Whilst I love Elite: Dangerous, it can get a bit mealy.
The third-person view of your spaceship puts the game in arcade territory rather than that of a simulator, and I’m happy with that. Some of these ports will have side-missions on offer.
#EVERSPACE 2 EARLY ACCESS PATCH#
There are also plenty of ports and bases that players can use to patch up their ships, restock and purchase equipment. Whilst there’s a good amount of combat, some missions are more like puzzles, with players exploring installations and wreckage, unlocking puzzles, and retrieving items. The game pacing is pretty good, with a nice mix of mission types. Then the controls become more akin to that of a regular shooter. Once there, activating cruise quickly gets you to where you want to go. It takes a little bit of time to travel to each new location, but nowhere near as long as it does in Elite: Dangerous. Locations are reached using the ship’s jump drive. The mission-based gameplay requires players to fly from location to location across large distances.
Really though, it’s neither of those open-ended games.Įarly access only gives players a slice of what the full game promises, but it’s still a vast part of space. For Everspace 2, developer Rockfish have embraced the genre to bring us what could be a spiritual successor to Freelancer.Įverspace 2 plays a bit like a less complex and more immediately rewarding Elite: Dangerous with the flight characteristics of a less pedantic No Man’s Sky. Whilst I found 2017’s Everspace fun to play, it wasn’t the open-world space game that I thought it would be. Whilst still only in early access, Everspace 2 is already shaping up to be so much more than its predecessor. Open-world space combat game, Everspace 2 is now in early access for PC on Steam.
