About this game
Space Engineers is a game about exploring planets, building spaceships and stations, and mining resources from asteroids.
It was a precursor of sorts to No Man’s Sky.

The player explores worlds and systems that are based on the settings and options selected by the player; for example, the use of procedural generation, the speed of processes, and the hostility of the environment.
Space Engineers allows a lot of options for customization, and the game’s code is open source, making it popular among modders.
The player assumes control over the human protagonist in a space suit and, at some stages of the game, an exploration ship (with options for both first and third person view).
The player can build a variety of structures using different types of blocks and tools.
Available structures include ships, planetary outposts, and space stations.
The game includes a campaign and a set of standalone scenarios.
Each of the scenarios, in turn, can be played in “Creative” or “Survival” mode.
The former is an easy sandbox in which the player is not limited in resources and cannot die.
The latter requires the player to mine resources and to keep track of the main character’s health and oxygen level.
The game’s graphics are based on voxels (3D pixels), though, unlike some other voxel-based games, it doesn’t look like pixel art.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Space Engineers for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Space Engineers to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2013.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Space Engineers, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PC titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
