Theres plenty about this game that I like and things I really respect like the bigger your ship the louder the hum it produces when close by it like the CIS ships in the Clone Wars. However there's a of things that prevent me from loving the game and in turn have me feel really fatigued to the point where its a slog to even try and get to the center of the galaxy which is the end goal. The phrase that best describes this game is its as wide as an ocean but as deep as a puddle, so if the building your own ship aspect doesn't appeal to you or you are indifferent to it then X4 is the better pick since this game is essentially build a "harder better faster stronger" ship and for that reason I also don't really want to compare it to X4 but I'm just saying that option is there. All that being said I got my moneys worth out of the game and I don't feel like I wasted it though maybe just my time I'll likely revisit this review to tidy it up and add more info
I've played this game on and off since beta and it's been a staple in my library if I need something relaxing and slow paced to play. This game does a lot of things right, but the story is garbage.. XD Luckily the game makes up for it by simply being really really fun to play, especially with friends. 8/10 game, here's to another thousand hours! PS: Please.. for the love of god.. Make operation Exodus less buggy.. >.< I always cheat the last beacon in, it's not worth it.
As someone who loves X4: Foundations, Elite Dangerous, Space Engineers, and even the empire-building chaos of Mount & Blade: Bannerlord, Avorion scratches a very specific itch in a way few games do. It blends space exploration, ship building, trading, combat, mining, fleet management, and faction warfare into one surprisingly deep sandbox. The ship-building system is flexible enough to let you create anything from a tiny mining craft to a massive battleship or carrier, while the galaxy itself gives you plenty of reasons to keep expanding, upgrading, and pushing deeper into more dangerous territory. What I really appreciate is how Avorion captures that same “build your own story” feeling that makes games like X4 and Bannerlord so addictive. You are not just following a linear path. You are growing from a small-time pilot into a fleet commander, industrialist, pirate hunter, trader, warlord, or whatever role you decide to carve out for yourself. It is not as simulation-heavy as Elite Dangerous, not as economy-focused as X4, and not as engineering-detailed as Space Engineers, but it pulls pieces from all of them and turns them into a very playable, rewarding space sandbox. The progression feels satisfying, the customization is excellent, and there is always another ship to build, sector to explore, resource to chase, or enemy to take down. For anyone who enjoys open-ended space games with construction, progression, combat, and empire-building, Avorion is absolutely worth playing.
A Mix of Minecraft meets EVE, but offline. Build your own ships from blocks, place the turrets where you want, Make your ship a massive battleship with 30 cannons, make it high tech and fast with a lot of shields for scouting, build carriers that release hundreds of customized drones that can shoot any weapon you can build in the game, design your own fighters for your carriers just like you design you own ship. Work your way to the center of the universe obtaining more advanced tech and materials to build your ships from. Start wars, end wars, take over the universe, the game is an absolute blast and I come back and play it fairly often and can easily sink hundreds of hours in to it. 10/10 all around. I would love to see a game like this, on a more modern system, I would likely not play much else for a very long time.
