EVERSPACE™

the controls (for controller) are complete trash. you can rebind them, but it adds the same execution on top of the new binding. nothing feels intuitive. the AI is on point and far better than you will be. even on normal it's overwhelming. I don't know how this even got a mostly positive rating.

I like the game, but it gets repetitive after while and play in short burst. I'm mixed on it. It's like Crimson Skies on Xbox.

It is helpful to think of this as a space-based Souls-Like game, where avoiding damage is the optimal solution, and it is entirely possible by getting through the learning curve or just taking some good advice. There is a simple trick to dodging everything, but it requires learning the way the system punishes attempting to move in straight lines. If you attempt to flee in a straight line, you will get hit by everything and die very quickly even with heavy armor and a low difficulty because you are not meant to facetank damage. I have experience with games like Descent (oldschool!) which utilized a very similar strafing system and aim-prediction based on velocity vector, so I recognized the way damage is avoidable but I also recognize that someone without that experience would need it explained to them. Also, try keyboard and mouse so that you have access to a greater number of keybinds. This is no twin-stick-shooter! You need additional degrees of freedom (more buttons!) to get the most out of this game. The game is meant to be played with joystick and keyboard equivalent, but a mouse also works great for me.
