Despite the launch of Starfield and big updates to No Man's Sky, Star Citizen, and Stellaris over the course of last year, 2023's best space game, and the one that won my heart, was a smaller name. Everspace 2 delivers space combat the way you imagine it in your head - fast, frantic, and furious. Its sense of exploration and loot-driven RPG systems mean it has as much in common with games like Diablo 4 and Last Epoch as it does Bethesda's interstellar epic, and as we await the next big free update coming in spring, developer Rockfish Games appeases us with a look at some of the legendary gear coming our way for us to upgrade our ship with.
