seems like a cool game, but i can't deal with another generic military man main character
It starts with promise but it turns dull and boring fairly quickly. Side quests and challenges are repetitive at criminal offense level - boring again. Overall, keep your distance and stay away—and I mean galaxy-far away!
could be a great game but totally failed because of those stupid "puzzles"!
At first u will find these puzzles only in side missions, but later u must solve them even in main missions.
It is fine if u wanna add some RPG elements in this type of game but still those puzzles are not even "rpg", not for the players of Freelancer/ GOF/ Everspace, it's just not for me... come on, get ur battle ships, fly over deep space, leveling up, achieve more powerful weapons, shoot through the f*cking universe, that's it!
Rockfish wants u to dig into caves, go through tiny pipes flying mini androids , move energy balls between doors inside wrecks, search space garbage to find a "clue"... u CAN do that in a 3D space adventure (shooting!) game, but not so MANY and so ANNOYING as in this game!
I'm so disappointed as i spent over 100 hours on it and now wanna quit it anytime...
Awesome space flight sim, although I burned out fairly fast doing repetitive open world tasks, I know some enjoy the nature of finding new areas to solve the same kind of puzzles in ad infinitum.
while space fights are fun, it gets repetitive quickly. Also, the worst parts are the puzzles I didn't ask for. I expected a space fighter sim like wing commander. I got puzzles I didn't want.
Regardless of being silly like most space games, it's an enjoyable romp.
Just don't take any of it seriously -- it's not reality.
Neither was StarWars after all. Yet we all lowed it regardless didn't we!
A solid SDOF space fighter game that surpasses the original in every way. Unfortunately the game runs out of progression about 2/3rds of the way through the story but it's worth playing all the way through.
A solid space shooter ruined by story, grind, and puzzles.
The good:
* Combat. It's fun - stuff explodes, you get better loot, so stuff explodes faster, enemies get stronger again, rinse and repeat.
The bad:
* Story. Boring and cringey. All characters are one-dimensional and you don't care for them one bit.
The ugly:
* Puzzles. People in the future have decided to store their stuff in locked chests in the outer space. These chests can be unlocked by shooting lights (in the correct order) and finding power sources / orbs scattered in the vast space around. This horrendous security choice gets old pretty quickly.
* Grind & Time-wasting travel. Traveling in the space is slow. Luckily you can unlock fast-travel - by doing challenges (see "puzzles" and "combat") that require A LOT of slow traveling. Fast-traveling unlocked, hooray! ... Oh wait, you've entered a new solar system - the fast-travel no longer works. Guess what? Yes, more slow traveling and challenges.
Closing words:
We still miss you, Jun'ko Zane.
Very well implemented, interesting, and fun.
Lots of hours of content. I have now 15 hours and I'm still discovering the first part of the map.
The amount of loading screens could be reduced, and the missions could be less repetitive... but it's ok.
Simple mechanics, ok story. Good distraction/game.
TL;DR: It's good, use flight sticks if you have them. 8/10
This was probably one of the hardest games for me to get into initially, but once I did it was a lot of fun. Playing with Mouse and Keyboard is a bit clunky so I would suggest using a controller or if you have them, flight sticks. The game is arcade-ish but that doesn't take away from the fun of it, as once I used my flight sticks the game really opened up to just how fun it can be. A side note though, a friend of mine who likes pedals as well can't use them without third party programs.
The story is very short, to the point where you can reach the 4th quarter of the story by level 15 if you just rush the story missions. With Max level being 30 this can make things frustrating, so do some side missions and Mission Decoders. The story itself isn't too crazy, it's interesting enough that I didn't skip the voiced cut scenes. I wouldn't expect it to win any awards either.
Some Helpful advice, if you can find Mission Decoder items do them immediately. A lot of gear can be earned from these and they give a lot of EXP. Unknown Signals are also a good source of EXP, Items, and Resources. Make sure to do them from time to time. Try to get at least a Green Grade ship from the shipyard before going to the Union, I would even say to buy a second type of ship to upgrade along with your primary ship. I've wasted a lot of time and money on switching from Gunship to Interceptor to Vanguard and back.
