A fast, handcrafted open-world space shooter with looter-shooter hooks. The core is exhilarating dogfighting through asteroid fields and derelicts, wrapped in a loop of hunting better ships and gear and a more sincere story than expected across distinct star systems. Where many space games chase simulation, this one prioritises arcade-flavoured flight and combat feel.
Players praise the combat, visuals and sense of progression, while the recurring frictions are fussy inventory and upgrade management, some mission repetition, and storytelling that takes a back seat to loot. Rated Teen and available through PlayStation Plus Premium, it is the pick for players who want pure starfighter action and gear-chasing, rather than the open-ended sandbox or hard simulation other space games offer.
Single Player Only
Overall, player feedback for EVERSPACE™ 2 is polarized, with many players praising the game's compelling space combat mechanics and visuals, while others express significant frustration with inventory management, difficulty balancing, and repetitive gameplay. The game appears to be a hit among fans of arcade-style space shooters, yet it has drawn considerable criticism for certain design choices that some perceive as hindrances to enjoyment.
