What are the cons of EVERSPACE™ 2?

Frequent and repetitive environmental puzzles that interrupt the flow of action.. Gameplay loop can become boring and overly grindy during extended play..

AI Review Summary

EVERSPACE 2 is a visually stunning arcade space shooter that successfully transitions the series from a roguelike to a persistent open-world looter-shooter. While the 6DOF combat is praised for being fluid and responsive, the experience is frequently bogged down by repetitive environmental puzzles and a grindy progression loop.