Finally, Endgame is a bit grindy. If you enjoy just flying around and shooting down other ships, endgame should be fun for you. You can run decoder missions, incursions, and do the games rogue like arena missions. There's quite a few legendaries to collect, and ship customization to unlock to make your perfect space ship.
Overall I think the game is really good, well worth the price and if you can get it on sale too it should be a no brainer.
8/10
I was a bit uncertain at the start. However, having played thoroughly through this game i can honestly say it is now one of my favorite games and will return back to.
Pacing
Going from the demo to the actual game felt really nice. In the demo, you get to explore the first sector of the first system and have full reign to get a feel for the game. Once you get the game, you kick start from where ever you left off in the demo and are able to play through the story. As for the story, I will say i was thrown for a curve ball having read a bit of the lore you get access to which didnt make much sense up until the BIG problem became clear. I will say the writing for the very end is a bit cliche but for the introduction of all the characters and how they were developed and side quests building on the world was relieving to see. Rarely do i see side quests in games build on the world.
Gameplay
This is not a true flight sim and that's perfectly okay. I was told early one that it was uncomfortable for flight sim people because the ship doesnt re-balance but with a space ship game i fail to see the need for that all the time. There is no true right side up all the time so the idea of rebalancing yourself "right side up" is more so hoping that your crosshairs recenter and your ship levels out to that position. I get why people would be picky about that but I didn't find it to be a huge deal. The combat is space dogfights with your ship type and armaments dictating how you fight. The simplified dmg types allow you to not have to forcefully mid max your stats or find every collectable for a small incremental boost in power. If you are put off by the small weapon selection, know that weapons firing patterns change drastically depending on the version you get them in. Named weapons, and weapon modifiers alter weapons and sometimes you may not like how a weapon performs regularly up until you get a different version of it. This concept allows one weapon to have many variations which helped relieve my anxiety since I do like weapon variations.
I don't know what else to comment on. It was just a fun solid game and i had little to know issues with it. Outside of the cliche ish ending, the jobs where you need to find a cargo container that is hidden were a bit obnoxious. Besides that, I liked everything else. I have not played the DLC but i dont think i will seeing as the reviews say its a crappy buggy mess, but I have interest in what else the dev team decide to make.
quite fun. tickles a bit of the Freelancer urges, but is by no means better. There's no real choices in factions to side with, there's very few wingman missions or even cruising in a group together, much of the gameplay loop is quite repetitive.
Good bones, but could've been much much better.
Where do I begin.
A Sick Loop in Space
I played this when it was in early access in game pass back when legendaries weren't a thing. I think I clocked around 85 hours or so there, and purchased a steam copy since steam gets the "legendaries" update first. I estimate an extra 30 hours of offline playtime here on steam that's not logged into my total hours. I restarted the campaign on steam though since I would've jumped through hoops to continue my game pass play through. Maybe a majority of the time spent was on doing maps (a-la path of exile), exploring or just flying about, and eventually doing rifts when I decided to continue on with the story. But combat is extremely fun, and it's what actually what made me lose track of the story progress.. You can think of it as diablo in space or something, and it's done well. So well that I got stuck in an addicting loop of just doing maps, bounties, contracts, answering distress calls, and checking out new ships being sold in "town" [in Prescott, I think?] and selling all the crap my tractor cannon picked up. Hell, I didn't even know there was a final tier of ships that could be unlocked until my final 10 hours of my game time. That was a neat surprise. The Rifts that got unlocked after I finished the story were a blast to farm as well!
Half a Sim
This game started off as a mix of diablo and skyrim, with a bit of cowboy bebop sprinkled on top. There's loot, plenty of enemies to shoot at, and some pretty neat exploring all while -personally- roleplaying as spike taking on bounties and contracts. This game eventually got me into trying out a dual stick setup with a couple of logitech 3d extreme pros, but eventually convinced me to get a couple of vkb glads both with omni throttle setups to feel like I'm piloting Spike's ship from the anime. Practical? nah. Fun? Hell yeah. I played this with both MKB and HOSAS, and it's definitely way harder with dual stick controls, especially on the hardest difficulty. But dang, if you have a couple of sticks, this game is begging you to use them due to the extensive control customization! Definitely one of the best control options in a lot of space games I've played. You can bind an alternate button to functions. You can bind conflicting buttons to multiple functions. You can bind modifiers to add to buttons as well. There's deadzone adjustments to every axis, not to mention sensitivity values. Hell, you can even combine keyboard or controller presses with your sticks if you want. and I cannot stress enough how fun this arcadey game feels with the inertia dampeners turned off. And hoo boy, the moment they added the option to "press inertia dampeners" instead of toggle made it so that it felt like a brake button was just icing on the cake. It's not a full on sim experience, but you can configure it to be a bit more of a hybrid of sorts, and I love it. It's just superb.
