Thanks so much for the shout out! As a team we appreciate everything you do to highlight space games of all kinds! Here's to a future filled with games set in space! 🚀

"Actually rewards the player's time" Why do I feel like that is shots fired at Elite Dangerous? XD

FInally SOMETHING about Spacebourne 2! This game is a gem and it is well worthed the price.

Everspace 2 really does deserve more recognition. Its such a great game

Picked up Spacebourne 2 because I like supporting solo/small dev teams that have a ton of passion and some good ideas. I do hope it ends up being one of those long term projects that gets continuous improvements and content updates like Caves of Qud, Dwarf Fortress and Starsector.

I have a lot of fun with Everspace 2 from early access to final release. DLC to come next year! Surprised X4 did not get a mention with the DLC that got released this year.

X4 is still being updated! That's a 'must try' for any hardcore sci fi space gamers.

Totally agree, Everspace 2 is a dream come true in a lot of ways.

Yeah, I'm still a Space Engineer. 🥰

surprisingly X4 is missing even when it did release a big DLC with Kingdom End this year. So in that regard it even added more content then ED this year. And Everspace 2 is indeed a great game in the genre of space looter shooter. To bad those games mostly don't go bigger then fighter ships. Also another game I think is missing is Space Reign, though haven't played it a lot due to it being Early Access, just like KSP2. But it does look promising and decent for a new spacegame. Though in that category I think Spacebourne 2 is indeed the better option so far.

For me X4 Foundations is I think very worth to mention. It has much improvements in 2023, a lot of new functions and with the borons a very nice nice race and very much new interesting ships never seen before.😊

Id love to see coverage of one the best space games of all time: Starsector

im so sad that Elite has that focus on Thargoids, they could have used their energy on something exciting, new ships, new ground stuff

I actually just picked up Spacebourne 2, it was on sale for really cheap, so I will give it a shot.

I assume that Star Citizen didn't feature as it's not yet released, but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it, @ObsidianAnt.

Whist I`ve played all the games mentioned in this video and enjoyed some of them, X4 Foundation with his latest expansion remains the best single player space game experience in my opinion.

great video. one title I've been meaning to go back to and check out the recent expansions for is x4 foundations. did you ever get back to x4 kingdom end?

I Wonder why he, as a more or less expert on space games, don't talk about the game X4?

Ixion for me is the best game of 2023 because of its unique approach. One fault in your reasoning about starfield, it's not a space game. It's an RPG game in a space setting. Just like Colony Ship is not a space game but an RPG in a space setting. Spacebourne 2, Everspace and Astrox are true space games. Anyway keep up the good work because you are my YouTuber of 2023. 😊
