   After more than 200hrs of gameplay I must say that EVERSPACE 2 is a masterpiece than no other. Early reviews with less than 50hrs of gameplayAfter more than 200hrs of gameplay I must say that EVERSPACE 2 is a masterpiece than no other. Early reviews with less than 50hrs of gameplay did injustice to the game since they did not even toughed to the slightest the variety and depth of gameplay of this sandbox unique space themed game. Played with an Xbox type controller Logitech F710 for PC (recommended way to play using an Xbox type controller is by reducing the moving sensitivity of the controller sticks to the bare minimum).… Expand

   The controls handle well. The loot system is pretty good and not overwhelming. There are definite end game challenges if you so wish. The voice acting is pretty good, though the story is not that interesting. Diverse and pretty environments and visuals.
   
   Took me about 95 hours to 100% it and maybe 45 hours to complete the story and some other stuff along the way.
   
   Great visuals, that ran pretty well on my old 1080ti at 3440x1440. I even used the photo mode and used those images to make some pretty rad desktop wallpapers.… Expand

   Took me minute to get the controls adjusted (i.e. mouse movement speed, dead zone), but once I did, flying felt amazing. Navigating aroundTook me minute to get the controls adjusted (i.e. mouse movement speed, dead zone), but once I did, flying felt amazing. Navigating around can sometimes be a little disorientating, but that's not a shortcoming of the game. Instead, it's a side effect of being able to move and rotate any which way you want. Fortunately, hud icons marking enemies/items/points-of-interest help.
   
   Combat is also great. Different weapons feel distinct, and are good for different situations (i.e. close or long range combat). Can also equip your ships with additional active abilities, which are sure to suit different play styles. Can modulate difficulty through a difficulty slider, aim-assist slider, and through doing some extra grinding.
   
   RPG mechanics are limited solely to progression. So, don't expect choice when it comes to dialogue or solving quests. There are, however, several different ways to progress (i.e. ships, equipment, companion perks, main character perks, upgrading active abilities).
   
   The main gameplay loop involves traveling somewhere for a mission, killing enemies, completing the quest, and then exploring around for all the goodies that are scattered about. There are also light puzzle elements tied to accessing some of the loot (i.e. destroying shield generators to get past a shield, or providing power to a doohicky so that doors will open).
   
   Nothing particularly intriguing or compelling when it comes to story, dialogue, and characters, but it's serviceable. The voice acting is solid though.
   
   Haven't beat the game yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if I hit 100 hours of play time before seeing the credits roll.
   
   Oh, do note that it's not a true open world. It has "lily pads," and what is essentially an immersive world map. Like, instead of just selecting areas on a world map to travel to, or walking an avatar across a world map, you're transitioned to a 3d world map, that is graphically indistinguishable from the lily pads, that you can fly around in. It's a neat trick, which was executed well. (Hopefully that all made sense).
   
   No lootboxes or other microtransaction BS.
   
   I have quibbles with certain things (like mining with guns, and the sound effects that accompany it), but none of that is getting in the way of my fun. It's a good game, and I definitely recommend it for guys who like space combat, exploration, and progression systems.… Expand

This was not at all the case. The combat was even smoother than the first, and the story was quite strong and kept the pace at a healthy speed, the enemy difficulty did have some challenging moments but in the end, it was a great time. The fact that it was in early access for so long did wonders for it in the end.… Expand

   Good 60h space ARPG with beautiful graphics, responsive controls, hit-or-miss soundscape and okay story. The core gameplay is a mixture ofGood 60h space ARPG with beautiful graphics, responsive controls, hit-or-miss soundscape and okay story. The core gameplay is a mixture of intense space combat and relaxed container puzzles and that combination works really well. It's a real pleasure to maneuver your ship through tight spaces.
   
   But at the fringes the game shows it's only a double-A title. Especially the trading and faction mechanics are very shallow. The way the story is rushed to the end, how repetetive encounters can become, how similar all of the loot is and how rarely legendaries drop really made me just want to finish it off. You get to open Diablo-inspired rifts, but only after the story is done, at which point I did not really care anymore. Unfortunately, the soundtrack is ridiculously bad.
   
   Be aware that this is one of the most performance hungry titles currently out there.… Expand
