Sandbox Survival Space Games

Started adding games I haven't played but look interesting and are worth keeping an eye on.

List of games that I've found that i hope will scratch my itch for space exploration, ship building, multiplayer, and survival all in one package. All these games have their pros and cons.

If you have any suggestions for me to check out, feel free to send me a message on any platform or leave a comment on this list :)
