Astroneer

Building and crafting

As an astronaut you explore colorful planets, reshape terrain like clay with your terrain tool, and build bases with automated production chains. A relaxed mix of discovery, gathering and tinkering, solo or in co-op.

No Man's Sky

Lots to discover

A near-infinite procedurally generated universe where you hop freely between vivid alien planets, gather resources, build bases and upgrade your ships. Years of free updates have turned it into a relaxed sci-fi sandbox with optional co-op.

Subnautica

Lots to discover

Stranded on an ocean planet, you dive ever deeper into a gorgeous yet terrifying alien sea. You build bases and submarines while piecing together the planet's mystery, and the dark depths themselves become the real source of dread.

Starbound

Building and crafting

A colorful 2D sandbox adventure where you hop between procedurally generated planets to mine, build, farm, found colonies and fight, solo or with friends. There is a main quest, but the real draw is the near-endless freedom of roaming the galaxy.

Space Engineers

Building and crafting

A physics-driven space sandbox where you engineer ships, stations and rovers block by block, mine asteroids and watch your creations get realistically torn apart. Its huge creative and technical freedom shines brightest with friends in co-op.

Satisfactory

Building and crafting

As a FICSIT Pioneer you build sprawling automated factories in first person on an alien planet. Designing efficient production chains in a beautiful open world, solo or in co-op, is deeply satisfying.

Avorion

Building and crafting

A procedurally generated space sandbox where you build modular ships block by block and push toward the galactic core as a trader, mercenary or explorer. Ship building and freedom of playstyle are the heart of the game.