Dakka Dakka
And dear god, the ships and the weapons! I started off maining the device-oriented lightweight that kinda looks kind of like Faye's ship, which I thought was pretty OP and cool at the same time. Later on, I fell in love with the heavy gunship with all its... well, guns. 4 Autocannons ftw! Eventually, I switched on over to the bomber when legendaries started dropping. Gotta love that multi-missile launcher! And you can equip multiple copies of them that it's stupid! and with the intuitive control customization, it's a breeze to cycle between them. Damn, that's a fun time.
Man, I really want to thank the devs for this game. Looking forward to your next release/DLC.
The passion that went into this-
Just, thanks, Rockfish.
I've been interested in this game ever since I kept confusing the series with Endless Space, and I've enjoyed every moment of it.
This game may have very positive reviews, but looking at the achievements, by act 2, only about 20% of players remain. This game isn't for everyone, even if you like this type of game.
The story is atrocious, and the main character is just awful. The loading screens are terrible. You'll have a loading screen to jump into hyperspace. Hyperspace itself is basically a loading screen (you can't really do anything here other than select a destination and wait to get there) then another loading screen for your destination. Depending on your pc, these loading screens could take 1-2 minutes each. Meaning, you have to just sit there and wait about 5 minutes between actual stuff happening every time. Oh, and if you are going to another star system, that's 2 more loading screens on top of the rest. It really takes you out of the game.
If you can deal with all of this, then the actual gameplay and combat is very fun. The ships are interesting and fun to play. I recommend having a movie or something ready you can watch in between areas. It pains me to recommend this, as I'm a very story driven person, but you may want to consider just skipping the story entirely. It's that bad imo. The gameplay is great, so, I'm still giving this game a positive review.
It's Not Wing Commander Privateer but it's as close we are probably ever going to get.
Graphics are good
Story good
Customize good
Combat gets stale once your ship is upgraded
Hopefully they make a Everspace 3 with more trading options and bigger universe a true Privateer game
Diablo meets Spaceships-shooter-like and brought a decent story with them.
I like the gameplay, the diversity of weapons ans skills. Nothing uber-creative things, but they ambitions are well implemented. I can recommend this hidden pearl and hope, we will se Everspace 3.
TLDR: Pretty but boring
The Good:
- The graphics are amazing...the game is a desktop background generator
- The controls are fluid and easy to learn
- The combat is good and fast paced while needing some strategy to win
- The UI is intuitive
The Bad:
- The gameplay is very repetitive. The puzzles are all the same. Find source, find receptor, plug one into the other. The hardest part of the puzzles is simply finding the elements.
- The ships feel 'slow'. Exploring gets VERY tedious.
- The Story is VERY boring and generic. no life to the narration. i found myself skipping dialog because I simply didn't care.
- I cannot get immersed in the world. It's big with a lot of 'stuff' but there's almost no personality at all.
- upgrading the ship is underwhelming. Once you've discovered the base components the rest of the game is finding the same components and guns over and over again but with bigger numbers. no new guns of abilities to help you feel progress.
- the ships, aside from the 3 types (fast, med, slow) all feel the same. Again, you get a new ship but it feels the same as the old ship just with bigger numbers.
- as you progress the enemies get stronger. Since you never get anything 'new' the game never feels like it changes. You get bigger numbers, then the enemies get bigger numbers to cancel it out.
To be clear. I WANT to like this game. I love everything about the concept. I'm loved this type of game since back when I first played Wing Commander Privateer but each day i play this game and just found it boring. Mission after mission, area and area, i played waiting for the hook...but nothing.
Maybe i'm missing something but i played 24 hours and still haven't found anything worth staying for.
If you're looking for a game that is easy to pick up and play, has fun and addictive game play without any catches or steep learning curve, and you're into sci-fi/space but also not in the mood for all the baggage of a sim... this game is very much for you!
