A brilliant engineering sandbox, a source of endless experimentation and laughter. Building with a controller is less smooth than with a mouse, but the freedom and physics remain an inexhaustible playground.

"Masterful"
A toolbox and honest physics: the game never proposes a solution, only parts. Every level is an open engineering problem, and watching your rickety machine finally accomplish its mission delivers a pride few games know how to offer.
A sandbox where engineering becomes a limitless playground. For the total freedom of its builds, the quality of its physics and the joy of watching your absurd contraptions work (or explode), it's a gem of inventiveness that never runs dry.
Is Besiege still worth playing in 2026?
Recently arrived on Switch, Besiege finally brings its brilliant engineering sandbox to console, where you assemble absurd siege engines with delightful physics. A cult hit on PC for years, this playground of total freedom stays unique of its kind and inexhaustible. As creative and sandbox games ride high, it's a delightful discovery. On Switch, you tinker with your machines quietly, on the go, laughing as much at your failures as your successes.
