7 Days to Die or Empyrion?

Empyrion gets my vote. It's just awesome, and getting better with every update. (=

Space Engi, I could never get into for some reason.. I suppose I loved the survival aspect from Empy along with some other neat mechanics that SE lacked which can or cannot be there now

I own 7DTD as well, but never really get around to playing it. Perhaps I'll put this game on my soon to play list

7 Days to Die is a flat out LIE!! Only took me 7 minutes and I was a goner :P

I cant say much about Empyrion but played 7D2D a lot with some friends. The developer fixing bugs and exploits very quick and the game for itself is getting better with every patch. At the moment we are waiting vor Alpha 16 but its quite a lot of fun after every patch for 20-30 hours. I mean if you played it for 100 hours its a kind of boring, because you know the mechanics, the technics and what to do very fast. So the advantage for yourself is annyoing after some time. But with every patch, as I said before, it starts to become funny because the differences and new features are amazing. If you have ppl who play it with you, you can also go and crash a pvp server. Was fun too!

First of all Space engineers is nothing like empyrion at all, space engineers is more centered about building and mechanics etc and empyrion more like survival.

I would vote for 7 days to die, I have played this game alot and enjoyed every second of it. The game made alot of progress lately, and seems to be probably the best survival-craft game i have ever played in my opinion. (also the community is way bigger than empyrion)

I think it all goes to personal perferences, if you like some mechanics and survival in space etc and being able to go to other planets.. go for empyrion.
If you really like in depth survival in an abadoned world with zombies.. go for 7 days to die.

empyrion seems like a nice game to make a giveaway 💜

Havent played Empyrion but it looks cool.

7 days to die is a great game and getting better all the time.

It is especially a lot of fun if you get a few people to play with you, build a base and cool monuments or just explore and kill zombies in fun ways.

423h in 7DtD and counting here. 95% of those spent either playing it solo or in co-op with my mate. Avoiding multiplayer for the reasons you mentioned, horde spawning simply doesn't work correctly there so basicly it's all abount wandering and looting in a world with almost no zomboids or PVP with very limited numbers of players on the server. Devs focus their work on single player/co-op and PS port now. Speaking about single player mode it gives you all you need for enjoyable zombie apocalypse survival experience. Crafting and basebuilding is only limited by your creativity and access to resources. Zombie hordes are serious threat with increasing numbers and special zombie types assaulting your base as you proceed week by week. World random generation was also vastly improved in current patches, biomes and climate conditions are way more natural with more realistic transitions between eachother (no more silly sudden desert into snow switch). It's all up to you if you decide to build a stronghold in a place that suits you most or keep exploring as much land as you can with a network of smaller defensive outposts. If you decide to pick this one you can always hit me up for some introduction or advice on Steam.

I've played both and I prefer 7 days, but I was hooked into that game long before Empyrion came out.
They fixed the horde spawning issue in the last patch so now everyone gets their own day 7 horde which will also take into account the size of the group your in. Day 2000+ hordes take a good minute to 'clean up'.
