GOOD ENOUGH EXPLORATION?

[nachiket4100]

I am planning on buying it, but I am unable to find any answers of youtube so I am asking here. Is this game worth it for someone who just loves space and wants to casually fly around and enjoy the scenic views, land on planets, explore different atmospheric systems and terrain, and the skies. Is the open world really open to exploring things at your own will or is it like starfield with certain restrictions on exploration?

Flying around in space yes, landing on planets and walking around, no. There are some points where you land on planets/moons and do missions close to the ground, but they're not really the focus of the game.

No Man's Sky sounds more like what you're looking for.

No, this is not a sandbox type game, it's a looter/shooter. While exploration is certainly a part of the game, it's not the main focus.

I guess most of your Questions can be answered by playing the Demo.
Its the actual start of the Game and allows you to play the first Sector. If you decide to buy the Game, you can continue your Demo Savefile in the Game :)

Starfield is a loading bar simulator, has worse loading bars than old Skyrim, this game seems like a new take on an old take, remember the space arcade shooters from the 1980's it's a modernised sandbox version of that with deep exploration aspects.

I just bought this game myself because it can be played in VR, the VR is really nice i hope there's a nice choice of cockpits but if there's not i'm happy with the cockpit provided, i've only played 3.5 hours in VR gonna put around 10hrs on it tonight

Correction: VR is NOT part of the Experience in Everspace 2.
There are external Tools that can do that, but there is no officially supported VR.

[Funnystash]

90% of Unreal Engine4 games are VR compatible, Everspace2 seems to be very compatible, gonna put 10hrs into Everspace2 VR tonight.

[Notoshy]

as mentioned, there are tools to make non-VR games into VR games. Any resulting Bugs are the fault of the Player, since the Game was not designed for VR. The Devs will do nothing to fix any Bugs, that are rooted in external Tools.

Those external tools are merely a portal to access what's already widely available internally on UE4 UE5, OpenComposite OpenXR.dll and Openvr_api.dll is fast becoming the industry standard.

This game doesn't even advertise itself as some open-world exploration game. Its more of an Action RPG in space with looter-shooter elements.

Its not Starfield, becaues Starfield isn't even what Starfield wanted to be,
Its not a No Man's Sky clone, because that game is still figuring itself out.

You do not planet explore. All fights are in your ship. You system explore and boy are there PLENTY of beautiful sights they have put into the game. You can even look at screenshots to see some of the great views.

You have a small but servicable/customizable skill tree that allows you to make some fun builds for certain ships and/or weapons.

It has a story that works, but its not super deep and its also not gibberish lore. Its pleasant.

It is meant to be a pretty laid back shooty fun space game to vibe with the good music. You can also make it MUCH harder via the generous difficulty settings.

I don't understand how certain people's review of the game don't give you enough. Try Splattercatgaming's youtube channel or Mukluk Everspace 2 review for spoiler free impression of someone who played the full game. It sounds to me like you're just not bothering researching.. kinda hard to if you just skim videos at 2x speed. :P It'd be like reading your phone during dialogue cutscenes and then complaining the game has no story. Like, bruh.

I will definitely check out some youtube reviews before jumping on any conclusion, thanks!

Also just get the demo. It's free and you get to explore the first system as long as you want (IIRC you're just level capped and cannot leave the system, but your progress transfers to the full game).
