- Beautiful low graphic game world.
- Tutorial pop ups as you play.
- Multiple choice encounters and decisions form a lot of the story and gameplay.
- Adventure rhythm gameplay.
- Playable tutorial sections and ongoing text pop up.
- Has a strong Undertale homage to it from the graphics style to the fonts and animations.
- The presentation of every encounter is unique and memorable.
- At times it feels like a mushroom trip.
- Powerful game in that you think about it when you are not playing it.
- Save points are scattered about the world.
- Excellent Chiptune soundtrack and effects.
- Combat is like Guitar Hero in appearance, with lanes you can jump between, colored elements will appear and come at you, jump over them or absorb them to build up a power attack. Getting hit or collecting a different colored element will reset the power of the attack.
- Perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch OLED Console.
- Memorable characters.
- End of battle breakdown showing exp earned and enemies defeated.
- Depending on your difficulty, choices depend on what happens when you die in battle, it’s either a full restart or you instantly respawn and carry on with a new health bar.
- Aside from moving lanes in combat, you need to jump over obstacles, avoid the wrong element, etc.
- Green elements heal aswel as attack.
- The combat once learned is very satisfying.
- Massive boss encounters and face off against multiple enemies at once.
- Earn exp and level up to increase health, and damage.
- You have a central area with a Raven who is helping you, in this place you can freely choose the order of where to go.
- Locations are actually different worlds and you have the power to travel between them.
- Find power gems and use them to upgrade your stats.
- You can equip a companion, weapon, and a talisman.
- Talismans will have a unique power or buff but always come with a huge cool down.
- Some of the effects get pretty gnarly.
- It’s a game you can lose hours to.
Everhood 2 Review Cons:
- The questionnaire is very matter of fact, so it is yes or no, not maybe or sometimes, etc.
- Movement when in combat is very sensitive and can make the more hectic battles a test of reflexes over anything else.
- It’s such a small window but you can easily lose a streak of power built up in combat with a slight graze against the wrong element.
- Combat does not lend itself well to pausing the game.
- It’s a slow starter.
- Facing the same enemy type is common and causes the fights to become repetitive.
- It’s hard to see the obstacles properly at times.
- You cannot always skip cutscenes or interactions.
- Some of the noises they use are unpleasant, for me, the constant ticking or tapping noise in the pause menu is next level annoying.
- I wish you could have conversations that auto scroll.
