Empyrion - Galactic Survival

Something of note. Most of the positive reviews are from people who no longer play the game based on their own gameplay hours from the times of their reviews. I booted this back up after being away from it for a few years. EAC is now required and cross-play is forced through the Epic Client. IF you do not enable this, there are fewer than 50 total players across all game servers. The game is effectively dead. Not worth the price tag.

Bought it at its original release on Steam years ago. The game had potential then, it was unfinished but it was early days.. over 6 years later and barely anything has changed. This is a game that will never be finished and is not a complete game. Full of Bugs. It had potential years ago. It is just a money farm for anyone will stilling to give it a chance.

[h1]Game forever in development while devs delete comments that make them unhappy.[/h1] I wouldn't have left this review if the devs didn't act like collosal ♥♥♥♥♥ and deleted my simple comment on an update thread posted about v1.18, where someone asked for achievements. I supported these ♥♥♥♥♥♥ devs since Early Access back in 2017 and they act like they're doing us a favor while making one of the most generic survival games in existence. Anyway, this was my reply to that person asking for achievements: [h3]"Dear lord, I last played this game back in 2017 (according to Steam), but have installed it recently thinking about trying it out again. I didn't even realize this game had no achievements (well, except for one hidden one?). Eh, I'll wait a little more while they finish adding them. Not interested in playing survival games for hours without a good amount of achievements in them, I enjoy collecting them after-all. Achievements are the only thing that keeps you going when you're done leveling up everything else in SP anyway, god knows it isn't the lack of any interesting lore or world development in these games.. unless this game somehow changed that in 9 years I haven't played it. I guess I'll check back in a few more years when that happens."[/h3] --------- Well, forget playing the game, I'm binning this game in "trash" folder forever and leaving one more negative review this game and its garbage devs deserve. Maybe fix your broken game and make it fun instead of deleting comments on your pointless updates. Never buying anything else from.. oh wait, they've been working on same game for over 9 years at this point. You wanna know why I didn't touch this game since 2017? Because the game was boring. The base building was garbage (even compared to 7 Days to Die back then), enemies felt like generic stock assets put there to just rush the player for no reason, the visuals were ugly as sin and the whole thing felt like a third-rate survival clone of a genre that was already exploding on Steam (there a lot of games like this on Steam nowadays). That was my experience back in 2017, and judging by the players leaving negative reviews now, it hasn't changed. All they've done is added Epic's EAC and forcing it through Epic's client, on Steam. Congrats. Anyway, just take my negative review and add it to the pile.

This is a very well rounded game. alot of fun. It can get as technical as YOU want it to get. If you want to hang out on the starter planets with the Bobs and stay simple and play EASY and RELAXING, you can. If you want to space travel 1,000 light years from the viking bay Bobs,, then get busy, get technical, and build a ship that can take you there. Go find an unexplored galaxy & star system where i promise you wont see any other players. Go find a nice habital planet to call your own and build to your hearts content. If joining up with a tribe and staying on a populated planet with a community is your thing, you can do that too. We like to get at least 400 light years away from the starters, its in teleport range but far enough out we very rarely ever see anyone. Build mechanics can be very simple and basic to highly technical. All depending on what YOU want to do , and WHERE you want to go. There is NEVER any shortage of things to do. Go to close planets explore, gather resources, or go raiding POI's for goodies and get into battles with un friendly aliens who dont want you raiding their bases. battle on foot on planets or in space with enemy ships. but be careful, some of these alien factions are tough as nails and can kick your butt and blow up your ship.. But,,,, the tougher the alien factions, the more valuable the loot. Some factions can be friendly and after doing a few jobs for them, they will open their stores up and trade with you. Some factions are extremely dangerous and will attack you on sight. Some factions space areas are pretty safe, some are extremely dangerous, some zones are even pvp. So pay attention. . Your relationships with the aliens in your world is 95% totally based on your own interactions with those aliens. If you attack them, be prepared for revenge. They will also send ships out and attack your base in return. Explore with caution because there WILL BE CONSEQUENCES. Good tutorials. It starts out easy and as you learn HOW to play the game, then gets progressively harder. As you progess, build better weapons and better ships so you can travel further, fight & raid tougher aliens, and gather higher end materials to build even better stuff. So you can ease into learning. This game can literally get as tough and technical as YOU want to make it. Or be as easy and relaxing as you make it. I highly recommend this game to all ages. AFTER 3880 hours, its still NOT boring and we are still learning and exploring.

By far the best space survival game ever made. Dont listen to all the hate. Ever since the game got to steam they've had 1 or more updates every single month or nearly every single month. They do not abandon their game And every time i come back to play again I'm amazed by the new experience And new things added

Horrible game pushed to release with missing functions, poor optimization and strange bugs. The game's feel has not changed since early access and the same bugs that have plagued the game since then are still there. They ran out of money and put out an equally unfinished DLC, relying on the community to fix their game. Save your money and play No Mans Sky (Who wouldve expected to hear THAT 10 years ago lol)

This game looks beautiful, but i cannot recommend it to anyone until they fix the Controller Mapping. Currently theres no internal way to rebind keys for the controller, and the default layout they have is horrible, RS to Jump, etc etc. If you feel like registry editing, you can map them out that way, but thats definitely not recommended. I got the game for a dollar so i cant complain too much.

This game is so close to being amazing. Unfortunately there are just too many bugs and balancing issues.

After 3000 hours in-game, I suppose it's time to leave a review. Here goes: Best game ever made. Flaws and all. There are few games that truly nail the joy of discovery, and Empyrion is just one of those rare & special once-in-a-lifetime titles that only an indy studio could create. Thanks Eleon, EGS multiplayer server community, & workshop creators for the many great times over the years.

Ich komme einfach nicht mehr rein ins Spiel. Ich meine nicht ein bug oder so sonder das gameplay, es ist alles so.... 2016 und das auf eine schlechte weise. ich mag die idee des spiels sehr und ich habe tolle momente damit gehabt! aber heute kann ich es nicht mehr empfehlen! Eleon Game Studios sollte noch mal neu anfangen, sei es mit einen teil 2 oder das ding Komplet neu aufrollen.
