The gameplay of EVERSPACE is like a highlight reel of space combat simulators: jump, fight, loot, repeat. The amount of downtime is very, very small, and can be made even smaller if you don't bother looting thoroughly.

It features possibly the best M+KB controls I have ever seen for spaceships. Precise enough to bullseye targets, but loose enough that you can quickly navigate tight environments.

There is a tangible sense of progression as you upgrade each ship. This does mean that your starting ship feels a bit weak - I'd advise upgrading to the Scout as soon as you have 10,000 credits, for its Teleporter. Equip the "Sensory Overload" enhancement as soon as you find it, too; it makes looting each sector much faster.

Highly recommended, in my all-time top 10.