It's better than first game in pretty much every regard, didn't have any crashes or bugs, well optimized - not too many games like that these times. If You like space looter shooters with some puzzles (there is story and side missions too) it's a decent game to play. See You in space!
I really thought a long time about wether I would give this game a positive or a negative review. Well as you can tell I ended up with a negative review and I'll try to explain my thought process along the way.
First thing to know is that I'm pre-occupied by a lot of GOF2 game time and I will often draw comparisons between these games since this is basically a spiritual successor, a true GOF 3 that never happened (Manticore doesn't count), by some of the same devs that previously worked at Fishlabs.
Because of that I immediately want to say Everspace 2 is not a bad game in itself, but it could not live up to the expectations I had hoped to be fulfilled. In my defense the price tag played a somewhat significant role for that conclusion (at the time 50 bucks, I bought it on sale for 20 bucks). GOF2 itself was free, on Android at least, with 2 DLCs being around 20 bucks together iirc.
And after a long introduction, I'll try to get to the point:
Gameplay:
Here you can definitley tell it's a successor to GOF2 which is a good thing. An arcade space looter shooter which I would mostly deem positive. A thing I wanted to specifically mention was ship customization. It's absolutely awesome although they kind of made it necessary because a lot of the ships just look bad without some body changes.
Negative exceptions are for example all the powerups which are bound from the getgo from 1-8 and I have not in my playtime found a better keybind to bind them to. To be more clear, you either aim your ship with the arrow keys or the mouse (I went with the mouse since it makes aiming a lot easier) and manuever it with WASD. Apart from the keys 1,2 and 3 I always have to let go of wasd or my mouse and that is fatal imo. GOF2 was simpler yet more effective in a regard that effects were triggered passively without any input.
The so called mining mechanic is a huge step downward. Now you shoot mining spots to collect ore which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. In GOF2 you actually had to drill the asteroid for ore, as compensation there were a lot of asteroids in each system to mine.
Travelling in one system was also rather annoying because you would just sit there and wait to arrive at your destination, GOF2 would just throw you into the orbit of a planet (again simpler, but more effective). The random distress calls etc. that would pop up every. single. time. got more annoying than fun quickly too.
Story:
I'll keep this one short without spoilers. It was meh. Elek was a character with actual personality, although on the verge of being too annoying. We never got to know any of the characters good enough to really play a major role. Adam, the main protagonist, was ok, I noticed some resemblances to Keith in GOF2 although it didn't convince me in the end.
I wasn't a major fan of the motion picture cutscenes and would have preferred pre-rendered full motion scenes although I understand it was done to cut costs.
It doesn't really have any replay value and I didn't even bother with all the side quests and location objectives since these got repetitive quickly.
All in all if I recap the whole GOF2 storyline including DLCs it was more fun, characters like Carla, Khador, Alice, Erkkt Uggut or even Trunt Harval were all unique and played a role in how each story and quest would turn out in the end.
Music and Soundeffects:
Even shorter: Ok at best honestly, not very memorable. No overly dramatic and intense music like in GOF2 when the cloaked Specters would hunt you in the Supernova DLC, no tense and unsettling music like in the Valkyrie orbit, no futuristic sci fi sound feeling like in the Kothar or Thynome system. Might be because there were barely any special enemies you had to fight, just the factions.
Soundeffects as a quick and only example like when you're jumping with a gate seem underwhelming. Might be personal opinion but when you're jumping it really has to make a racket, it just feels cooler.
Graphics:
Also short: Looks good, but not good enough for the performance required. For reference I used a 3070 with max settings except the ray tracing which was set to SSGI and the effects on high as explosions would totally kill fps in close ups. I could not get stable 120fps in 1080p. A fps lock slider would have been beneficial instead of fps lock presets (had to go with 75fps).
Items:
I was not a fan of the whole item system. The level system rendered really good items you got useless after some leveling, especially ones you only get from a certain quest. Really good items didn't drop often as well either. GOF2 handled it better with the most elite items being sold by characters on the Kaamo Club. The rest was just RNG on where and when you found it, but once you did and had the credits to buy them, it never rendered useless.
