  1. I'm missing two of the most spacey and buildy games out there: Space Engineers and Empyrion: Galactic Survival

    I'd rather play these two than most of the featured games in the vid 😜

  2. Dude where is Star Citizen in this list?
    Say what you want finished or not it’s by far the most immersive space game I’ve ever played.

  3. Rogue trader is hands down my favorite space game

  4. I would like to add Star Trek Armada – basically Age of Empires but with Star Trek ship battles

  5. while empyrion is not the budget or quality of mass effect it really should be on this list as a space builder same with space engineers

  6. Is there an Option to have jake removed from the Team? Or at least step back from the voice overs?

  7. Shame you didnt include X4 in this video

  8. I'm a fan of games like Empyrion Galactic Survival and Avorion. Both are voxel type building, crafting, empire building games with an emphasis on building and exploration. They are from smaller studios admittedly. Frankly, I am shocked you didn't mean the "X" series. X4 Foundations is a great game

  9. Hem…………..AH—he—hem.

    Star Citizen??

  10. You left the best game out, Elite Dangerous….best game of all 07

  11. I started playing Elite Dangerous and I seem to just get lost in what to do…. There is very little guidance and I've gotten stuck in outerspace several times….

  12. How can you make a video like this and NOT have The X series? X4 is a Godsend of a game.

  13. Such a strong endorsement for Outer Wilds! I’m going to buy it from PSN right now since it’s on sale! I was aware of it but not 100% convinced

  14. Good, No Man's Sky deserves this spot.

  15. Weirdly, I thought you'd have mentioned Space Engineers here also. It's surprisingly still getting updates and is on console and PC. Otherwise, damn good list! 🤙

  16. I love how starfield makes folk react with either visceral hate or passionate love.

  17. What about Empyrion: Galactic Survival??

  18. Starfield is absolute trash
    These guys have not made a good game in years

  19. My favorite is Star Trek Online. I play it constantly.

  20. I'm so happy No Man's Sky is being recognized after the amazing work they've put in. I was expecting it to be lower down but when I didn't see it until number 2, I hoped it was number 1. And it was.

    If it wasn't on the list, I would have been pissed

  21. The Galaxy On Fire series for mobile devices was amazing, specifically Galaxy On Fire 2

  22. Can I also suggest Rebel Galaxy Outlaw? It's not as big as some of the other games on this list but it's pretty enjoyable as a space outlaw type game

  23. Yeah they did an amazing job at making NMS an awesome game.

  24. It's a travesty Astroneer isn't higher on the list, it's brilliant and REALLY in depth once you get into it

  25. No Man’s Sky has TWO HUGE things that keep me from enjoying it.

    1. The Devs refuse to give us a fully functioning, zero limitations, and full control of Ship Building.

    I want them to go through every S-Tier Game that has a Open Sandbox/Free Building whether it’s a Space Game or not and take the best parts from each one and use it as inspiration to give us the best building experience possible.

    2. They need to create a Modding API like Bethesda that way we can get better MODS, Script Extenders, and ETC so we can actually add stuff to Games.

    Whole modding NMS isn’t bad by any means there’s limitations like adding ships just overwrites vanilla ones.

    Bonus

    This is to add on top of issue #1. In addition to a real ship building feature because they promised years ago to add, yet never did (The current ship building feature is not what we asked for) is I want:

    – Ability to Build a Space Station in anywhere in space we’d like.

    – the ship size we should be allowed to build, manage, and fly should be as big as the Capital Ships.

  26. Empyrion Galactic Survival is a great game has base building ship building and can explore thousands of planets with seemless space to ground transition lots of bases, trading, and mining. Really fun game.

  27. Never thought I would see no man’s sky at the top. Gives me hope for the next game coming up.

  28. Huge disappointment to not see Space Engineers on this list.

  29. Starfield is very good, definitely got dog piled on.
