Everhood 2

Everhood 2 may be the hardest game to review that I've ever played, because its just. Its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ strange. Everhood 1 is a self-contained story that has no need for a sequel. Everhood 2 is a sequel to that. So its kind of an awkward start. I'll cover the like, easy stuff first. The music is good. The battles are good. The new areas are cool. It is funny. In a very basic sense, it is more Everhood But if you liked Everhood for its story and specifically want more of that, you're ♥♥♥♥ out of luck. In a spoiler-free sense: Everhood 2 is a game about being an unnecessary sequel, about going to a finished story and going, what if there was more? It is a game that's gonna be absolutely baffling in spots unless you have a pretty good understanding of philosophy. It is a game about absurdism. As an insightful redditor once put it, trying to describe the meaning in Everhood 2 is like trying to find the meaning in an inkblot test, or an acid trip. There kind of isn't one solid answer, but that doesn't mean the exercise of trying isn't in itself valuable. The story of Everhood 2 is your experience of it. It is in a literal sense A Game but also a deconstruction of wha…

If you didn't play Everhood 1 and know nothing about it, this game is probably fine. Compared to Everhood 1 this game was a massive slap in the face to everything the first game did right. The story is nonsense and pointless, the characters aren't fleshed out at all, the combat is "better" but Everhood was never about the combat. It's just such a letdown of a sequel compared to everything that made the original good

dont play it, unnecesary fighing mechanics. just play the first one.

party

The story doesn't have the depth of the first game, but it still fun and wacky and a good time. The gameplay is better than ever and very satisfying.

Enjoyed it.
