Early Access Review
What is Avorion?
Typical space-themed sandbox. Explore the galaxy, gather resources, fight bad guys, build stuff.

What is good in Avorion?
- Focus on interaction with galaxy instead of shipbuilding
- Developers are communicating with the community
- No serious bugs (despite me playing on the beta branch)
- Good soundtrack
- At least basic storyline, many space sandbox games simply dump you into the world without any explainations

What is bad in Avorion?
- Faction wars are just like "spawn 8 ships here and let them try to destroy this station for several hours until they are killed by another random group of ships".
- "Civil ships" logic is broken, they can attack you but you can't attack them (without getting a penalty for destroying civil ships, of course).
- I have noticed several visual glitches.
- The balance needs to be tweaked in some places.

Instead of conclusion
Avorion have a lot of potential to become an amazing game.

I'm recommending you to try this game just because of this. However note that Avorion is in "early access", so not everything is 100% ready. As early access note says: buy only if you want to follow development process and participate in it (as a tester).
