[H3]DISCLAIMER:[/H3] I HIGHLY suggest playing this game with Reforged Eden 2 mod/scenario, it adds so much content, and makes the game SO much better, you have no idea. I've gobbled up 200+ hours of this game in like a couple of weeks, and I'm honestly in love with it. Granted that I'm getting close to the endgame very soon, and it saddens me a bit, but come on, 200+ hours as a baseline for content is pretty amazing. RE2 has a giant galaxy with a ton of factions, missions, stories, creepy spooky locations and many more other amazing things. There are a bunch of pretty rough edges (the most jarring are probably the non-rotating night sky when you're flying around moons, while the surrounding celestial bodies ARE rotating, and the ridiculous space distances which should be measured in thousands of kilometers, instead are measured in... just kilometers. Space doesn't really feel big at all, it's quite immersion breaking). The character animations are also pretty bad, devs should probably make them a LITTLE bit better. Anyway, with a handful of patches and adjustments, this might become the best space game currently on the market. That's coming from someone who has over 1300 hours in Elite: Dangerous and an avid Freelancer lover...

In light of the recent negative reviews(looking at you dude with 2.5h into the game but can somehow explain how 60 hours of content suck...): It has its flaws, sure. But it's still an indie game and a labour of love. The devs are trying their best from what I can tell and I keep coming back to just enjoy space. It's better every time, no matter what people say. If you can look past the flaws, it's fundamentally different to its contenders and offers its own unique experience that they do not or cannot. If you can't... Fair I guess. But the rest of us love it! Give it a shot if you haven't.

If you enjoyed space engineers but felt like it was an endless grind to a storyless game, Empyrion is your game. Hands down the best space builder I've played yet!

Amazing! (for single players) Could it be better? Sure... But picture this: You start the game, you know nothing about it, only that it's a survival game. It opens up and you're in an escape pod. You're falling to the ground fast! You rush for the controls to see if you can actually control it in any way... You can, but only left and right. Maybe I should aim for the water? Crash! My eyes open and I'm on the ground, outside the escape pod and apparently hurt. A little text shows up and tells me to check the escape pod for anything useful. There are some bandages, rations and other titbits. The text shows up again and it turns out I have a little AI companion that helps me out, it suggests I look for food. Soon I find some and the AI tells me about my survival suit can make a mini constructor for processing things. OK, cool, wait... What are those creatures over there, are they dangerous? Ah no, it appears to be some sort of cow. So I install my constructor and discover I can make a tent and a tool for harvesting/mining. Suddenly out of nowhere something bites me! I run as I look back they appear to be some sort of spiders. I reach the edge of the water and I jump without thinking! It turns out I can swim and hold my breath for a bit. I notice something at the bottom of the lake/river. My AI tells me I can make fuel out of it, cool! Ouch! Something bites me again I swim to the surface and head for the opposite coast... When I reach it I see these weird looking sea creatures follow me out, but they don't stray far from the water. At this point the sun is going down and I'm getting cold. I look through the things I can build and it turns out there's a heater, but I need a rock to extract metal from. OK, I find one, craft it and put it to work, but it only works in close proximity. Suddenly, what appears to be a small dinosaur appears out of nowhere and starts attacking me... I barely have time to escape with my things. I jump in the water again and swim to what appears to be a small island. I decide that making a cave is probably the safest thing. I set my tent, my constructor and my heater down. I have a bite to eat but I get sick! I must've eaten something bad. My AI tells me I can take a specific medicine to cure myself, but for that I need some leaves. I venture out into the mini forest on the island and I find them. I craft them and I'm cured. I hear a sound of relief! I head back to my cave and the sun has set on the horizon. The colours are beautiful and they reflect on the water. I can also hear insects and animals far away. I take a moment to enjoy and take it all in and suddenly I hear an ungodly scream right behind me. I turn, but it's pitch black.. Suddenly the ugliest face of the ugliest creature I've ever seen appears from the shadows, boom! I'm dead. My heart is racing, I look at the time, it's only been 20 minutes and I can respawn nearby. I think I'll just start again, that's was intense! The game continues like this for quite a while. There are several stories that branch out and eventually you discovers you can make all kinds of bases, vehicles and space ships. The game slows down quite a bit once you reach space and eventually just kind of dies off, which was disappointing. But it was worth every penny till that point. Totally enjoyable! Construction-wise don't expect Space Engineers We do not have pistons, rotors nor hinges. But Empyrion has vastly more blocks and devices that said game. Ramps, doors of all shapes, shutters, retracting gears, weapons, tools, boarding ramps, decorations and more importantly than all the above: dozens of construction blocks!!! Which means you can achieve far more shapes for ships and vehicles without the need for any Mods. My favourite feature is that you can actually sleep in beds to pass the time when constructing! Which was a feature I suggested, so the Devs listen.... (up to a point 😜)
