You’ll even meet some friends along the way. Each path is viable, and all of them help push the single-player narrative forward. There are several core elements that quickly emerge in Everspace 2: exploration, mining, building your ship, solving environmental puzzles, taking down pirates and snagging their ill-gotten gains, or even becoming a pirate yourself. How you get that done, however, is up to you. As you can see in the first 15+ minutes of the game, you find yourself on the ragged edge of the universe having to rebuild your ship, base, and resources while on the run.
If you enjoyed Wing Commander: Privateer and Privateer 2: The Darkening, you might find yourself simply drifting around hunting down pirates and scoring resources - this game is already hitting all the right notes, and being an open world, the choice is yours.Īt its heart, Everspace 2 is an open world looter-shooter RPG, and there are plenty of core elements to back up my claim. In point of fact, there are easily two dozen hours of gameplay offered here. On January 18th, Everspace 2 will come to Early Access, but don’t let that give you the impression that it’s a collection of early concepts without a focus. I’ve recently gotten my hands on a pre-Early Access version of the game and am happy to report that, with more than a year’s development ahead of the Rockfish Games team, Everspace 2 is already shaping up to be exactly what I hoped it could be. Sequel to Everspace, obviously, this one looks to take a completely fresh vector for the series, moving away from the roguelike approach of its predecessor and towards a single-player story-driven experience. As we move into a second space game renaissance, we’ve finally gotten our hands on one of my most anticipated: Everspace 2.
It was soon after that the darkness came, bringing multiplayer-focused games devoid of story and game companies declared that “nobody was interested in space games.” Well, they couldn’t be more wrong. Once upon a time, in a galaxy not that far away, space games were prevalent, and life was good.
