This guy should work at IGN or any other game critic website.
And no that wasn’t meant in a negative way.
He has more views than IGN. Why would he join them ?
How can you not mean it in a negative way when you mention IGN?? They would only ruin his talent if he joins them.
IGN reviewers arent allowed to have integrity tho
I rarely comment on videos but here I am:You described the game in a very objective and mature way, trying to cover both important factors and small details and giving enough information for any type of player to decide whether or not the game suits them. Even the way you described things made the review feel really premium and well thought out ( the calm tone of the voice, the clean and on point manner of speaking and so on ). The whole time it really felt like I was watching a seasoned professional, which I didn't initially expect when I saw your low subscribers number.There are more good things I could point out but I'll stop at saying that you truly did a good job. I've seen many other reviews for this game before coming across yours and my opinion is that none of them was made better. Keep it up man!
Agreed, it makes me wanna try the game.
Well i guess ill be the only one who thought it was actually a kinda bad review. I actually thought this "review" was a paid advert for the game the guy was gushing over it every second. Of the 11 minute review we have to wait until 8:17 minutes in to hear one bad thing about the game (damage model). He says nothing about the details of how things work in the game...he says nothing about any bugs (i guess none then?) how is the UI? how is the fps? graphics and game options? its a space flight game ? oh can you use a hotas? what about the sound? music? nope nothing on any of that. He spends too much time *liking* the game without introducing the game to people who have not played it and explaining how things work. So in that respect it was one of the most subjective and less detailed reviews i've seen in a while.
Thanx SirDutchie for a most enjoyable and non gutter language showing of what looks like a really fun game. I'm tired of hearing millennial "pseudo techies" slamming game developers harder than Gordon Ramsey bangs on restaurants. And I think you explained and showed quite well how things work.
I didn't think it was a "paid advert" even for a second.
The graphics look fine to me as they are, but I do not run my contrast and brightness up to max anyway, don't see why some do, and if I did that on every game I would just use the settings on my screens anyway.
Who cares what the frames per second is! I have filmed games, even old games with the fps jumping all over, and my gear is nice enough to smooth them right out.
Is it a space flight game - duh.
Music is in the ear of the listener Zerinth, do you really need someone to tell you what you like? With the copyright strikes going round these days, CZcamsrs are crazy to play the music, go listen to it on the game's website and judge for yourself do you like it.
Bugs - depends on your machine, again check the forum of the game's website, where the developers can read and maybe fix things, that's why they have forums.
And when you type "Well i guess ill be the only one" try losing the text message speak and hit the caps button twice.
Have a nice day.
@@Zerinth maybe it's just a good game then....
so should I buy it or not?! LOL
Anyone here because of the 80% sale for the game in Steam?
yup :D and i bought it. i was conviced
@drditup planning to buy it along with a bunch of other games. How is it so far?
PS4, but yes also on sale for £2
True !!! lol
Thinking about it...
Love this review. You should review ALL games. You're fair, go in depth enough without dwelling on a few aspects and give a proper explanation for anyone who's unfamiliar with the genre or game type. I'm subbing... Thanks.
"Everspace is the Dark Souls of space games" is what I was expecting.
Every rogue-like can be similar to dark souls. Dark souls is a rogue like after all
@@CerealKiller well, Dark Souls is kinda like a rogue like game, but i don't think the reference was made about this, but the difficulty of the game...
I have played Everspace for a long time, and in the later stages the game becomes incredible dificult.
Take that in mind that reach the last stage is time consuming, and if you die, you have to start all over again, not in the last bonfire that you interact.
I also preffer play the game in first-person so, it makes even more dificult to play.
Everspace is a game that your skill count more than the ship you are using...
@Major Gear yeah, the only thing is that the money you make stays with you, but you should spend it all in the hangar buying upgrades (wich are permanent) because if you don't and try to save for your next run, you will lose the money.
The levels are randon so each run is different, you won't be seeing the same levels over and over.
Also theres encounters and bits of the story that you will find here and there on each run.
In the beggning of the game you will die a lot, but as you progress you would see that you not only will become more powerful, but also will have learn quite some few tatics to deal with all kinds of enemys.
If i'm not mistaken there 7 stages divide in 2 paths and more or less 4 or 5 levels in each.
