Everspace 2 by Mischief Maker 04/12/2023, 7:21pm PDT



Still in the early missions, and my review is still pretty much the same as my impressions at EA launch. This is Everspace 1 with several QoL improvements and a bunch of handcrafted levels.

What I didn't realize at the time was that it still spits up random maps ala. Everspace 1 as side missions that pop up as blips while you're traveling through hyperspace ala. Rebel Galaxy 1.

Once I turned off SSGI, the game ran butter-smooth, even while zooming at top speed through complex capital ship wrecks. Holy shit this game is even prettier than its predecessor.

One thing that may be an annoyance in the future is there does seem to be level-scaling, and as I slaughter my way through pirates with my Everspace 1-sharpened skills my equipment is constantly falling behind in levels.

And just to be crystal clear, this is an open world ARPG now, NOT a roguelite. Death means reloading your last save, not unlocking perks before starting fresh anymore.

It's probably the prettiest space game around at the moment. Recommended, even though it ain't cheap.