I also thought having fixed slots for boost, shield etc. was a downgrade as in GOF2 you could do whatever you wanted with the slots the ship had. There were a bunch more slots because you could equip passive modules like storage extenders or shield drains etc. etc that this game does not offer.
I might add some more catgeories as time goes along.
All in all I was a bit disappointed having played GOF2 for so long previously. Everspace 2 is not a bad game, but it didn't live up to my personal expectations, especially not for 50 bucks, even 20 bucks is a bit of a stretch. I had more fun for a longer play time for less money in other games.
Now if you haven't played GOF2 so far, you can probably have more fun in this game than me, but make sure to buy it on sale.
And don't get me wrong, I'm hoping to see this game franchise do good. Maybe the next title will be a step up. I would also gladly give more info if any of the employees are looking for more detailed feedback to this game or next releases.
This is very much a space game that has a 5 hour of game mechanics,
20 hour exploration and 30 hour campaign. I find myself thoroughly enjoying exploring new locations, but not much else.
Freelancer but single player only and with a diablo-esque loot system - fantastic game with lots of nice exploration/puzzle side components for when you want a break from the action.
Best looter shooter in space I have ever played. Incursion is fun but it's a shame how late into the game they introduced it.
I really wanted to like Everspace 2, but it just didnt click for me. The game feels shallow in a lot of ways. For example, you never see ships docking or undocking, which might not sound like a big deal, but it makes the world feel kind of lifeless. There’s no real sense of being part of a living, breathing universe it’s just... there.
The gameplay loop is where it really falls flat. You’re basically doing the same thing over and over—fight, loot, upgrade, repeat. It gets old fast, and there’s not much variety to keep it interesting.
The one thing that kept me going was the story. It’s decent, and I wanted to see where it went, but honestly, without that, I don’t think I would’ve stuck wth it.
Simple but great combat loop. Puzzles often require some thought and good eyes.
Fantastic gameplay loop. Explore space better than StarField. Combat is fun and you can use the various environments to your advantage so you break up being ganged up on by enemies. And the story is entertaining enough to keep driving your progress.
Works extremely well on Steam Deck too!
I grabbed this game on sale because I have fond memories of Star Fox 64. Dogfighting is fun, upgrading your ship feels great when you go wipe out a group of bad guys that destroyed you previously, all in all a very fun game. Also, it runs fantastic even on my lame iMac. It looks great and never slows down which makes the dogfights all the more exciting. Grab a copy!
I've never played Everspace, but this second iteration is a fun arcade space shooter with trading elements reminiscent of Wing Commander: Privateer or Freelancer. There are elements that remind me of the Descent / Freespace series as well. The loading screens during flight sequences are very immersion breaking and this was a problem for me with Starfield as well -- I was spoiled playing No Man's Sky. Everspace2 doesn't have the depth and weirdness of No Man's Sky and is nowhere near as technical as Elite Dangerous, but it does support HOTAS and is worth your time.
It's really fun to turn off the inertia dampeners and NYOOOM around shooting things Tokyo drift style in space.
Plenty of upgrades to keep you interested.
Story is pretty good so far, characters are likable and VA is up to par. Presentation is unique in that it's a real time slideshow of paintings for the cutscenes - like ten or twelve per minute.
Balance is a little off, enemies frequently spawn directly in range and facing you from off-screen and will wail on you before you have any chance of reacting, which can be frustrating.
Gameplay itself is a hoot and requires use of the environment for cover, which is really fun and dynamic with 6 axes and rotation to play with.
I'm planning on finishing this one.
Recommend.
Remind me of the excitement when I play GoF2 back in the days, for the open-world, space scenes, different ships, and all kinds of weapons.
I had a completely different review, and I've modified it like this:
I still cannot recommend this game, though it's not as bad as I first believed, it still suffers from a host of issues, primary in my mind is the lack of a THROTTLE. If you release the forward movement, your ship stops. Further, the ship is ungodly slow, requiring a constant use of the Cruise or Afterburner to get anywhere. (these aren't X-Wings or Terran Space Superiority fighters from X-Beyond the Frontier0. This is a space shoot-em up along the lines of Freelancer, without the stilted dialogue or the fun voice over work of Bruce Campbell in Tachyon: The Fringe. At least those games had speed matching or a throttle.
