Made to have fun.
Everspace has some nice stories to tell and really good progression and crafting systems, but mostly the game is not about those. It is about dogfighting, where it combines the best of the 90th flight arcades' mechanics (space, air, underground or underwater - it doesn't matter). In this game, you fight everything from the little drones to large capital ships, and the large arsenal of very different weapons and devices makes it surprisingly addictive. The gameplay is pretty much straightforward - get from point A to point B (or die trying) through a chain of random locations, some of which are worth exploring for the hidden goods (and minor tasks like saving a transport ship, eliminating a criminal or retrieving a lost cargo), the other are worth escaping - yet trust me, you don't need anything else here as, again, what other excuse do you need to test your flying skills? To make things fair, many things like your "credits" (used to both trade and upgrade your ship) and abilities to craft specific weapons and other goods remain should you die so your next attempt will be somewhat easier. In short, if you both miss the flight arcades and want a game meant for you to finally have some simple fun without anything to annoy you, I'd recommend to give Everspace a try. From the technical side, the game is well optimized and maintains high framerates on pretty modest systems. p.s. To me, the music definitely deserved the FLAC version.
