Everspace 2 is still in its infancy. The lack of roguelike elements many have come to love from the original may be a step in the wrong direction for many fans. However, in their absence is a bigger, more exciting universe, a passionate story, and a thrilling adventure. I can’t wait to see what’s on the horizon for Everspace 2.

It looks like Everspace 2's decision to ditch its roguelike roots is paying off: what's here so far feels like the start of a great single-player action-RPG with more gameplay variety than you usually see in a space fighter game. [Early Access Score = 70]

Its accessible maneuverability, put at the service of a classic but efficient progression, will seduce the budding pilot left on the sidelines by the advanced simulations. [Early Access Review Score = 75]
