One of the best games i ever touched. You can do basicly everyhting, build up towns, countrys and federations where you get an economy to run with the people around you on the server. So destroying the Asteriod is not the main goal at least for me. Building up a economic healthy civilization is for me the main goal. Only bad part about it, i came years to late to the game. There barly some servers with a healthy population, maybe 2 - 3 servers which still have their 30 - 40 people constantly playing. Beside that the game is pretty dead with like 100 - 150 people a day playing it. Am hopeing on a big mature update which may bring back the community. Sadly i missed these days with 300 people on a world which would be one of the greatest multiplayer expierences i would ever have.
The thing I like about Eco is it's a survival/craft game that requires infrastructure. I need buildings for machines to work and bridges for vehicles to drive over. I don't have everything in a small base and just carry everything form A to B in my inventory. It's also got a good basis for advancing, tedium is good as less tedium is a reward for advancing and investing. Such as good food meaning I don't have to shovel 20 beetroots down my throat with a slow animation. The biggest problem with this game is it's far too painful, long and expensive to ever get anyone else to play this with you and it's built to be a multiplayer 'society builder' game. So playing this game singleplayer is ass, you're basically required to cheat to unlock stars to unlock careers to unlock tech and crafting recipes. I want to build a stove so I'm not cooking on a campfire, so I need forks, which needs iron and the blacksmithing skill, which needs the smelting skill, which needs masonry and carpentry, which needs mining logging and gathering. But wait I also need lumber, which needs a sawmill and flaxseed, a sawmill I can already make with the skill I picked up making forks but the flaxseed oil needs milling, which needs farming and campfire cooking and then I need to also farm the flax, which takes time and the game doesn't explain if my flax is going to grow or die because of soil and overcrowding and yes, I did make sure to plant it in the correct biome, All of this seems good from a tech tree that wants you to engage with all its systems *but* the game wants you to fill your role and have other roles filled by other players and so to play it single player means bearing the full weight of the game's tedium and having it fight against you as it wants you to society build not do everything yourself 6/10 It seems good at what it wants to do but damn does it not want me to play it my way
This game works perfectly fine as a singleplayer game as well, you just need to tweak your settings accordingly. I have never played on any servers and only played once with my friends but we didn't get far, so except for maybe 20 hours, my playtime has been alone. And I am having a *blast* over here, sure I might be missing out on the social aspects (collaboration, politics, ...) of the game but who cares? I love decorating my world, constructing houses and other buildings, collecting copious amounts of junk... it's great. Can recommend.
A socio-economic simulator that teaches you how quickly and successfully communism overtakes capitalism when the end of the world is a week away. I've played quite a few full runs from start to finish in these 1,600+ hours and it plays out the same way virtually every time, without fail. It's actually quite fascinating and should probably be studied. Beyond that, it's such a chill and enjoyable social experience. Even asocial folks find themselves pulled into socialization, if for necessity more than anything else, but also because it's just hard to resist in this game for some reason. I've made friends on Eco over the years that are still friends to this day. It's also been a non-stop labor of love by the devs. It's truly a shame that very few devs give this much of their lives and passion to one project and stick with it, long after the initial release sales have tapered off. I come back every 2 or 3 years to new mechanics to learn and new toys to play with. Eco is easily in my top 3 list of most unique games ever. I will never stop coming back to it and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
Better than Minecraft. This game is criminally underrated — with the right marketing and a more active dev team, it could easily put Minecraft to shame. ECO is so unique that it’s almost impossible to capture its magic in words; you really have to experience it yourself. Just don’t play it solo — that’s a completely different (and honestly much weaker) experience. The real magic happens when you dive in with a community of friends, building, managing, and shaping the world together. ECO isn’t just another survival crafting game, it’s a social experiment wrapped in a sandbox — and it’s unlike anything else out there.
