I started Everspace 2 deeply unsure about a space looter shooter. Tens of hours later I don’t want to play anything else. Everspace 2 is a towering achievement of space-based thrills and spills. It absolutely deserves your attention.

No foolin’, back in April of this year I reviewed the PC release of Everspace 2. Spoiler: It was a great sequel to one of my favorite games. The original Everspace in 2017 was a roguelike and had a fair amount of procedural generation. Everspace 2 jettisons that formula for something akin to a hack-and-slash RPG, with fast-moving spacecraft taking the place of terra firma-bound characters.

A phenomenal space combat game has a new sequel and although it's more structured, EVERSPACE 2 knocks it out of the stratosphere.

Everspace 2 brings gorgeously rendered ships and a middling story, but can't quite make up its mind about being a space sim or a loot shooter RPG. Visually impressive, narratively and mechanically constrained, it could have been so much better.

Despite the frustration of the level system, and the repetitiveness of some of the side content, I had a good time with the combat and flying at the heart of Everspace 2. This feels like a return to an older style of game, and I’d recommend it if you like spaceship games.

The original Everspace was a quirky and daring game in a genre that has remained stagnant since the 90’s. It was a looter shooter / roguelike space simulator. A hodgepodge of genres, but it worked. I really enjoyed it and played it across multiple platforms. It was my love for the original that made me skeptical of the genre pivot for the sequel, though. Instead of being a run-based roguelike, Everspace 2 is a traditional open-world space sim, just like Freelancer, Rebel Galaxy, Elite Dange...

Everspace 2 is a single-player flight sim that feels like The Witcher 3 in space.

Everspace 2 tells an interesting story in a massive galaxy that's worth exploring, even if the limitations of its scope creep in from time to time.

A classic arcade space shooter with an action RPG twist, Everspace 2 could have dropped out of a wormhole to the early noughties.

With fast paced frenetic combat, a story that keeps you guessing, and enough interlocked systems to bring it all together in a way the first game never could, Everspace 2 is the best space game I’ve played in a very long time. Rockfish reached for the stars, and damn if they didn’t catch ‘em!

Everspace 2 is a great game for those who enjoy space exploration and complex battle systems. The skill required during combat is fulfilling when done right, and punishingly brutal when not properly executed. However, those looking for an immersive story to slide into may want to consider a more RPG-drive title, as the narrative of Everspace 2 sometimes feels lacking or unpolished. It is a great way to lose track of time while piloting a ship, but not likely to replace any of the standouts in...

Some fans will surely miss the roguelike structure of the original, but for fans looking to further explore its world or to spend more time in the game’s splendid combat, Everspace 2 delivers in spades.

After a couple of years in early access, can Everspace 2 live up to its promise?

Everspace 2’s early access version is off to a great start, with enough mostly-polished content to allow for at least a dozen or so hours of gleeful blasting, puzzle-solving, and looting in space. Dropping its predecessor’s roguelike format feels like a good decision thanks to a promising story and a good amount of hand-built content. It’s just not all there yet, so when the story cuts off so does a lot of the motivation to continue. It’s definitely one to look forward to when it comes out of early access, which is currently planned for sometime in 2022.