My previous review talked about wave attacks, and that still stands. It's pretty easy to get stuck inside a furball and get annihilated by swarming drones and light fighters, forcing one to kite, kill, grab a couple more, kite and kill, rinse and repeat. While combat is fun, for the most part, it's the most tiresome and tedious part of this game.
So, if this game is on sale, like when I bought it, you may find it of value. If not, there are other things that can occupy your time and feel a greater sense of accomplishment.
Really enjoying the game, it follows in the classic space adventure that have fallen out of flavour with rise of MMO. Their is a lot of hour to explore this large universe the gave is set in.
i would recommend this to any space game fan
Played for a while, was having fun, kinda (really want a new good sci-fi game)...
But you never end up feeling strong. Enemies are always going to have you running away and getting back in (if you can even do that) unless you play some of the more op ships ("then play the op ship classes?"... so don't play anything else in the game? ok).
Enemy levels scale so you never really feel much of a difference when you level (except that enemies get stronger and stronger).
The enemies also maneuver like crazy, so if you bring one of them low health they suddenly go "gas gas gas" and start avoiding most of your shots easily... But when you try to do something similar (up close) they nail you like perfect little aimbots.
I am a HUGE sci-fi game fan and played games like EVE online, Elite Dangerous, Avorion, etc... A LOT
This game looks good (mostly) and sometimes plays good but overall it is quite mediocre. The combat never really feels good, and i'm already 18 hours in... And for the love of god don't ever take people who say "it gets good after 20/30/40 hours" seriously, for any game... Those people usually have fallen deep DEEP into the sunk cost fallacy
Don't even get me started on ressource gathering and "puzzle" solving. The first is a chore and the second isn't hard in any way at all... but MAN is it absolutely tedious
A lot of the ship skins look plain ugly and you need RNG to get the ones you like (on my current favorite ship i've unlocked a grand total of 1 customization option... but i've gotten a lot for other classes).
Also ships in shops are f***ing RNG. You want a specific passive? Well better hope the shops have the ones you want or keep coming back to them everytime they refresh their stock... This is not a fun mechanic, it's a dumb one. And sure people will say you can minimize RNG much later by investing in upgrades, but this isn't like you're getting huge amounts of drops limiting the impact of bad RNG... here you need to come back and check what they have in stock again and again until you get those upgrades.
This is not fun RNG implementation, it is garbage RNG to make the game feel longer and deeper.
EDIT: played a bit more and forgot to mention how the dogfights feel like dog shit... why? Because you need to avoid dogfights and keep doing the same boring crap of kiting enemies while boosting backwards in a corkscrew patern (by spinning on yourself as you go backwards)... why do it this way? so you don't get nailed by every single enemy ship at once with near 100% accuracy while they zip and move around at lightspeed (seriously, when some enemies are badly damaged they will maneuver like absolutely crazy as they regen).
This game is unfun and the reason so many people are singing it praises is because of how pathetically starved we all are for some good sci-fi ship combat games... Seriously, there aren't a ton so we act like starved wild dogs in front of a stale raw steak
My only complaint is that coil guns act like pulse lasers and vice versa. Otherwise excellent experience. If you want space combat, but good: get this.
Reminiscent of privateer and wing commander with a touch of gameboy to genesis shmups like nemesis and xenon. Quality stuff right here. Worthy of full price.
There is horrible screen jerking every like five to ten seconds that completely ruins the smooth flying experience. There is also a terrible sound popping noise like a record skipping every few seconds. I thought it was just me but I checked the forums and I am not the only one with these issues. When a game I buy on steam has issues like this which are virtually unfixable, I don't even entertain the possibility of keeping them.
Too bad because it seemed like an alright game.
Easy to pick up and put down at the drop of a hat. Fun gameplay, fun story. My only complaint is there is no couch co-op or multiplayer.
Wow! A hidden gem! Found this game just scrolling through the games on sale. Tried out the demo and loved it! I really have like 6+ hours played with the 4 hours I spent in the demo as I carried over my progress.
It's a great combo of arcade space combat and in depth ARPG mechanics (think Star Wars Battlefront Ship Combat and Diablo style loot/skill trees). Easy to learn controls (playing on xbox controller), great loot system with tons of different weapons and ship upgrades. They give you a home base with AI partners that provide you with perks. Tons of random events/vendors while exploring the galaxy and everything is rewarded for your efforts.
