EVERSPACE 2 Reviews
Everspace 2 is an excellent game filled to the brim with content. Regardless of your genre of choice, Everspace 2 will definitely have something for you, from a fun, lengthy story, to intense space combat, to an endgame fueled by the hunt for better loot.
Changing its style of play from what it was previously, EVERSPACE 2 delivers much more freedom to the player and improvements to the great gameplay it has. It still falls short in delivering a simplified and uninspired story and narrative, but it excels at good combat and exploration.

Don't mind me complaining about its monotony, a game with a similar sense of action and exploration comes along once in a blue moon. Fans of sci-fi set in space should not miss it.

Everspace II is a great trip to the stars and planets, where your spaceship really has a lot of uses. It manifests itself in combat, when completing tasks (sometimes with puzzle elements) and developing the story. It is massive, fun, you will spend dozens of hours exploring the corners of the universe.

Everspace 2 is a fine adventure, but, on the other hand, joy from its core gameplay dries up too quickly.

After a couple of years in early access, can Everspace 2 live up to its promise?
EVERSPACE 2 looks and plays amazingly with its intuitive and satisfying space combat and exploration. Even though it gets repetitive after a while, what's here still adds up to a special game that you'll gladly take off to the outer reaches of space for.
Already in Early Access, Everspace 2 offers great gameplay, a fun story and a beautiful space environment. If you're a fan of space shooters, RPGs and open world exploration, then this is the game for you.

Everspace 2 then is overall a competent space-combat based looter-shooter in the sheepskin of a space-combat sim. Come to it knowing what to expect and there’s a good few dozen hours of simple fun to be had, but I’m not convinced it has the systemic depth to truly rival either the looter-shooter or space-sim heavyweights on their own turf.
Everspace 2 is a solidly successful sequel, offering players more of what they loved from the first game while shifting away from the rogue-like trappings. The game provides a larger world with higher stakes, improved story, and more ship customization options.
Everspace 2 isn’t perfection, but much like your favorite kid, it doesn’t need to be. At the end of the day, it’s an enjoyable experience that will give back what you put into it.
This is a sequel that has truly outdone itself. While some fans may prefer the original rogue-like experience, this iteration delivers unparalleled performance and next-level immersion.
Everspace 2 does have some repetitive content and the story is a tad underwhelming, but the content loop is about as enjoyable as you’ll find anywhere with satisfying combat, thrilling exploration and discovery, and some intriguing puzzles to solve. It looks incredible, sounds wonderful and there are few space exploration games that are as approachable and engaging as this one, with even fewer able to cross genres so successfully.
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.
EVERSPACE 2 makes its appearance on next-generation consoles. The change in the game mechanics in this second installment to the detriment of the roguelike mechanics of the first game have given a clearly superior result, without detracting from the first installment. We have an addictive space shooter looter that without lacking some complexity, offers quite accessible arcade handling for any type of player. And if this still doesn't convince you, the audiovisual section will end up convincing you: Space has never been so beautiful.

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 the genre.
Endgame content in the form of Ancient Rifts open up to send waves of enemies at players who can unlock legendary weapons and gear with unique properties if skilled enough. Even when playing on Easy mode, missions can be difficult and often challenge players to readjust their approach to each battle with consideration. Taking on tough missions with a friend would be a satisfying addition to the game. Still, Everspace 2 contains enough gameplay variation and fun space combat to scratch the itch any wannabe pilots has been hoping to find in a sci-fi space shooter.
If you’re looking for another space-themed adventure game, do yourself a favor and check out Everspace 2. Jump into a new ship as Adam, the clone pilot, and soar among the stars of cluster 34. Take on as many jobs or as few as you wish, and find a place in the ocean of stars to call home.
Controls were tight, and the minute-to-minute gameplay just feels great and smooth. I could live without the loot system, but even then the worst crime it commits is being bland. It’s a good game, a very solid space sim. My issues stem from its failure to stand out.
EVERSPACE 2 had a bit of a rocky start just like its predecessor, but can still receive a standing ovation. With an incredible story, brilliant visuals and sound design, this game is very close to being a masterpiece. The only letdown is that travel in general seems slow for a game that’s supposed to be fast-paced, only time will tell if that changes or stays the same.
