I have a thrustmaster t1600m. It is quite rough actually. Difficult to stay on target.

Gameplay[edit]
Everspace is a space combat game in which the player progresses through a number of sectors with increasing difficulty. In this game the player is expected to die. With each death you can spend earned credits into Perks, which in turn facilitate your following run. The player can find weapons and add-ons that can be used during the current run. The player is also given the ability to craft and upgrade various systems of their ship, including weapons, maneuverability and shielding. An overarching storyline is revealed as the player reaches certain points in a run for the first time. You can also meet NPCs which will give you different objectives to complete in the current or following runs and they will reward you when you complete their tasks.
Reception[edit]
The Playstation 4 version of Everspace has a score of 78% on Metacritic.[3] Anthony Marzano of Destructoid awarded the Nintendo Switch version a score of 6.5 out of 10, saying 'it ultimately is enjoyable' but acknowledging that it would not appeal to a wide audience.[4] Gareth Chadwick of The Sixth Axis awarded it a score of 7 out of ten, praising the story and fast-paced combat and loadout options, but criticising the repetitive nature of the gameplay.[5]Nintendo Life awarded the Switch version a score of 7 out of 10, saying 'it performs admirably – if not flawlessly – on Nintendo’s console.'[6]
Sequel[edit]
A sequel, Everspace 2 is set to be released for Microsoft Windows, Linux, MacOS, Xbox One and Playstation 4.[7] It is set to be released on Steam's early access in December 2020, with the full game set to be released in early 2022.[8]
