“Aviassembly is one of those fun mind numbing games, something you play while you have a video on the background. It features a decent varaity in different styles of planes which you have to go through, and its well…”
“Playing this with my 8 year old son, it's a fun little game. Physics is a little limited if you want to do aerial tricks, but building the aircraft part is solid fun. It's like a lite version of Kerbal Space Program for…”
“I really wanted to like this one, and I hate leaving negative reviews. My only point of contention is that Physics has been so simplified for accessibility that it struggles to retain relevance. I suppose that may be a…”

“its great, missions are challenging, flying is fun, building is fun, going mach 3 while transporting 25 tons of lead is also fun”
“It's the perfect balance between barrier of entry and flexibility. What a blast. Nice to see that extending the campaign length is on the (very concrete and promising) roadmap. It's less of a sim than e.g., SimplePlanes…”
“Love the game! Cant wait for the added campaign lenght and i hope there will be some more hard achievements added to the game, as i realy enjoyed the struggle of the wood propeller campaign run!”

“8/10 I've played the game since demo. Simple but entertaining. Physics are decent, and story is mid, but the sandbox is great. Runs great. Would recommend, especially as the price tag is great.”
“This is probably one of the best aviation-related games under $15. Never let the art style deceive you, it is a great simulator. I can confidently say that this is one of the best Steam games I've played in the 2 years…”

“This was a great game, cant wait till more content comes out. I has similar upgrade mechanics to Dredge.”
“This game is amazing, and one of the few that I have spent the time to 100% all the achivements. Please if you like constructing planes, and failing along the way, give this a try.”
“You get the turboprop and the pivot joint and the game is OVER”

“i reccomend this game since you can build your dream plane and beyond. i only wish you could choose certain buttons for the air brakes.”
“Pretty good very annoying at times and doesn't really help when things go wrong. Fragile items break way to easy and the wasd plus q/e movement is annoying”
“very uneventful ending , grind is fun and somewhat relaxing but the building system and the movement is choppy”
