The traditional RPG mechanics extend to levelling your character (and your allies) and inventory management. Along the way, I was searching wreckages for loot, grabbing up materials, and dancing with faceless bad guys who no doubt wished they'd stayed in bed before the end.
You're learning by doing, first as you are looking for the materials to get the base back up and running, and then repairing objectives a bit further afield in order to maintain the secrecy of this new home among the stars. While you're sitting aboard your ship for the entire time (apart from some time spent in the menus between missions), the structure is very close to that of a traditional RPG. With the station in flames, you and your two comrades make good your escape and head to an abandoned space station that acts as your base of operations for the foreseeable future. After broadcasting your presence, some of your old "friends" from the first game learn of your whereabouts and attack. That story sees you and your stricken friend imprisoned alongside another character, called Dax. While that in and of itself is very similar to what you're doing in the original, it's clear from the off that this is more a linear experience I was getting stuck into a fight that went on for ages but as soon as I strayed too close to the ally I was being directed towards, I initiated a cutscene that advanced the story. After a short tutorial I was once again strafing, rolling, and boosting in and out of danger, taking down outlaw scouts and drones like I'd never been away (I recently reviewed Star Wars: Squadrons, so maybe that helped). That being the case, the combat in Everspace 2 is nowhere near as punishing as that of its predecessor. In fact, the action links quite nicely to that of the first game and the connection between them is established early on you're the cloned pilot from the first game, but this time you do not rinse and repeat your way through the same combat encounters, rather you've broken the loop of your former existence and you're on your last life. Always be on the look-out against ambushes during interstellar travel.Ignoring the jilted dialogue, which not only sounds placeholder but sometimes reads like it too, it's easy to see what Rockfish is doing, and I'm definitely interested in seeing more of the story and finding out what happens next to my character. However, prices will vary based on supply and demand, so you better check about the latest offerings before you set course to the next trading station.
