Played it a lot, but never got around to writing a review for it. In short: One of the best space sandbox games I've ever played. Incredibly deep, addicting and well made. Runs like butter, looks and sounds super cool, UI and UX is incredible. Workshop support makes all of it even better. Can be a bit daunting to get into, so my tips for getting started: - Download as many ship designs from the workshop as you can. You don't have to build everything yourself. - Build the simplest ship preset with 1-3 slots, dump some mining turrets on it and just mine for the first hour. Sell much of your ores. - Use the money and resources to build a reasonable combat ship with lots of defense. - Combat is the quickest way to gathering lots of modules. - Only sell absolute junk modules. Your inventory is unlimited, keep the rest. - Whenever you can, hire captains. Use them to automate simple mining boats all over the universe. Once you've done this for like 10-20 hrs and you have decent amounts of green/blue ores, you might feel like you're underway nicely. Then you realize you've barely started, and it only becomes more fun.

Avorion delivers incredible block-based shipbuilding across a massive procedurally generated galaxy of 1 million sectors. The modular construction system brilliantly integrates functional ship systems such as crew quarters, cargo blocks, and power management that creates realistic energy constraints without limiting creative freedom. Co-op multiplayer makes the game really fun but requires server setup and workarounds to spawn together. PvP feels underdeveloped, performance suffers in late-game, and material grinding limits early ship designs unless you play creative mode. With active ongoing development and a small but dedicated community, it offers excellent value for creative builders, especially during frequent 50% sales.

Avorion: Build Your Dream Ship, Then Watch It Explode Review: After 800 hours in Avorion, I can say it’s less of a game and more of a galaxy-wide experiment in how much chaos you can manage before something (or everything) explodes. One moment, you’re peacefully building the sleekest ship you’ve ever designed. The next, pirates show up, and your “ masterpiece ” is now a floating pile of debris . This game will test your creativity, your patience, and your ability to laugh at your inevitable disasters. Pros: [*] Shipbuilding: The possibilities are endless. Want a war machine? A flying toaster? Both are valid. Either way, it’ll probably explode. [*] Exploration: A massive galaxy filled with treasures, traps, and factions who seem to hate you for existing. [*] Combat: Space battles that make you feel unstoppable— until an asteroid stops you. [*] Trading: Buy low, sell high, and pray pirates don’t tax you with lasers. Cons: [*] Learning Curve: The tutorial teaches you how to build a ship but doesn’t prepare you for why you’ll need a backup. [*] Crew Management: Your crew will abandon ship if you forget to pay them, making you wonder who’s really in charge. [*] Time Warp: Start playing at 8 p.m., and the next thing you know, it’s sunrise. Final Thoughts: Avorion isn’t just about winning—it’s about failing spectacularly, laughing at your mistakes, and coming back for more. It’s the perfect mix of creativity and chaos, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Rating: 9/10 – "Exploded twice. Still smiling :)" Note: No spacefaring whales were harmed in the making of this review.
