The WhatsNext verdict

For Inventive tinkerers and groups of friends who enjoy physics sandboxes, modular engineering, and vehicle construction.: Building functional cars, aircraft, boats, and hybrids from scratch turns physics and experimentation into a playful sandbox where catastrophic failure is just as entertaining as engineering success. Tradeoff: The campaign mode relies heavily on repetitive retrieval loops, and the building interface alongside physics quirks can sometimes feel fiddly.

What it does best

  • Build almost anything that moves

  • Physics turn every experiment into a story

  • Vehicle-building becomes hilarious with friends

  • Designed machines are genuinely fun to pilot

What might put you off

  • The builder can feel fiddly and janky

  • The campaign is tedious busywork
