June 2024

Did you play Freelancer? Get this game. You won't regret it. Otherwise, this game is to Freelancer as Project Wingman is to Ace Combat. It's a dedicated love letter to arguably the best space game of all time, and the love is obvious.

June 2024

I had to refund this game because it triggers motion sickness for me. But that does not reflect poorly on the quality of the game. The time I spent with this game was positive. I will for sure revisit it in the future. I also want to note that the dev is very responsive in the forum and that is a great sign that an early access game is getting treated with care and love. This motion sickness thing happens to me a lot, mostly with space and flying games which is incredibly sad to me because those are my favourites. Again, I want to stress... ****do not let the fact that I am refunding this make you reconsider playing the game, motion sickness isn't the game's fault****

June 2024

It's Freelancer meets 40k, the controls are solid and the graphics have a bit of a retro feel that makes the game feel more like a mod for Freelancer rather than a separate game but in a good way. The story is interesting and the eldritch portion of the gameplay is very fun, lots of staples from lovecraftian horror for fans of things that go bump in the night. The only bad thing I can say about the game is (minor character spoiler) the protag is completely unlikable. They do nothing but whine and complain, even the journal entries come off as arrogant and spoiled

May 2024

I played Freelancer as a kid back in the day. Underspace is NOT kidding around when they claim to be inheriting that game's legacy. So much about Underspace feels like Freelancer again. The UI is very similar, the flight is almost identical, controls are nearly the same - and it still adds new things. The exploration seems crazy, these 'storms' really creeped me out when I first saw one, this game seems to be doing everything Freelancer did and more. If you loved Freelancer as much as I did, you'll love this. However, I am going to try to refund the game for now because I want to wait and play this when it's fully released. I should have just tried the demo, but the game is in a bit of a rough state right now. I still recommend it because it has some serious potential if the devs commit to it. I'll be keeping an optimistic eye on this game!

April 2024

Some might say it's TOO close to Freelancer, I say it's just right, barring things like missing voice acting and general polish. It nails the visuals, if a bit of a different palette. It's sorta there with the audio, although a lot of that is simply a matter of audio mastering or stylistic choice. It nails the weirdly lively yet empty universe, the small scale but big, and the unique tranquility of travelling towards an obscured wreck or going through a jump lane. Underspace adds some of it's own flair, of a certainty. Some new equipment types, a leveling up system, the ability to walk around stations that they never got the chance to implement in Freelancer itself, and entire underlayer of cosmic horror... It's also got a spirit of the unknown, of looking around the next corner with both trepidation and hope. But the awkward exposition is the same too... As for the minor elephant in the room... it does look aged. But from my perspective, that just hones in better on the unique appeal of the niche it's trying to fill. I don't know if you could really pull an atmosphere like this off by going for anything other than an early 2000s 3D look, it's iconic in it's own way and massively impacts how the universe is presented. I like it, but then I still play 90s DOOM so I'm tolerant of older graphics as long as the artistic style is solid - and Underspace manages a good visual appeal pretty well for all it's clunky models and low res textures, making great use of the sort of fog obscurement popular at the time and leaning into the limitations of a low poly, low distance style to get the best out of a close, almost claustrophobic kind of deep space. On controls and interface... game feels intuitive for a Freelancer vet, but I do recommend poking around the tutorials. It's clunky, for all it's faithful to it's inspiration. And perhaps because of it. If all you really wanted from Chris Roberts was Freelancer 2 and not the Icarus style dream project that is Star Citizen, this should scratch the itch. Underspace is a strong callback to it's origins, with it's own setting, and a few twists in mechanics. If you are a fan of more arcade semi-RPG spacesims, and can enjoy the aesthetic of mid-2000s style of 3D graphics, and don't mind the patchy audio... you should enjoy this. If you, like me, are a big fan of the original Freelancer... you should almost certainly enjoy this. I recommend it regardless, but it's probably not for everyone. Or for most who don't find Freelancer itself to still be appealing to play. TL;DR: A true love letter to a great, if flawed, space sim. Feels almost like an expansion pack in another setting.
