It can look a little goofy but I found rare moments like that mildly endearing. There are some in-engine which gives the odd visual of two ships trying to act. Animated cutscenes offer some detailed imagery but it’s at odds with how you spend the entirety of the game in your ship. Unfortunately, it’s told in a jarring manner. Adam is certainly not an unknown quantity and it’s nice to see that history be drip-fed throughout the course of the story. I didn’t dig into the original but there is some intrigue from the surrounding cast. It’s a bit of a cheap conceit but having a clone protagonist does allow for a blank slate. The story places you in the hands of Adam, a clone pilot who is out to find his fortune in a war-torn universe. Already well received by the PC crowd, the Playstation 5 has it’s chance to experience an impressive space combat shooter. Everspace 2 is the new effort from Rockfish Games. ![]() ![]() Maybe they’re too big for comfort but I’m now in a position to have them thrust upon me. Plenty of games have aimed to capture a fraction of it but I’ve tended to give them a miss. Something to get you hooked before moving to those more hardcore games.Augin PS5 / Reviews tagged clone pilot / combat / courier / dogfighting / everspace 2 / Gear / lasers / loot / racing / rockfish games / space shooter by Mike Especially those new to games.Įverspace 2 is a gateway game. Avoiding the confusion and inherent frustrations that come with many of the big triple A titles is what some people want. This is the kind of game anyone can pick up and play. This world needs titles like Everspace 2 for Rockfish Games. It isn’t going to take on Mass Effect, No Mans Sky, or Starfield and nor should it. Closing Comments.Įverspace 2 is a complete and competent little space shooter. So lets just accept that the sound is fine. As I sit hear typing not a single thing comes to mind about the sound. This stands true for the sound of Everspace 2. I have to admit to be playing on the easiest difficulty level so didn’t have any concerns with the controls but can see on higher settings the accuracy might not be there.Īpparently in space nobody can hear you scream. Could be pretty cool with a flight stick as well. Controls are intuitive but suffer the old console story, would be better with keyboard and mouse. The visuals on the PS5 are very nice, with some great lighting effects to enhance your time in space. Like Gerard mentioned in his PC review, there are plenty of bold colours in the darkness of space. I went into Everspace 2 expecting to be in space all the time. My first planet side mission was an especially awesome moment visually. The variety of missions isn’t huge and can get a bit repetitive but the beautifully designed areas take the edge off the repetition. This adds greatly to the RPG-ness of Everspace 2. And along the way you will assemble a group of allies that assist and improve your base of operations. This leads to running all sorts of errands, on both sides of the law. ![]() ![]() Even Clones Need Friends…įilling the boots of Adam Roslin, a clone pilot, you are tasked with aiding your injured friend. This time around we have, in the words of Rockfish, a hack & slash Action RPG in space. Thankfully the rogue–like elements of Everspace are gone. And then you can also purchase different ships and start your customisation again… From the obvious guns and counter measures through to decals and engine burn colour. There is a fairly diverse range of options for you ship. And if, like me, you get invested in the customisation of you ship then you can add a unlimited amount of time to this. You can knock off the story in around 20 to 30 hours but will need up to 100 hours to fully explore all areas and complete side quests. So, umm, thanks Game Pass?!? Is Space Forever?įollowing on shortly after the events of the first Everspace, Everspace 2 is a single player shooter with a heap of loot and RPG elements. Even the PlayStation fans on PS5 are getting a better game because of Game Pass.” “You just make a better game and everybody’s happy. “It gets us more visibility, it gets us extra funding,” Schade continued. “We have a really good deal with Game Pass,” Schade said. In a way I hadn’t thought about it appears developers receive funding for Game Pass titles so multi platform titles benefit across the board. Originally released on PC early this year, you can see Gerard’s thoughts here.ĭeveloper Rockfish Games CEO Michael Schade has publicly stated that the PS5 version is a better game thanks to Xbox Game Pass. Anywho, Everspace 2 is the reason we are here. And loving all the PlayStation exclusives I have never played.
