s so much more fun! From the threat of suffocating in your spacesuit to crashing your lovingly-crafted ship into an asteroid (or another person like I did), there’s so much to do already in the title, even though it’s only in early access on Steam. Space Engineers is the latest project by Keen House Software, and it’s a “sandbox space game all about engineering, construction and maintenance of space works”. What you build is really up to you, and it really is like Minecraft in space.

Since that time a host of addition DLC packs have enhanced the base game, bringing new ideas and features. And that's where we are today with the arrival of the Space Engineers: Warfare 1 Field Engineer DLC."
Space Engineers Crossplay for PC and Xbox has arrived in a new update that also brings improvements to mod support on both platforms.
