Early Access Review
Hello Stormworkers!

Thanks for reading my Review.

This is one of the best SANDBOX GAMES ive ever seen (Beside Brick Rigs)

Everything has been made so nice, the physics looks pretty realistic, the builds from the Stormworks Community is amazing, and it even has Multiplayer (even dedicated Servers).

Multiplayer is ok, we can play with 32 Players (incl. Host), but it can be really laggy, looks like the Multiplayer could still need some optimization.

The only thing i dont like so much is, that Damage is just shown as scratches, and nothing can fall apart or get a Hole inside the Hull, and that there are no bigger editors, for bigger vehicles.

But i still can recommend this game to everyone who like playing physic sandbox games.

Small Pro/Contra List:

Pro:

+Good Physics (less good for planes)
+Multiplayer (up to 32 Players with host)
+You can build everything you can imagine
+Has surrival, and advanced Technology and logic
+Great replayabillity
+Nice and active Community
+Developers wich listen to the Community
+Frequent updates and patches
+Nice and huge Map (now with arctic biom)
+Discord Server where you can meet the developers
+Bug Report and Feature Suggestion Tool is avaiable direct in the main Menu
+Physics Settings (High/Medium/Low) so you can run bigger or more Creations with better frames
(or less Ping/Lag)
+Has big possibilities
+Crash Report now for both Versions

Contra:

-Laggy Multiplayer (with multiple vehicles or bigger vehicles/structures)
-Some bugs (but sometimes really funny, like flying ships)
-Desync in MP but seems to be mostly fixed now
-Ping issues in MP sometimes
-Too small Editor space

One of the things, the game could need, is some more weather systems, like tornadoes, and some natural disasters, to bring a bit more action in the game.

Thanks again to all who read it completely till to the end.

Very big thanks to the Developer for the game and all their time and work, the Developers, the Community, and the Workshop Creators have invested, to make the Game like it is at the Moment, and i hope there is coming alot more Updates and stuff like that^^

Thanks, Time to update it though, its still on Arctic State, we've got 3 bigger/main islands now, Arctic, Sawyer and Arid Islands, every other Island is so small that thei're barely worth Mentioning, its the big Islands i spend most of my Stormworks Time on.
