I have played pretty much all of the recent 'sandbox block builders' like Terraria, Starbound, Edge of Space, Windforge, Asteria, Signs of Life, etc and I find Darkout to be the most enjoyable Single Player experience yet.

25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As you can see from a single player experience there is a strong push towards a slightly more immersive style gameplay both in terms of crafting, exploration, and moment to moment combat in the darkness.
