3,500 hours into this game and a decade later, guess I should leave a review huh? Ok, so let me preface this first by stating that this is a small development studio game, like we're talking single digits, and they've designed this absolutely incredible gem of a beautifully broken game. The very fact that a game like this, with such a small development team has been around 10 years, should tell you something. The game has wonderful bones, and honestly I've played a lot of different games of the genre and there is absolutely nothing that lets you build custom bases, ships and even capital vessels like Empyrion. There just isn't anything like it, and the community for this game is absolutely incredible. Frankly the community should be credited for at least half of the reason this game is still alive. Look over on Youtube and search Reforged Eden 2, and you will see what I mean. That's not saying Vanilla is bad, they've just recently done a major update to vanilla that I am playing through now and so far so good! Is this game for everyone? Absolutely not. If you are looking for something shiny and with new, sparkly graphics, play something else. If your idea of a creative building game is prefabricated, modular designs that you didn't create and blueprint yourself, then go play Starfield. If you are looking for absolutely perfect, seamless combat, with excellent melee and range alternatives, go play a AAA game like Doom. Empyrion is a unique game, and it's not perfect, but it's certainly good enough and definitely good enough for the price. If you like survival, a bit of pew pew, and exercising creativity where there are very few limits at all, and are not afraid to face a bug or two here or there, then this is your game. It's been here for a long time, and well, it's still going and I do look forward to seeing what may happen next.

This game… this horrible and gorgeous game — full of bugs and rough in every aspect: [*]An incomprehensible and terrible UI. [*]NPCs that get stuck on the tiniest polygon, yet somehow have perfect, instant headshot aim when they shoot at you. [*]Quests that can’t be completed and block your progression. Enemy drones that don’t even react when you fire at them. [*]If your friend turns on the thrusters while you’re not seated, you will clip straight through the ship’s hull and into oblivion. [*]Generic, free 3D assets are scattered everywhere. [*]They took seven years just to add the ability to crouch [*]Many weapons still have misaligned crosshairs. And yet, with all these flaws, after 10 years and 1,000 hours of gameplay, there’s no other game I want more to evolve and achieve the success it deserves. After all this time, and countless memories playing with friends — memories of instant death by an invisible sniper, but also of traveling in our own handmade capital ship to another system, trying to mine zascosium from a toxic planet by deploying our hover mining vessel escorted by an armed small craft, only to spend hours fighting through a POI swarmed by abominations — I must say: this game is not for everyone. If you’re like me and after spending the GDP of a small country on games you still can’t find another that lets you explore, exploit, and fight across the galaxy with your own creation and you’re willing to scratch beneath the surface and discover the magic in this horrible, unique game — then give it a chance. I just hope my lifespan allows me to see it reach its true potential.

I have exactly 3500 hours into this game as of this writing. But it's not this game that I'm playing. I am playing Reforged Eden 2, a scenario built around this game. I played vanilla Empyrion for awhile and started getting kind of bored with it. But Reforged Eden 1 came along and totally hooked me. Then came Reforged Eden 2 and I will never put this game down. I spend almost every waking moment playing it. I've played Space Engineers, Elite Dangerous, No man's sky and most of the other good space games but nothing even comes close to what you can do in this game. After playing it for about a year I still get surprises now and then, something I didn't know existed in the game. The guy that created RE2 is amazing, he is very imaginative and creative and I feel he has a very kind heart. He is a very good story teller, you can see it in his long missions. Yes, I highly recommend this game but without RE2 I feel I would be playing something else by now. :)

In comparison to allot of building based space games this can be counted among the few that actually has a universe that feels alive. I think that these game designers understand that not everyone wants to play online with other people, and as a matter of fact want to get away from people. At least in this game their are npcs to interact with and fight with. The NPCs seems to be a working progress but the game doesn't feel completely empty like Space Engineers does. So far Im very happy,
