I enjoyed it very much.
I have played this game on my PS3 years ago, I have also bought it on steam, before they took it down due to some song copyright. I'm not gonna buy it again, but I will happily write a review for it! Has it fun gameplay? I'd say yes. Has it meaningful choices? Yup. Different playstyles? Yep. Potential for decent roleplaying? Yep. Is it perfect? No. Is it still worth buying? Absolutely yes.
I love rogue-likes, and I love Everspace. Although buying the DLC "Encounters" is mandatory, seriously just get it along with the base game. The gameplay is fast-paced the dogfights are fun, the visuals are stunning, I love the sarcastic and cynical board-computer HIVE. The story is meh ,but who palys a rogue-like for the story anyways? It's overall a great game, although there are some aspects with room for improvement. This game could use more weapons and ship designs. Also the way progression is in this game is not as fulfilling as it could be. The only ressource that really matters overall are credits. Everything else is lost on death and just useful for the current run. It can feel like a shore to fly around collecting all these ressources to hopefully craft an upgrade when it can be lost all in an unlucky encounter. Where this game shines though are the fights. if the devs make another DLC which adds more weapons and ships and somewhat rework the whole progression system to make collected ressoruces a bit more valuable this would be a solid 5/5
