![]() ![]() As do, you’ll level up and be awarded stats upgrades and a personal perk every five levels. There’s also an experience system that you’ll fix by completing objectives and defeating enemies. Weapons and other helpful gear can be swapped, and you’re able to compare them to find out which piece is beneficial to you. I found a few of them that were floating around in space. Ship customization is also back, and you’re able to change your ship’s color, assuming you can find the paints needed, which are scattered throughout the universe. With these changes, the game is similar to that of StarLancer, Freelancer, or the Wing Commander titles from the past. Needless to say, if you were disappointed with the story of missions in the original game, you’re going to like what’s being done this time around. I haven’t finished up the story in the early access version, and I also don’t want to spoil what’s to come, so I’ll stop there. Unlike the first game, where the only companion you had was a quirky AI, you’ll encounter other NPCs and even partner up with many of them. Some jobs can be picked to make some extra money and challenges. Many of which provided me with a reward for doing so. I also found quite a bit of massive wrecked ships and space stations that begged to be explored. While there are the story missions that progress the game, there are also side quests that pop-up, or events that you’ll stumble into. There’s plenty to do this time around as well. Now the voiceovers are much better, with actual human voices, and I feel that it does a respectable job. If you played the prior demo, it is completely different as that had robotic placeholders.

Especially still, there times when you can bite off more than you should have, resulting in a swift death. There’s no more starting over, which was something that really put me off with the original game. When you die, you’ll start back at the last autosave point, or if you checked a manual save. I also didn’t miss the roguelike elements I’m glad it’s gone as it makes the game more enjoyable. With Everspace 2, I enjoyed the story from the start and appreciated the number of missions and side quests that would pop-up when I was exploring. It’s a change I was happy to see as the first game didn’t hold my interest. Everspace 2 drops the roguelike elements and expands focuses on the story from the game’s start. The first Everspace game was a roguelike that eventually led to a short story. However, it’s from a different build of the game and is lacking. There’s a demo available on Steam if you don’t feel like dropping the cash. 18th, 2021, for both Steam and GOG, priced at $39.99. For everyone else, the title will be available on Jan. Before I go into my impressions of Everspace 2’s early access, I want to thank Rockfish Games for providing us with early access.
