Switch 2's New Space RPG Has the Kind of Combat I Wish No Man’s Sky Had

The Switch 2 got a surprise recently with the shadow drop of Everspace 2, and it could be a great option for No Man's Sky fans who have found the game's combat lacking. Everspace 2 and No Man's Sky are very different games, but they scratch the sci-fi itch in unique ways that make both titles worth the time. There are plenty of things that No Man's Sky does better than Everspace 2, but when it comes to combat, there is a clear winner.
