Co-op games like Espace

Remember how replayable and tense Espace felt at its best? These co-op games could fill that gap nicely. Most of them work well for a shared session.

Starship EVO
Starship EVO strands you on a planet and asks you to mine, craft and build your way back to orbit. You shape starships brick by brick, wire up cockpits and turrets, then fly out to trade, fight pirates and clear a Stargate. Friend lobbies exist for shared building and exploring, though the store notes multiplayer still has issues.