You can, if you want just keep jumping the entire sector, but at some point you will run out of fuel and will need to scavage or find a trade station to refuel your ship, but at the end of each sector theres at least one trade ship/station so you can go foward and just ocasionaly stop, keep in mind, that if you try this tatic at the beggining of the game you wouldn't go to far, the enemys are way more powerful in the mid sectors than they are in the beggning and you will may not be capable of avoiding them all.
one of the best reviews of a game ive seen, without blabbering away with insignificant comments, I happen to chance on this review. great job!
You sir, have lots of review-talents! This is one of the best reviews I have seen on youtube! Short, powerful, clear, to the point. I now know perfectly what to expect! Going to subscribe to you, something I almost never do.

@@-CatPervert- doubt it’ll top no mans sky
Kind
Props on this great review! I try to play more obscure games for my gameplay videos on my channel. This is truly an excellent video. It’s $11.99 right now for the Stellar Edition with all the DLC. Outstanding review!!
Thanks for the gameplay review. It was very informative. Just curious to know if by any chance you also have a website/blog that summarizes your game reviews?
If Microsoft ever decide to revive Freelancer they should outsource the project to Rockfish.
Loved that game so much! The visuals in this remind me so much of that game!
R1Armadill0 in Galaxy on Fire 2 (a game that many people who worked at Rockfish also worked on) there are references towards Freelancer
Yes. I just bought this game to satisfy some of the craving I still have for Freelancer that I loved so much (years ago). Not disappointed.
@@RebornThroughHate There are also nods to Descent in the way the games requires navigating tunnels or space ships to get to containers. I know Descent was very popular in Germany at the time, so it's only fitting that Rockfish Games included this (they're a German game developer)
from what i know the Everspace 2 is going to be much more open world and free roaming in general
so in a sense we kinda getting another Freelancer
Thanks for the review, really clear and in-depth in just 11 minutes.
I'm looking for an arcade-style rail shooter in the vein of Rez/Star Fox/Crimson Skies on ps4. Already got Rez and Starlink. Will this scratch such an itch? I don't mind some sim elements, but I need bosses as well.
I just bought it on PS4 a few days ago and I'm enjoying it. The first two days I didn't really understand it very well, but the more I got into it and understood how it is played (perks, money, upgrades, missions, story, etc), the game opened up and got much bigger and much better than it appeared on first look. Fly-controls and combat are excellent. $7.99 for the Stellar Edition was certainly well-spent. I see that Everspace 2 is coming out. That will be a full-price purchase.
If these guys could do the next "Star Fox"....MY GOD!
Would make sense, this gameplay looks very similar to starlink
I'm looking for a game close to Freelancer, is this game similar to that and anyone have any recommendations?
Oh no, is this a dead channel? I just subscribed. You are good at this, I went looking for reviews on this game and this was the only one I found that was explaining the things I wanted to know.
You should keep doing these. Subs will come.
So have they put it out for PS4 have they?
Are the gamepad controls good?
Why is no one talking about the non-existent sensitivity controls on Xbox One?
Can you take the crosshairs off-screen?
i just bought it on steam on sale and i am gonna keep it.
i just need to practice and config the controls to fit me better
thanks for the video.
good luck in space man : ]
Is this game available for Xbox one? Now
I highly recommend the game if you’re looking to have fun with a ship
In space.
Space games are not that frequent these days, i own elite dangerous but it’s sometimes too boring, for being really role playing, besides there’s not much happening most of the time.
The addiction behind this game, as an arcade it’s the way you improve your ship and feel stronger, they should add more weapons or unexpected events.
What’s good about this game, it’s scifi design, i know could be better, but just feels great like when you change your main ship and boom you are able to fly faster and evade shots.
I love this review of the game, not very biased but the one issue I have is the "can feel cheap" statement, I play a lot of rogue likes, that's what they do, whether its Dead Cells, FTL, Darkest Dungeon or plenty of others you can always get gypped out of your run or a piece of your ship or a crew-member by a single enemy or random encounter.
(for the FTL players out there, the space spiders... all those damn space spiders)
Looks like a more complex Galaxy on fire 2.
you hit the nail right on the head! but the game is even less fun than that game in my opinion, what SirDutchie failed to mention is how every zone is exactly that a zone, the game is far from a fluid open world experience, and the story telling is actually quite shit. I love pretty graphics but not even pretty graphics can fix this game.
That is a shame, Its to hard to find good good spaceship games which aren't elite dangerous.
