Why not trying the free Demo and make your own opinion ?

The only similarity is that you play in a space-ship.

Everspace 2 does not deliver star-spanning journeys and planetary discoveries; exploration is instead navigating narrow tunnel networks and broken-down space stations. You cannot captain a cruiseliner and there are no strategic management choices.

Everspace 2 emphasizes arcade twitch-based combat with unrealistic physics and loose universe rules. It's more similar to Starfox's semi-open areas, or HAWX, or even Ace Combat than it is to Elite Dangerous.

There is no comparison.
Elite Dangerous is a space simulator. It simulates space flight, the whole galaxy, with all the star systems, and a complex economy made by Humans in space faring times.
Also, with the latest developments (space legs, new engine, and thargoid invasion), it's a horrible game to play. Too much grind, too high specs, and no fun at all.
Everspace 2 is an arcade 3d space-shooter, with 3d person /1st person camera modes)
It's fast, it's fun, and has a very generic world built, with several factions, minimal economy and faction relations. Despite being open-world, it is limited by the main campaign progression, and the number of systems available. It doesn't come close to elite's whole procedural galaxy.
Everspace 2 is fast and furious. It's about space combat. Period. No exploration, no trading, no transport. You have side-missions and jobs to do, but it's still all space combat.

IMO, i very much prefer Everspace 2. I can pop in, do some missions/jobs/challenges, satisfy my brain, and pop out. 1 hour of gameplay = 1 hour of fun.
Elite Dangerous has too much grind, and too much long term play. 1 hout for 10 minutes of fun= NOT FUN.

Everspace 2 is WAAAAY better.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Well I can say that this game lets you get right to the fun stuff rather than requiring you to spend 45 minutes trying to figure out how to exit a hangar.

Certainly a different game to E:D.

Elite is more simulation and ES2 is a fast paced looter shooter so not really comparable, but still great games.

Try out the FREE Demo to get a feel for the game.

I've played them both for different reasons. E:D, last I played, had good sound design, presentation, simulation, and freedom of choice. It seldom failed to immerse me. ES2 is, as stated by others, an arcade space shooter. It's fast, fun, and to the point.

Elite probably has more content in the long run, has multiplayer, and has an impressively reasonably sized galaxy to explore. The cost is that most of that galaxy is empty, and the interesting content is far between. Everspace has all of its content packed into a much smaller space, so there is action everywhere.

In truth, the games are probably different enough to be not very easy to compare.
