Don’t expect high end cutscenes or amazing voice over work. The end result has been a kind of comic book set of images with backing dialogue and conversations with the ship computer. This game originally released on PC after a successful Kickstarter project and when it did, RockFish Studio was still working out how to deliver a story. It’s important to bear in mind that Everspace was developed by just twelve people and when we see the end result, that in itself is quite impressive. This sets the stage for plenty of intriguing, non-essential discoveries to be found in the many shipwrecks floating adrift. Although, the universe of Everspace hints at faction rivalries and the kind of politics one would expect as the dust settles after a furious war between between mankind and the Okkar. When all is said and done, Everspace’s story is a fairly simple fare and shouldn’t be the reason we play it. The pilot’s talkative A.I computer sidekick makes a point of how it’s hardly a surprise that a majority of those he encounters want to kill him.įrustrated and confused, the pilot pushes on through a post war universe to find answers about his “original” and clear his name.
One of his earlier realisations is that he is in fact, a clone of his “original” – a man who seemingly did terrible things. The further we push through each sector of the galaxy, more will be revealed about the pilot’s past as his memories return to him. In Everspace, we’ll play as a cocky yet confused pilot with amnesia. A fiendishly addictive gameplay loop props up the Everspace experience wonderfully, even if it does sometimes ask a lot from the player.Įverspace released around this time last year for the PC and now enjoys a port to PS4. Although, its visuals are not all it has going for it. Everspace is very similar to Neil’s cosmos in all its colourful glory. Vast views of high definition planets, colourful rings around them and everything bathed in the light of a nearby star. The cosmos as he depicted it, was a place of visual splendour. It was the kind of show that begged for a 4K viewing as Neil whizzed us around the universe in his fictional spaceship. Although what it did have in abundance was spectacle. It was an incredibly easy show to watch, if a little patronising to its viewers. A few years ago, I was introduced to The Cosmos, presented by Neil deGrasse Tyson.