NexGenGamer that's disappointing to hear. This gamr is coming to Switch and I got excited
It is made by same people even max voice actor is here
It also looks like rebel galaxy
Top review man, Ik was opzoek naar een goede spacegame, uiteindelijk twijfelde ik tussen Everspace en No Mans Sky... Ik ga voor nu voor Everspace! Dankjewel voor je uitgebreide uitleg.
Very well done video and review. This game just moved on to my Want List.
A small complaint I have about the game is that you can't seem to out-maneuver enemies like in other aerial combat games (get around the back of enemy crafts and kick their asses, literally).
I’ve been able to.
The glitches get pretty bad sometimes. I've seen outlaw drone carriers launch themselves across the map upon destruction. Same thing happens with Okkar corvettes. I've seen enemies warp into asteroids and get stuck, and I've even been launched into an asteroid from a jump and taken damage. Edit: and there was one time when I got locked out of a G&B service station because an outlaw drone was lodged in an asteroid nearby.
Great review, really informative.
How does this compare to the new Starlink game?
Is this FTL in 3D?
From the guys who made the amazing GOF2. The series might be dead but the spirit and designers are there.
I am debating if I should get this. GOG has it on sale for $18 basic $33 for all 3 items. Thank you for review, it helps. On a completely different side note, I'd like to point out the ridiculous and continuing notion that asteroid and ice belts are so dense with rocks and ice that you have to dodge them. That close together they either form a planetoid or get smashed to dust in a short period of time. Our solar system is believed to have a billion asteroids bigger than a football field, meaning about one asteroid per 33 quadrillion cubic miles. You would have to be pretty unlucky to hit one.
telocity have you heard of the asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter?
on sale on steam for like $5.99 US until the 3rd. Thats how I got here. Great review.
I'm in LOVE with this game♡
Galaxy On Fire 1 is one of my favorite games. And this feels even better♡
I would like more ships instead of upgrades, and an auto-pilot. But.... it's still a phenomenal game ♡
I've seen a lot of people comparing it to Galaxy on Fire and I looked it up. I think the games might be made by the same basic team under different names, so it makes sense.
@@UberSkunk
I was thinking that... but I couldn't remember
@@UberSkunk it was made by the original galaxy on fire developers. Fihlabs got bought so they started their own company and when fishlabs got bought and the developers left, gof 3 (manticore) was created, which is a total piece of shit
Wonderful review! Thank you! )
This game is great! Simple fun and action. Great setting and characters. Once you've finished playing it, you'll come back to it from time to time.
I wasn’t aware of this game until recently and I decided to look up a CZcams review of it and saw this video. I really appreciate this review you made. It’s well thought out, concise and presented well. Thank you.
Great video. Great review. EXACTLY what I was looking when I searched for info about this game. Good job Dutchie! And thank you!
Got it for free on Stadia, this review helped me out! Game is beautiful nonetheless
just started playing this week on stadia actually. it rocks. was hoping to learn how to play the damn game here lol. not sure what ships to be using
I saw this game on sale on Steam. This video helped me decide whether or not I wanted to buy it. Thanks a lot!
Jonas Hemmingsson hehe same, this review was fantastic i think i have to get it
U dont need ro buy the game just crack it
Aridya Wicaksono
Dude you know that any other way than buying a game from an official website is illegal right?
@@requiemlul3140 Obviously but people who don't support certain companies dont deserve the money.
Spike2 Savage
Nobody has to support a company if they don’t want to.
This game makes me nostalgic for Freelancer. I'd love for that to be on switch too.
Has anyone every played free-space 2 on the pc? I did when I was a kid and I've been waiting years for something even close to come out on Xbox. And this is it!!! Lol I can't wait to play this.
omg I have been trying to find a game similar to free space 2 for yearssss! That game was amazingggggg.
I will give this game a try as well.
bbblllaaaj no no no, Freelancer was the real deal. It made Freespacd 2 look like a primitive space shooter. Everspace is the true Freelancer successor if you ask me.
Remy Basi try Freelancer. It still looks and plays amazing. You can even TARGET SPECIFIC parts of enemies. And it's an open world kind of. Really cool game back in the day. I think you'll still find servers of players running online these days. It's a sp game with a MP option (if you want to run a server for it)
Freespace 2 is on GOG.com. {$10ish full price} {steam has it but it is buggy and you need a lot of time and effort installing things etc. to get it to work properly} Also get the free FS_Open from scp.indiegames.us/
I got this info from www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/02/01/the-best-space-games-on-pc/6/
I also recently bought 4 copies of Freelancer :)
Eve?
