In honour of Everspace 2 finally getting a final release date (April 6th) and launch trailer, here's a thread for both games.
I've had immense fun with the Early Access version since day one, every update brought fantastic improvements, and I can't wait to get stuck into the full game.
They did recommend starting a new save with every milestone update, but I never did and found myself sometimes wondering if enemies were over or underpowered as a result of my not following that advice.
Really looking forward to more ship customisation more than anything.
On the subject of Everspace 1 and its' expansion, the day I finally made it to the end of the game is one of my fondest gaming memories in recent years.

Is the first one worth playing? I've become a big fan of space games in VR (Star Wars Squadrons), and I was disappointed (though not entirely surprised) to see that they've ditched it for the sequel.
Probably still get it, as it sounds good.

First one is a bit barebones as a game, second looks better in pretty much every way.

Is Everspace like owning a space van? Or is it Freespace/X-Wing? I genuinely can't remember anymore.

A little bit of both. It’s a space shooter roguelike. It doesn’t drop you in and let you go do your own thing like Elite/Freelancer/X, but you do loot and upgrade.
Dunno if that’s changed for the 2nd one, somehow I own it but have never touched it.

The second one is much more what you are after, Grem was describing the first.

I bought the first one on Xbox console when I was buying roguelites (and it was on sale). I liked it, but didn't love it. There was also something about the controls that was really annoying. I can't remember exactly what, but it was some feature that was in other flying games (think barrel roll or turning upside down or something), that was only possible witha strange button mapping.

Oooh I might be sold on this. First one always looked beautiful but got middling reviews.
Elite is too much for me so something simpler most welcome.
No Man's Sky with all the expansions felt like it was almost made for me but I couldn't stand getting stuck on planets looking for oxygen or tritium or what have you to fuel a ship.
Anyone remember Colony Wars?!

There's also Rogue Galaxy Outlaw. It's kind of elite boiled down to its core elements, and with a nice vibe/style.
I drifted away from it reasonably soon though. It felt a bit directionless... but I think I just don't really get on so well with self-directed space games as flying around space can feel pretty samey to begin with. I need a strong storyline to get me hooked.
It's often pretty cheap though so worth a spin.
PS/ Plus the bars have decent pool tables

Had a quick go yesterday and quite enjoyed what I played but I was super tired and decided I will come back to it later.
The story seems a bit pish though but the gameplay makes up for it I think.

Need to get back on this at some point, I enjoyed what I played but it will have to wait until the releases slow down a bit.
