An absolutely astonishingly beautiful game.

Its a factory game like Satisfactory or Factorio. With the similar kind of mindset of "The factory must grow!", it differs from allowing interstellar travel between stars in your system as well as the planets around those stars.
The mindset in Dyson Sphere is "The power must grow!" where factories flourish with new power developments, and stutter when to many factories are built too fast without sustaining enough power generation. Be it solar, nuclear, coal, or a hydrogen mixed fuel to use at the start.

The ultimate goal is to build a Dyson Sphere, but getting there you'll have to start off with basic resources like iron, copper, and coal. As you progress, traveling to other planets will yield different resources, as well as specific planets having abundance of rare resources over others.
With this you can set up interstellar stations to automate long haul resources around your systems to expound on your growth of factories towards building your first Dyson Sphere.

Once you've progressed through the technologies enough, you'll be able to start setting up a system to either launch Solar Sails and the Dyson Frame Structure itself. Collectively the sails will go to the framing structure and web a solar mesh around the sun. Thus building the Dyson Sphere structure.

The Dyson structure is designed completely through the players artistic will, allowing for unlimited amount of themed and coloured Dyson Sphere Structures you can build. Growing further, you can layer the spheres in a layered mesh (like an onion) to build another structure around, or inside the original sphere. Although there's a reduction of power generation on the outer sphere, you can create gaps, designs, or alternate rotating structures to allow for another artistic dimension allowing for even more ideas of structure designs.

Collectively the beauty of watching logistic ships travel between systems. The solar sails launching into their solar orbit, awaiting to fall into your framed structure, and the spidering of growth as your design comes to life. All in a silence of space with a chill tune, it's stunning and rewarding.

10/10 Game

Storyline

In the distant future, the power of science and technology has ushered a new age to the human race. Space and time have become irrelevant thanks to virtual reality. A new kind of supercomputer has been developed – a machine whose superior artificial intelligence and computing capability will push humanity even further. There is only one problem: there isn’t enough energy in the whole planet to feed this machine. You are a space engineer in charge of a project launched by the space alliance COSMO, tasked with a massive undertaking: constructing Dyson Spheres (a megastructure that would orbit around a star, harnessing all its power and energy) to produce the energy that humanity needs. Only a few decades ago, Dyson Spheres were considered a hypothetical, impossible invention – but now it’s in your hands… Will you be able to turn a backwater space workshop into a galaxy-wide industrial production empire? Neutron stars, white dwarfs, red giants, gaseous and rocky planets… There is a big and varied universe out there, waiting for you to gather all its resources. Every playthrough will be unique: your universe will be procedurally generated every time you start a new game. There will be different types and distribution of stars, planets and resources. Will you manage to thrive and build your Spheres, no matter what the universe throws at you?
