One of its kind. There was time when Space Engineer and Empyrion - Galactic Survival were both of equal interest to me. Not anymore. Space Engineer has become an overly complex puzzle game where you need to know so many things to be able to progress, it is no fun anymore. At least for me. Empyrion? Yes! Relatively easy to get into, hundreds of hours you can invest into this game and never feel like you wasted your time. You can follow the campaign or you ignore it. You can play it single player or multiplayer. You can play scenarios or just enjoy the gigantic open world. You can create your own ships and station, hover vehicles, small fliers or large flyers. On the planet or in space. You can create vehicles which have the minimum to be able to move or can create gigantic monsters which darken the sky. Everything is pretty simple to understand after you found out about it, there is really nearly nothing where you can't understand it. You can create your own space stations or use prepared blueprints and just fill in the materials. These blueprints can come from yourself or from the workshop. You can invest a lot of time to design your own vehicles or stations. If you upload these to the workshop, you can use them in each of your following games. Meaning, you will never feel like you lost time when you designed something, because you and others will use it in the future again and again. Gather materials, build, fight. You fight on foot and in your ship. On planets and in space. Starting with simple and cheap weapons and later switching to epic and expensive weapons for which you can't even create the ammunition in the first hours of gameplay. You can gather ore with your drill, with your player drone or with your vehicles. And there are Auto-Miners. This is one of the best games for space exploration, mining and building. There is practically no competitor for this game. Yes, pure flying is much better in Elite Dangerous. Yes, pure farming is much better in Farming Simulator. Yes, pure foot combat is better in Call of Duty. Yes, pure Space fighting is probably better in X3, but tastes differ. Yes, building vehicles and stations is much easier and probably better in Interstellar Rift. Yes, Elite Dangerous has probably a larger galaxy. But no, there is no game which has all these features in a nice package where it is fun to play and each above named feature is easy and nice. If you like Space games and space ships and the like, then there are certain games you will want to have played. - Elite Dangerous - Genesis Alpha One Deluxe - Interstellar Rift (because of the ship builder) - No Man's Sky - Starfield (no, not because of the space fights) - X3 (no, not X4) - Star Trek Online and - Empyrion - Galactic Survival. So, yes, I think this game is one of the "must have played" if you like space games.

For its construction/sandbox merits alone, it's not really on the level of Space Engineers or a lot of other ship-builders. But a lot of other games, SE included, don't give you a whole lot to actually *do* with your creations, and this game takes a shot at providing that. Combined with the Reforged Eden mod, which you only need a basic level of familiarity with the game's controls to enjoy, it's an extremely janky experience that nevertheless manages to be pretty fun, especially for the price tag. Your best friend for construction will be the F5 key, which summons a free drone that gives a limited (but pretty large) range of vertical freedom to pick up and place things. It's always available, no assembly needed. Some of the reviews seem to have missed this vital ability.

As a long-time Space Engineers player, I made the switch to Empyrion for several reasons: Dynamic Environment: Unlike a barren space, Empyrion offers a vibrant setting filled with random pirate ships, trading stations, and diverse planetary flora and fauna. There's an abundance of PvE combat that keeps things exciting. Cooperative Gameplay: Having a second player onboard is a game-changer. Human-operated turrets offer more firing options, making a crewed ship far more formidable than one just equipped with automated turrets. For example, artillery turrets can fire EMP rounds under human control, effectively disabling enemy shields. Small Fighter Relevance: Fighters built with smaller blocks are crucial since capital vessels (CVs) can’t operate effectively on planets. These fighters excel as shield breakers and remain valuable throughout the game, unlike in Space Engineers. Ground Combat: Empyrion features extensive infantry combat where you can raid bases, engage in intense firefights, and explore hostile environments. Expansive Universe: The game offers a vast galaxy with numerous planets and moons, each with unique features. Whether exploring points of interest, mines, reactors, or towns teeming with creatures, the thrill of discovery feels endless. Resource Management: I appreciate how gold and platinum serve dual purposes: resources or currency. How you use them is entirely up to you, adding a layer of strategy. While Space Engineers is a fantastic game, Empyrion fills in the gaps it left. Empyrion provides a complete gameplay experience that keeps you engaged all the way through. Achieving "endgame" status is challenging, and boredom is a rarity. I’d rate it 90%, with minor drawbacks like graphics that don’t quite match Star Citizen’s or the occasional bug, but overall, it’s an incredible game.

I like the fact you have 3 mode of playing this game. The internet is so toxic, so solo or coop is perfect for me. I don't need or want the drama, and with this game I don't get it. Thank you.

As an experienced SE player, I switched to Empyrion for a few reasons. 1.The game is not an empty environment, it has random pirate ships, random trading stations and fauna and flora on the planets, there is a lot of PvE combat. 2.In this game having a second operator on the ship is a big bonus, the turrets operated by Humans have more shooting options, generally a ship with a crew is stronger and is not just a ship with turrets ,for example artillery turrets in the Human operator option can shoot EMP, which is quite effective at knocking down enemy shields. 3.Fighters from small blocks are very important in the game because CVs are useless on planets, Fighters also have greater strength as shield attackers, generally small fighters are important throughout the game which this aspects was very discredited in SE. 4.The game has a lot of infantry combat aspect, where you have to attack stations and take part in gunfights, 5.Very large galaxies with many planets and moons with different shells, endless time of research and discovery ,POI ,mines ,reactor , towns full of spiders or bugs ,fight fight fight. 6.I was delighted that gold is gold and platinum is platinum, money is important in this game ,this is your choice if you get gold how you are going to utilise it as resource or money. Please don't get me wrong, SE is a great game but all the shortcomings it had were filled in Empyrion, Empyrion generally gives you game satisfaction until the very end, it's hard to reach end game status and start to get bored ,for me 90% score ,there are negatives such as Graphic in comparison to Star Citizen or small bugs but game is great. *SE = Space Engineers