Game runs fantastic and looks great as I am playing 1440p ultrawide @ 90FPS locked with everything on High settings on my 3070. Story is pretty basic and has a comic animation style with decent voice acting but the gameplay and cool open world locations are the real star here as exploring is well rewarded and I LOVE the environmental puzzles.
Music is pretty good too as I like how it opens up during the warp drive sequences when fast traveling. Overall if you enjoy action combat and/or ARPG's. This is prob the best 20$ you can spend today...
Everything I wanted out of a sequel. Not worth 60, but definitely a must-buy when on sale.
Ok, Issue was NOT with the game, it was my antivirus software blocking parts of the game.
GAME IS A BLAST! Definitely worthy of purchase.
Hey, are you at all interested in this game? Then buy it. It's better than the first one in every way. Get it on sale, 60% off is a steal. Very fun. Looks Beautiful if you have the computer.
good space game and cant wait for the new everspace 3
They took everything that was good about Everspace and made it bigger and more impressive. Lots of ships, lots of combat, an open world. The same morally-dubious but inoffensive characters and generally well-meaning protagonist. I've played it like crazy for days now, there's a lot of stuff I haven't seen or unlocked yet. Really good job on this one, and I haven't touched the DLC yet.
Shallow, grindy gameplay coupled with an entirely mediocre story and writing. Characters are incredibly cliche to the point that I have to wonder if their lines were written by AI. Not a lot of actual variation to the ships, just a basic set of archetypes whose increasing stats are gated by price. You can get better levels of gear to do a little changing of how you use the ships but it ultimately doesn't matter much. How well you can fly and shoot has virtually zero bearing on the gameplay; the autoaim on enemies is such that any fight is just a race of damage numbers versus defense numbers. Enemy a couple levels higher than you? You die. Anything lower? You win.
Once you've played the first ten hours, you've played everything the game offers. The numbers get higher but the gameplay doesn't change. If you can get this for less than half the full price, yeah, maybe worth the money. Otherwise, ludicrously overpriced for the middling quality and terribly repetitive combat.
Best spaceship combat game I have played in a hella long time. Good old arcade style, where I don't need to worry about it trying to be a sim and pressing every single button in existence just to learn how to take off.
This is probably one of the best Space Shooters I've played in a long, long time.
It has its ups and its downs, but I feel like this is a HUGE step forward from Everspace 1. And I'm very glad for it. I especially enjoyed how the developers explained Everspace 1 through the events of Everspace 2.
Very enjoyable.
Ambitious, raw and one of the best modern re-imaginations of Freelancer, i have ever experienced
Just finished Everspace 2 and I have to leave a huge thumb's up review, because this it's amazing how much love the devs have poured into the AA gem. It shines in its every aspect, from the stunning visuals and carefully crafted world buiding to the smallest UI detail or hidden piece of dialogue. Level design especially is top-notch, for a game with so much exploration and puzzles, they still managed to keep it enticing until the end.
Is the game pure arcade space opera fun with no regards whatsoever for realism and science? Sure, and the game self-consciously pokes fun at himself for it. Does it have flaws? Of course: unbalanced mechanics, odd RPG mechanics duct-taped to a spaceship shooter, campy (yet engaging) story, some not very well-thought out challenges...
But in the grand scheme of things, these don't matter a bit compared to how much fun and side content this title holds. And I have only played the campaign, but with the end-game rifts and so on, it looks like you could easily spend dozens of hours more if Diablo-like quests for legendary loot is your jam.
If you are not looking for a space simulation, but can enjoy an arcade space shooter with a big heart, top-notch graphics and voice acting but not an ounce of the greedy manipulative engagement mechanics found in AAA games these days, I would highly recommend giving Everspace 2 a chance (PS: I didn't not play the first one - some story references went over my head but that was not a hindrance by any means).
Very fun, arcadey 6DOF shooter so if you're looking for sim based space games this ain't it. It does have "flight assist off" but I rarely used it to be honest. Freelancer and diablo vibes. Surprisingly engaging story and side quests as well; though it's not going to get any writing awards.
Has some of the best environment design I've ever seen, the use of volumetric cloud effects is insane.
