Empyrion Galactic Survival - Josie

This game is 9 years old and in many ways is superior to Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, No Man's Sky, and Starfield. Yes the graphics are dated but the gameplay is superior and amazing.
It is currently at $9 on steam.
For that you get:
1. Private game servers with adjustable conditions, (I turn off food and water because that is just annoying.)
2. Transitions to land, space and water.
3. Ship and base design and customization. Its simplified but enjoyable. Decisions matter so take your time in designing the ships.
4. Up and downloadable ship and bases blueprints. Share them with your friends. Improve them.
5. AI NPCs that are aggressive and intelligent.
6. Missions.
7. 22 thousand systems to explore with multiple varied alien races. Some nice, some not.
8. Space, land and sea mining.
9. Space, land and sea ship to ship and FPS combat.
10. Space, land and sea trade.
11. An in depth progressive skill tree over bases, and three different vehicle types.
12. Continued developer support.
13. Player mods.
14, You can fly down to a planet, moon or space station and walk around your ship.
15. You can loan your ship to a group and multi crew with it.
16. Animals, some nice, some not.
17, Each system has multiple planets, moons and asteroids with varied climate and gravity.

If this game were in Unreal 5, its all any space man or woman would ever want to play.

Most underappreciated game on Steam.
