Everspace 2 + Overload (Descent IV)

[alt3rn1ty]

For anyone interested, there's a new Space game called Everspace 2
Much better than its predecessor, and its now out of Early Access, had a few patches since.

GOG https://www.gog.com/game/everspace_2
Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1128920/EVERSPACE_2/

Its a single player, loot and shoot, lots of levelling up/upgrading trees to technology.

Its made by an Indie, but very well done. My laptop (see specs in signature) handles this game extremely smoothly.

Anyway check out the videos on GOG or Steam, player reviews are really good/very positive.
There are DLCs in development too, but just the base game is going to take up a lot of your time.
Just one ship to pilot and dogfight with, but many upgrade options and up to Legendary weapons/tech to be found.
Enemies change their strategy based on tech used, and not just more powerful weapons.

Edit : Another worth mentioning, may be a bit niche so I'll just add it here ..
Anyone who ever liked Descent, there's a new version called Overload
GOG https://www.gog.com/en/game/overload
Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/448850/Overload/

The CEO posted in the reviews on GOG :

I am the CEO of Orbital Design Studios, and am the designer behind the canceled "Descent IV" project in 2002. This game is a thing I thought I'd never see, aside from prototypes in my company's archives.

A very warm welcome back to Matt & Mike and all of the old crew of Parallax and Outrage Entertainment who have returned to create this long dreamed of and hoped for creation. Thank you for putting my regrets that D4 couldn't get made, to rest. Overload will stand for all time in its place.

To everyone else... You're going down. Again. (ಠ_ಠ)

Its made by the original Descent team.
Well worth a blast for 6 degrees of freedom fans, well made, very smooth and nostalgic.
