Bought it in 2016 and played a bit, and saw it had potential, but needed some more work. Joined again after latest large patch a few weeks back and it has come a long way. Sure it's not finished and has bugs, but overall it's well worth the 20 euro. I'm 100 hours in and can imagine i will spend atleast 100 more.
Off course it's not as polished as no mans sky for example, but that had a bumpy start too...

Empyrion has some interesting building mechanics with a lot of ways to customize your looks of bases, Hoverbikes, small and large space ships. If you love building there is a lot of good hours constructing things.

Pesonally i maded a small base in the beginning, but i suck at building nice things, so quickly vent into F2 mode and saw what was available in the factory and found some stuff i liked and started gathering the materials and now not to long after i got my first Capital vessel and can start to warp around to get the more precious materials.
Since i don't have mining laser on my vessels yet i mine manually, by flying close to the asteroids, jump out and let my drone mine with epic drill, and go back when i get to cold. Sometimes i bring lots of hot drinks to counter the cold, since i don't have the armor buffs found in this session yet.

Before that it was mostly the basics of a survival game. Gather stuff, create things, rinse repeat, explore and demolish crashed ships for their materials.
Doing the quest line is also somewhat fun. Not the most intriquing quests, but nice with the option to do different quest lines if you prefer that.

On the first moon i found some radar facilities with a lot of enemies, and got me an epic laser rifle and epic drill and after that mining became a lot easier.

If they continue to add more interesting stuff i can't see why i would spend a lot more time in here.
Not done yet, so now i will go in and search for new systems to explore :D
