Considering its an older game, the visuals and environments were still good. Once i got used to the controls flight and dogfights felt fun. Though the weapon switching in order to destroy a single enemy quicker is just bad. Especially when fighting for fighters at once.
My main problem was going from duplicate stage to stage. You never feel as if you actually required to accomplish anything or feel like you have any actual objective and thus things become repetitive. Collecting fuel and resources is slow and boring, While trying to perform upgrades is a chore in its own, but carefull to only upgrade ship in hangar and not while on mission, as you will loose upgrades and items if you are destroyed.
Hopefully Everspace 2 inproved on these faults.
