I am an avid sandbox, open world/building/crafting, survival/adventure/rpg player. I've tried every title out there and supported almost every early access I thought it had potential. Off the top of my head some that I sunk many hours into, were Rust (frustrating), Planet Explorers (many bugs), Space Engineers (no content), Subnautica (pretty good) etc etc

And then there is Empyrion. Admittedly the only one that I keep coming back to, again and again. In a short time it's been in early access, it has surpassed all of the above. Stable enough to be enjoyable in long stints, with deep survival gameplay elements which are actually fun, building/crafting in reasonable time which you can enjoy, it ticks most of the boxes. Unlike SE, PEs etc its not frustrating to play and that is in opinion what sets Empyrion apart.

Some of the pros are, the POIs (points of interest) on planets, the crafting/building, the great steam workshop integration and its replayablility. As an early release it does have its bugs but nothing really game stopping.

Bottom line, Empyrion is a lot of fun and highly recommended. 7/10
