The quest to create the ultimate space-based video game has been a long and fraught one. The vastness of the universe entices developers to promise the moon (and well beyond it). Some games, like No Man's Sky, seek to create a procedural universe with infinite possibilities. Others, like Star Citizen, want to create as immersive an experience as possible, from ship-building to planetary exploration to first-person shooting. In the wake of those two juggernauts, many other space sims have thrown their hat into the ring, the latest of which is Everspace 2.
