    I liked EVERSPACE, it has good graphics despite, not so fast on my PC.
    I liked the exploration at any stage, flight coud be tho sometimes and combat mechanics didn't feel perfect or smooth but fun afterall , the devices and weapons are just great... but there are couple of things in it which I really don't like.

    1. The permanent upgrades you get after each death.

    I would MUCH prefer a system which would allow me to upgrade my ship as I go along, during a single run so that I have to improve to face the final boss over time, rather than one which makes the game progressively easier every time I play it, so that, in the end I more or less make it by default.

    Yes, I could up the difficulty, but that's not the same, because it's not about making the game harder, it's about the sense of accomplishment which the current system removes. I'd like to start off being bad at the game at one difficulty level and then master it, feel I have improved and then, possibly, up the difficulty level and try to master that.

    Rather than being a reward, I feel that every upgrade I apply robs me of more and more of that sense of achievement I might have had when finally winning the game.

    2. The inventory [and now I discover weapon selection shortcuts] pause the game.

    I can't count the number of times this has saved my life, I get to consider the situation, manufacture and use consumables, all in my own time, no pressure, no stress, easy! But I still don't like it. It breaks immersion, lessens the impact of the action and generally slows things down.

    I'd much prefer a set of effective keyboard shortcuts which allowed me to use ships systems, devices, weapons etc more effectively in real time than anything that paused the game. I could always retreat to a safe space to manufacture components if required.

    afterall is a good game and worth the shot at least a try before to buy it.    … Expand

    It is alright, though the story is not as captivating as other games in the same style, such as Freespace 2 or Starlancer.
    The lack of a radar on a flight/space simulator seems dumb, and the fact that you don't have much to work with in the beginning makes the game far more challenging than enjoyable. Since you have no means to fight the game is frustrating, and when you can fight back,    It is alright, though the story is not as captivating as other games in the same style, such as Freespace 2 or Starlancer.

    One more average game on a over-saturated market with a lot of promises
    Wouldn't say a waste of time, though also wouldn't spend more than 4-5 hours playing this.    … Expand

    No esta tan mal, es bastante bueno pero tampoco es que destaque en nada. Lo que hace lo hace bien pero no llega a sobresalir en ningún apartado

    Everspace is one of the best space combat games on the market today. It's fun, beautiful, and a blast to play.

    Everspace looks charming, but after 2-3 hours even these beautiful space vistas and intense dogfights will tire you out. Problem is, the whole game is just it: you kill AI enemies and collect their loot.

    This might be the prettiest space shooter I’ve ever seen, but it suffers from little variety of enemies. [08/2017, p.60]
