Bethesda’s Starfield might have dominated the headlines last year, but despite that and big updates to the likes of No Man’s Sky, Stellaris, and Star Citizen, Everspace 2 came out ahead as the best space game of 2023 for my money. With its speedy, satisfying space battles that strike that ideal balance between arcade satisfaction and more realistic physics, and a loot-hunting system in the style of RPGs like Diablo 4 that at times outpaces even Blizzard’s epic. Ahead of Everspace 2 Incursions, the big, free update set to launch in spring, developer Rockfish Games shows off “a major change” to how legendary equipment works, and how you’ll find some of your best items in the new update.
