Notes for you.
I have found myself spending many hours in this game, there is so much for you to explore and build. The multiplayer experience is very interesting, although you may struggle to find yourself some asteroids or stashes on public servers. There is a learning curve that comes with Avorion. If you enjoy any type of space travel you will surely find a love for this game. Building ships or stations can be overwhelming, although there is a very large community building and creating for the workshop. This allows the common player to have easy access for different ships.

It's easy to spend a lot of time in this game because it does have layers of grind. It's simple to create some ships with captains who you can send out and do most of the grinding for you. This allows you to focus on more important things while your crews collect and explore sectors. Be careful sending weak ships into unknown areas, if you do make sure your ship has insurance.

I have a love for this game that is very unmatched to most sandbox based games. If you find yourself involved with this amazing game feel free to add me and perhaps we can destroy some pirates together. There is much to learn and even more to conquer in the universes of Avorion. I plan to make more content about this game once I launch my own public server. Hope this reviews helps someone who might be curious about this game, it is truly worth every penny and I would recommend it to everyone who enjoys sandbox games.

Notes for you.

I want multiplayer.
Seriously. Been waiting years for multiplayer.

On a serious note though, it's a beautiful game. You can make your way through with any play style you desire. I haven't encountered any bugs lately even though they were a major issue in the beginning. Sometimes the physics are strange. That doesn't stop the enjoyment of slashing through enemies though.

I ran through this game and immediately started a new play through. The story line is great and I do enjoy how you interact with shops. Mods are awesome and so are the unique weapons to this game. If you haven't bought it I would recommend it. I pre-purchased and don't regret it. Certainly looking forward to multiplayer though. I'm sure there is much more to come from this franchise.

Payday has only gotten better over the years. Totally worth the buy, even all the DLC.
