Osiris: New Dawn (v0.5.616)

Humanity’s foothold in the Gliese 581 system feels fragile, and that vulnerability gives Osiris: New Dawn its identity. Set in 2078, this open-world sci-fi survival adventure sends players across hostile planets, moons, underground tunnels, and the emptiness between them in search of a livable future. Its alien landscapes are beautiful in a harsh, lonely way: crimson deserts, poisonous storms, strange wildlife, and dark cave networks constantly remind you that a spacesuit is the thin line between progress and disaster. The mood sits somewhere between grounded space-colony fiction and creature-filled frontier horror.

Survival begins with the basics: gathering minerals, managing oxygen and food, crafting equipment, and turning a small landing site into a functioning outpost. Players build habitats, storage, power infrastructure, laboratories, defenses, and vehicles, while fabricating better tools and weapons to handle increasingly dangerous expeditions. Combat is real-time and often scrappy, with alien creatures and environmental threats making preparation as important as aim. Spaceships expand the loop considerably, letting you launch from a planet, enter orbit, and travel between celestial bodies without repeatedly cutting away to loading screens; cooperative multiplayer also lets a crew divide the labor of construction, scouting, mining, and defense.

What separates Osiris: New Dawn from many planetbound crafting games is its ambition to make an entire solar system feel like one connected survival space. Colonization is more than placing a few walls: each new location demands fresh resources, secure shelter, and a plan for surviving its particular hazards. The technology-heavy building system, drivable vehicles, and freedom to establish bases across multiple worlds make it a natural fit for players who enjoy the long-term projects of No Man’s Sky, Astroneer, or Subnautica, but want a tougher and more combat-oriented tone. Newcomers should expect some complexity and occasional rough edges, while veteran survival-crafting players will find the greatest appeal in its large-scale base building and interplanetary exploration.
