A fine space romp, expanding its stature with an open world and loot system.

Stereotype-lite voice overs pull the story by the ear, all the while dogfighting and numbers-go-up mechanics remain to be the pilot of my attention. Breathtaking space vistas and effects are ready for a pc that can take them. Unfortunately, my aged pc cannot.

A fine space romp, expanding its stature with an open world and loot system.

Stereotype-lite voice overs pull the story by the ear, all the while dogfighting and numbers-go-up mechanics remain to be the pilot of my attention. Breathtaking space vistas and effects are ready for a pc that can take them. Unfortunately, my aged pc cannot.

It's accessible and ample enough without being overbearing. A solid choice to hover across space and time with until I'm ready to indulge in thicker atmosphere.

The demo is working on me. The first game grabbed my attention quite well.

Considering this is being toted as Diablo In Space, I am on the purchase event horizon.

Everspace 1 was slightly better, but this was good.

Played on Steam Deck

I really loved Everspace 1 and actually backed Everspace 2 on Kickstarter. Overall, though it is a really beautiful game with a great core loop, it does get old quickly and though the story is ok, the writing gets really bad in the later half. It drags on a bit at the end of the story …

I really loved Everspace 1 and actually backed Everspace 2 on Kickstarter. Overall, though it is a really beautiful game with a great core loop, it does get old quickly and though the story is ok, the writing gets really bad in the later half. It drags on a bit at the end of the story especially. I'm sure I'll bounce around and play a bit more here and there, but I don't think I'll put in much beyond the 31 hours it took me to play though this (meanderingly).

I like the arcadey feel of the ships. The derelict ships and asteroid areas help fill the void of space to make it more interesting. I like the fact they combined some puzzle mechanics, and gathering, alongside combat. There are a ton of upgrades and it is a bit much to sift through early on in the game.

Free on Game Pass so, why not?

Review V1CGaming 3/5 · Aug 28, 2023 Abandoned

It's okay, but nothing to write home about.

Main story is a straightforward "good vs bad". Main character comes with a somewhat interesting twist, all others don't have much depth. Ship handling and combat feel fine, ship upgrades are grind-based. And boy, there is a lot of grind intended. As you travel from A to B, you are constantly tempted by "unknown signals" and "distress calls", which lead …

Main story is a straightforward "good vs bad". Main character comes with a somewhat interesting twist, all others don't have much depth. Ship handling and combat feel fine, ship upgrades are grind-based. And boy, there is a lot of grind intended. As you travel from A to B, you are constantly tempted by "unknown signals" and "distress calls", which lead to procedurally generated encounters from a pretty small pool which gets old really fast. Yes, I mean the industry-standard "destroy base/outpost", "kill X bad guys".. does that really make the game bigger and better? I think not.

In the last third of the game that becomes even more obvious, as the game keeps taking you through rather long and boring flights from one gate to another. There are some fairly well-designed puzzles, wish their number was higher. I've done some light grinding, which yielded me 4 out of 6 unlocked ship perks and 1/6 in each ship upgrade category. I dread to think how much time is intended to max out everything.