That ship reminds me so much of Defender for the Gamecube.
reminds me of the good ol kessie from ftl
I bought this with expansion earlier this week on XBSX for £6.25, worth every penny so far, can't wait for 2, because of the quality of this I'll buy it day one on console, I have Chorus on PS5, you'll love that if you liked this, you can literally drift while firinh in the opposite direction, really fun mechanic once you get comfortable with it, controls in Chorus are more intuitive than this but I like it so far, be a bargain by now even if I'd finished, reminded me of an old mobile game (this one has incredible console graphics btw) called Galaxy on Fire, something like that, was a decent game for a mobile game anyway.
On sale right now on steam 10/07/2019. I think I'm buying it thanks to this review.
same here lmao
Perfect example of a person that actually deserves both views and subs, you are way to undersubed. Best of luck dear sir.
Great review! subscribed
Is this a sim or a shooter?
What’s the background music in this video? I feel like I’ve heard it before.
very nicely presented. thanks for making this.
Just bought this (the full version with the dlc) at gamestop for 12. Its 40 on PSN, new.
Buckets of fun and with every penny.
Great review! Thanks man!
Saw the trailer for Chorus and well... i can't wait to play a game like that! so I might cop this one.
Nice graphics! I liked this game, maybe I give one a try if my rig could run one.
Hello friend! Coud I change view to cockpit? thank you!
Yes, press Y for Xbox or Triangle for PS4 (not sure for switch) to change perspectives.
@@anakinhart6394 I want to know about Switch hehehe
@@drdomdiego lol this is outrageous!
thank you for writing the track name to begin with
now how does this compare to elite dangerous
Which one is better? This or Galaxy on fire 3?
Francisco Erivan Araújo do Nascimento let's be honest compare to gof2, gof3 is trash
This
In Riven or Uru it was "what in Hell do I do?" In this game it is "Who in Hell am I and what is even going on I should even bother doing anything?"
Wow! Wish all game reviews would be so good as this one. Game is on Microsoft store for 5.99€!!!Thanx
7€ atm and a LOT more charming then X4 (aka not a buggy mess
I like both...
And also, i don't think we should compare this two games, they are too different from each other in many aspects...
I got bored playing this. Same thing evey mission; mine stuff, get attacked, bail. Not sure what I’m supposed to be doing. Still unable to get repair drones. The game doesnt guide you in anything. Looks nice. I ended up buying Starlink; way more fun.
Good review, clear and enjoyable.
I appreciate it mate! That was the goal ^^
I wish you the best for your channel. Your style is perfect because i was focused entirely on the contents of your video. No "funny" montage, no "weird" voices, no colorful unnecessary stuff all around.
I will start follow your reviews from now on, because they feel reliable. And that is the most important thing on a review imho.
Game is free on xbox game pass now
Then in that case, It is not free, you dope!!
Wow! It looks like Colony Wars from the ps1! Is that what they were going for? :)
is it worth 12 euros?
Do you get out of the ship?
its 70% off right now for like $8 or something on xb1
Is it on ps4
James Woodcock it is from May 22nd. But I'm sure you know that by now it's £26.39 if you pre order and have Ps plus until 22nd.
nice review thank you :)
Having a hard time enjoying this game. Being constantly blown up by large groups of enemies just gets old. I might get back to this game if I have more time to really figure it out.
Sir you made me buy this game. Excellent presentation.
Goede review! Ga zo door met je kanaal en de views komen vanzelf. Misschien nog handig om aan het eind alle plussen en minnen in een graphic naast elkaar te zetten en eventueel een rating te geven (1/10).
Thanks man. Goede suggestie ik kan misschien wel een snel overzicht geven aan het einde nog.. rating moet ik nog ff zien dat was niet echt mijn intentie maar dat kan nog altijd veranderen. De plusjes en minnetjes die ik vaak in de score laat zien dienen in feite al een beetje als een rating.
