Is like strike suit meets FTL

Is a fun rogue-like but it still have a sense of progression (you can spend upgrades after you doing but not during your jouney) and a story that isn't that bad. The problem of many rogue-like games is the reliance on chances (%) for something to happen like you hitting an enemy ship or dodging a shot, which can cause players to get frustated. In everspace if you die is mostly because you did something wrong or were just unlucky in the sense you : didn't got good weapons or the game just decided to throw a fricking cruiser to ruin your day. It can be fun without casuing too much frustation to the player. The things I didn't like: No radar. There are indicators for enemies for it would be nice to have a radar that indicates if there's an object (such as an asteroid) near you and inform you the distance and direction. It seems stupid that humanity developed ships without any sort of radar. Only 4 ships to play: I wish there were more or there were the option to go frankeinstein mode an create your own ship. Overall not a bad game but I do think it's worth to wait to get it on sale + DLC, just don't buy the deluxe edition as it only adds soundtrack + wallpapers (ripoff)

Just one more jump...

Everspace has me hooked. The game is beautiful and the gameplay is so smooth. I successfully completed my 5th run (on easy) so it is definately accessible in its current state. I am looking forward to tackling normal because I have died pretty early in the few normal runs I attempted so I know there is still plenty of challenge to be had.

Much more fun than I expected

Everspace is hard to learn and hard to master. The basic instructions from your AI are far away from sufficiant. But once you learn how to dodge you will be able to even succeed against a Corvette, some say you can do it without a scratch - but I'm not good enough to reproduce. You can upgrade your ship before each run. The amount of credits available depends on your previous run, so keep an eye on that. In the beginning you don't gain a lot, but later you can extract about 20k per run, and the better you perform the more you might aquire. When you die, your run ends and you only keep the perks and the Credits you had left before death. There also is a sotry, but I wasn't able to see alot about it yet. It seems to be interesting though, and I've a wild guess how it might conclude. You will learn parts of the story by continuing to a higher chapter and some encounters you've had will affect the story in some way. An additional factor that makes Everspace interesting are the various hazards that occur, each with different effects on you. Be cautious. So I've already had some fun and probably will have futer fun time with this game. Enjoy it!

Surprisingly fun

I gotta admit, it's fun. For those people who expect winning to be handed to them in a pretty package...they hate this game. Why? Because it's hard. REALLY hard. But, unlike other games...dying doesn't make you start over...well...sort of. Yeah, you do start over, but you get to use the cash you collected to upgrade your ship(s) before you head out again. Then, you get a little better at piloting, and your ship is a bit more durable, etc...and it's a bit more fun...and so on. If you can't handle losing, then just give up now because you a'ready can't handle this. For everyone else, this game is awesome. If I were to boil it down into a simple description, I would say it is like a throwback to the old arcade-style games where it is all about the action...but with a BUNCH of extra perks added in to make it even more interesting. And of course, the visuals are amazing. I have been enjoying it so much that I went ahead and bought the "Encounters" DLC. I meant to play for an hour or so...I just realized I have been at it for about 11 hours. In short, if you like the old Privateer space game (or similar games to it) and you liked it mainly for the space battles (who doesn't), then you will enjoy this game.

A good "comfort" game

Pretty visuals, a trivial, but present story, decent handling on the ship and guns, a decent arsenal on consumables and active/passive devices... It's not perfect, but it's a very good game for when you don't want to get invested in a long RPG and simply want to kill some baddies and get a sense of progression. With a bit of practice you start reliably winning the game (won my 12-th playthrough and every game since). A single run will cost you 2-2,5h if you absolutely need to explore each sector and kill every enemy, probably 30-ish minutes if you get the equipment you need, then rush for the finish line. Also a quick tip: play scout with the cloaking device loadout, it's awesome.
