As a long-time Space Engineers player, I made the switch to Empyrion for several reasons:

Dynamic Environment: Unlike a barren space, Empyrion offers a vibrant setting filled with random pirate ships, trading stations, and diverse planetary flora and fauna. There's an abundance of PvE combat that keeps things exciting.

Cooperative Gameplay: Having a second player onboard is a game-changer. Human-operated turrets offer more firing options, making a crewed ship far more formidable than one just equipped with automated turrets. For example, artillery turrets can fire EMP rounds under human control, effectively disabling enemy shields.

Small Fighter Relevance: Fighters built with smaller blocks are crucial since capital vessels (CVs) can’t operate effectively on planets. These fighters excel as shield breakers and remain valuable throughout the game, unlike in Space Engineers.

Ground Combat: Empyrion features extensive infantry combat where you can raid bases, engage in intense firefights, and explore hostile environments.

Expansive Universe: The game offers a vast galaxy with numerous planets and moons, each with unique features. Whether exploring points of interest, mines, reactors, or towns teeming with creatures, the thrill of discovery feels endless.

Resource Management: I appreciate how gold and platinum serve dual purposes: resources or currency. How you use them is entirely up to you, adding a layer of strategy.

While Space Engineers is a fantastic game, Empyrion fills in the gaps it left. Empyrion provides a complete gameplay experience that keeps you engaged all the way through. Achieving "endgame" status is challenging, and boredom is a rarity. I’d rate it 90%, with minor drawbacks like graphics that don’t quite match Star Citizen’s or the occasional bug, but overall, it’s an incredible game.

Hours of fun with friends and backstabbing is amazing :)

Pretty dam good

People are going to grip and complain the point being the game does need some polishing overall the game is running very smooth and the game seems reasonable running well. I will note that having a early play would have been smart since we paid over $100 for the U edition. But they slapped us in the face with this. I expect a Day one patch will be coming.

I guess they lied about that i thought everything we had from CS1.... Was going to be in this but upgraded did i miss hear what they stated at announcement

Toll booths are gone lots of missing parts to the game i think right now ill go back to CS1 until they fix the issues with CS2

S.W.A.T. 5

Hands down one of the best games of 2020.

This game is wonderful however it has lots of bugs please read up on it the DEVS do not want to fix these bugs i have been trying to get mine to work however i get the Fatal error in gc: GetThreadContext failed which has not been fixed since 2015! this bug is with AVAST and Kaspersky i have done everything it states and it still does not work. Until this is fixed i cannot play this game. Very upset about this. I would not recommend this game until the DEVS fix the BUGS!