Rating is misschien ook wel te veel van het goede, inderdaad. Een evt. koopadvies zegt wel genoeg.
bit mean the developer stiffs xbox one early access buyers for the dlc pack. people who bought everspace on pc & xbox one early access took a risk on an unfinished game & supported the game in development with our purchase & feedback. then we have to pay an extra £10 to get something that wasn't added until the release. same old story of a two tier price on a game release with extra stuff added at the last minute to create a "premium" version of the same title.
Should I get this game for PC or PS4?
PS4 better , you need to get used to multiple buttons and and analogs which are not available i think in other than ps4 .
Well, looks like they "copied" or borrow idea from City Interactive's "Starmageddon 2". By how jet is moving and controlled it just looks like it's Starmaggedon... well, 3 with fresh engine. Good idea, loved Starmageddon 2. Will try Everspace too
This is currently on sale on PSN store. I think i'll get it. :)
We need more different type of space games
Well depending on your preferred platform, a lot of new space games are coming out on PC this year. Including what’s supposed to be the worlds biggest MMO space game we’re you build your own destiny in a single Server universe.
Is that open world space game?
Excellent Review 😎👌
ok trying to avoid spoilers, but do mechanics get in the way of the story. (Example of this is Jedi fallen order, you can spend 3 hours trying to figure out the temple puzzle and actually forget what is going on in the story)
Good review!
Looks interesting, but what is this 'rogue-like' term I keep hearing in other reviews of this game?
Basically each time you start a new game the experience is rather fresh with randomized challenges and enemy types. Each time you die you start all over basically losing the progress you've previously made. Some games, like Everspace, allow some degree of saved progress by way of dollars earned throughout each run that you can use to spend on your ship's abilities to improve future runs. The goal is always to finish the game in one good run, rather than rely on savegames and checkpoints :)
Perfect, thanks!
+SirDutchie - That's a HUGE deterrent for me. Lack of save points was one of the MOST annoying things about earlier games. (Along with the pixelated graphics). At first, "rogue-like" may have been an interesting concept with Dark Souls, but it got old REALLY fast. After a while, Dark Souls got placed on a shelf as a game I might go back to ONE DAY.
These days, devs are bringing back some of the most annoying drawbacks of older games and using them as a selling point. It's like offering frozen dinners with LESS FOOD, yet charging significantly more for them by calling them "reduced calorie".
As consumers, I think we're walking around with the term SUCKER stamped on our foreheads!
The original roguelkes were old 80s ascii graphic dungeon crawl rpgs. The first one was called Rogue, hence the name. The most famous was called Nethack, followed closely by Angband. They had a few things in common. The dungeon was generated by RNG, meaning each time you played it was different. Also the items you found were randomized. So there was always going to be a potion of healing, but sometimes it would be a pink potion and other times it would be yellow. They tended to be brutally difficult where random death was just a fact of life. They also included the feature that if you died, that character was done. With few exceptions.
They are also free. That's right, present tense. The games have been in development for 30 years now, with a philosophy of simple graphics but extremely deep game play. One of the main features of the games were they were open source, so anybody could write a mod or alter them. Occasionally these mods were rolled into the primary game(common in Nethack) and often they were as popular as the original game (Angband variants are legendary).
The primary draw of a roguelike is you get a new game each time you play. Civilization random maps draw a lot on this. Diablo's point and click dungeon crawl style functions a lot like a rogue like. In hard core it's like a high graphic low complexity rogue like.
One of the selling points of old roguelikes that doesn't come through is the detail. In nethack you can turn into a rust monster which lets you eat metal items. You can then eat a trident. This has a chance of boosting your wisdom "Pure chewing satisfaction" because of reference to an old gum commercial. It's the kind of thing you get from thirty years of development.
Xena Zon so because you find it annoying, everyone is a sucker for liking it? These games are designed that way they offer a different experience each playthrough.
I love your vids me and my big sister love them
😂👍
Can I get a Firefly? Or is this the only ship?
Its very cool game , i bought it on ps4 and i don't regret it , the most enjoying space craft game out there ... continue RockFish !
Great review
Freelancer? Anyone?
Yes, i came here because of that, wish it was updated, the best game ive ever played
This is what Descent: Freespace should have been.
Hmmmm- After hearing this, I'm starting to think I'll get this game :)
I'm not really a type of a space guy....
but I gotta say this game is well made...
What?! The story unfolds as you play?! Such witchcraft!!
worth to buy on ps4?
realramas YES
realramas no its boring as shit
thanks for the video
