    If you'd look up "grindfest" in, well, anything, you should see Everspace written allover. Because that's what it is. A tedious and enervating grind. From start to finish. Not that you will reach the finish. Ever. At first I thought it was me who was just bad at this game. But after dying numerous times, I'm certain it's the game that is broken.

From start to finish. Not that you will reach the finish. Ever. At first I thought it was me who was just bad at this game. But after dying numerous times, I'm certain it's the game that is broken. Now the idea of the game is that you should die plenty and often and that whatever little progress you made is carried over to your next spaceship. But that progress is negligible and you never get anywhere near a decent build. And the actions you take/perform are always the same. So those characteristics combined make it a very tedious grindfest that does not get you anywhere. Gameplay is a little more elaborate than what I've written here, but not much. The game is pretty, but in a sparse way. I wanted to like this game so much, but I cannot recommend this to anyone.… Expand

    A great game for neanderthals in between playing FIFA repeat-garbage and DarkSouls-it-must-be-good-cause-its hard genres. If you want monotony and difficulty, get outside and try deadlifting your daddy's pickup truck - at least then you'll get muscles and can have a chance to land a date rather than play this time vampire.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game loop is fly die loading screen buy meaningless upgrade repeat. Theres a very shallow story about unique clones. A very strange button format. It was a great idea for a game with stunning graphics but its just boring and repeative. The game also has a mocking attitude, actually numbering each ship with your total deaths and keeping track at the bottom of the upgrade screen. Super hard no deaths roguelike procedurally generated slop… Expand

    Everspace does so much right. It has an engaging story and immersive visuals that make you feel like you're in a Star Wars film and combat that always keeps you on the edge of your seat because even the weakest enemies can overwhelm you.

    While I can’t help but feel I’d rather boot up Steam and play my PC copy, Everspace still occupies a meaningful spot on any PS4 hard drive. It’s enough of a roguelite as to give people a taste of the wild side while not offending their modern sensibilities, and fans of the genre will find great creativity in applying the dungeon-crawling formula to the backdrop of outer space.

    If you can get past Everspace’s few flaws, a game that merges the best parts of roguelikes and space shooters exposes itself. The game manages to stand on its own as a unique entity within both the above genres, so Everspace should have no problem finding an audience in the sea of modern roguelikes and space shooters.
