MYTHIC GAMERS
PC GAMING
THROUGH THE NON-MMO LOOKING GLASS
Criteria
Our criteria for our next non-MMO game choice is based on the following:
online multiplayer co-op – three plus
PC, and hopefully Mac
Cooperative PvE, with some consensual PvP
Minimum of fuss to get on and play on game night (drop in, drop out)
Minimal hassle with different character levels
Ok with instancing to avoid jerks and asshats
Getting burnt out on Eastern developers
Prefer to avoid the shooter zero sum – the chaotic every-man-for-himself, shoot, get killed, shoot, get killed
Relatively recent graphics
Avoid build and defend PvP games
Avoid games that require hardcore play style and time in order to reach end game content, seek out games that support casual play

Difference between Empyrion and Osiris is that Empyrion builds with blocks, while Osiris builds with complete units. In Empyrion, you build a base and vehicles with blocks made from materials, whereas Osiris builds the base and vehicles as one unit from materials.
