After the many good reviews I saw on this game. I had no doubt in mind that it could be a great game to play and have a good time with. Alas, Everspace, even quite beautiful is just too repetitive and not in a good way.
First, let me say, the game looks great, some background are just beautiful and it has no technical issues. I played more than 5 hours and it plays smooth and not a single tech issue. The first fights are good and do gets better as you learn it and make your ship better. But after 3 hours, you do feel that you are just in a bad repetitive loop. Always the same ennemies, 2 spaceships, a drone, turrets and only a new interesting one added after about 5 hours of play.
This is such a missed opportunity. With a little more gameplay diversity: little missions in each area, better objectives, more diversity with ennemies. The game could have been really good.
I bought the game when it was on sales for $3, but even then I think there are better games on gog for that price. I think that I do understand now, why Everspace 2, left behind the game mechanic of the first one for a new one.
