Good ambiance with an appreciable lovecraftian touch. Functional game mechanics but minimalist at the same time. Short ! 6h35 to finish it in normal difficulty.
Nothing like Everspace 1, but as the title says not bad at all. It's a long game, time consuming, lot of grinding, finding componants, puzzle, exploration, ... interesting ships. Better characters than first one. A story diluted in the hours of figth, exploration and farming but it's the same with all 'open worlds'. You can feel a bit driven at beginning with all those icons everywhere on the screen but a lot of 'secrets' are well hidden, and won't be pointed to you. Everspace 2 is worth it's money.
I can't say I'm objective on this one : I'm a Mordheim player. I spent more time assembling, converting, sculpting and painting models than I spent on all video games I played. This video game is too far from the original board game in many aspects. If we always take our time on the board, talking, having a beer, here it's just way too slow. I appreciated the base camp gestion ( which exist for the board game ) and some other functionalities but limititations in warband creation and customisation, the quantity of character stats ( 3 times more than the board game), the combat system with lack of visibility, character turn based and not player turn based, reload each character bow/crossbow, etc It wouldn't have been a 'Mordheim' game, I wouldn't have bought it . Except for the visuals I didn't find Mordheim in there. If you like Mordheim, the board game, there is a good chance this video game isn't for you. I have similiar problems with necromunda and battlefleet gothic video games by the way, for similar reasons.
The order of dawn campaign isn't bad at all: as other said you can find all you expect from a RPG and a RTS. Aryn campaing can be good, you just have to restart a new char from 0... what a frustration. And for finish, the phoenix campaign is juste unplayable and boring aswell.
