Kenshi vs Space Engineers
Kenshi
Kenshi is an open world, semi-sandbox, party-based RPG that offers players an completely open-ended gameplay rather than opting to force players to go through a storyline. You can be anyone you like in this game, be it an honest trader, an adventurer, a bandit or others. Scavenge important resources, including weapons and armor, from corpses and use them for your own. Recruit new companions from towns, build an outpost of your own, and grow it to accomodate more of your companions. Of course, as your little town thrives, bandits and jealous rivals will attack you and you'll need to make sure all your people have what they need to defend the town and repel the invaders.Sounds like fun? Well, it definitely is. However, Kenshi, being a pretty ambitious early access game, does have it fair share of flaws. The game still has plenty of glitches still and can be really hard to get into, especially at the beginning of the game where you literally have no idea what you need to do.
That said, the game is very unique because it has a pretty rare theme and its gameplay - a combination of party-based survival/ base building - is also oddly rare among the other games on the market. So, you might want to check this game out.
Space Engineers
Space Engineers is an absolutely brilliant and incredibly in-depth sandbox game where you can build your space colony from the ground up, explore space and planets via open-world creative mode, survival mode or scenario-based campaigns, or enjoy some simple fun with other players its other multiplayer-oriented game modes like its racing game mode or its MMO shooter “capture the flag”-style mode.To sum it up, Space Engineers is truly a masterpiece of a very ambitious game especially considering its humble indie roots. The game seems to be a fun hybrid of Everspace, Minecraft, and Satisfactory, all of which are games that I’ve greatly enjoyed. However, I’d like to reiterate that playing the game in multiplayer mode with your friends is the way to go since single-player mode can feel rather boring.
All in all, this is the space game that players have always wanted… no, hungered for. If you liked what you’ve read, be sure to check the game out on Steam and maybe give the game a shot!
