#Everspace stellar edition review tv

There are corporations that won’t bother you unless you steal from them and of course bandits who attack everything in sight. All around you, a fragile peace treaty is held together between the human and an insect race. As well as making a name for yourself with your piloting skills, you are trying to figure out why you woke up in a cloning facility and who’s to blame. The game takes place in the 31st century and you play as a clone with fractured memories.

To Everspace’s benefit, there is a surprising amount of depth to the story and setting.

It wasn’t until I got on the TV that I could see markers on the map and was able to fight back in dogfights more consistently. For as beautiful as it is - and it runs amazingly undocked - the limitations of the screen made dogfighting hard and I quickly found myself getting outgunned. When I was safely confined in a non-moving seat in my living room, I started it back up and played a bit in undocked mode.

Upon starting Everspace in a car setting as my significant other and I ran errands, I quickly realized the hazards of operating a game in 3D space while riding shotgun. I had hoped this would have more diplomatic routes, á la the space trading genre, but alas, this is a straight shooter. When I went into Everspace I had two things on my mind: I was so excited to play a space simulation game on a Nintendo system after what seemed like forever, and how great technology has become that the power to play such games is in the palm of my hands.
