Space games are thriving right now. Between the resurgence of No Man’s Sky, the galactic possibilities of Starfield, and the ultra-realistic approach of Star Citizen, we’re spoiled for choice. But take a trip back in time to the early ’00s, and when it came to exploring the vast depths of the universe, the best game was Freelancer. Underspace feels like its spiritual sequel, albeit with a gigantic Lovecraftian twist. If you’ve got what it takes to brave the cosmic horrors, it’s just got a major update, Steam sale, and demo.
