The concept is interesting and seemed like a good rival to Space Engineers, but falls flat on it's face.

Game play wise, it's ok, not great, not terrible. Survival is basic, and exploration is ok at best.

The art style/assets is were the game suffers the most. It feels like an asset flip at times, the substance of the gameplay can't come near enough to make me not look at everything and go, "How much did they get this asset for, free?" Dinos on alien worlds, aliens that are generic and a UI that is unimaginative. And Dinos on alien worlds? Come on, that's really lazy even if place holders for now.

Building, creative is interesting, survival it's a pain. The best part is to build something in creative and use the "factory" to make it in the player inventory, it's a nice concept, however also detracts from the survival/builder genre feel.

All and all, I've wanted this game to work, I've waited and jumped in over and over with every major update to see what changes but never feels like much has change and I've waited a while to post a review. Would not recommend in it's current state and don't have hope for much improvement.

i see , i like space eng and empyrion. still empyrion have allot more to do and allot better survival , SE have better bluid and physics , personaly i would recommend SE and Empyrion bacause each one have strong and weak points but they have the play style i like . I only think is a bit strange like one game and dislike the another one , because in the end they are the most similar games on all gaming market XD

Space Engineers has it's own issues, mostly being empty unless multiplayer. However the SE has a far better polished art style, better survival building, fun physics, and overall a more cohesive unified game. On top of a very healthy modding community. I recommend SE, I don't recommend Empyrion. Like I said, Empyrion suffers most from feeling like an unimaginative asset flip.

well i guess you also not recommend Space engineers for the same reasons?
