Its good.
VERY TEDIOUS at times but still a good game.
I like how it pays homage to all the classics without relying on their worst parts as difficulty ('cough' 'cough' Evoland1)
The only parts I outright hated were the platforming sections.
Like the first game it doesn't realize that not every part of those games was fun to play.

The first 1/4 of the game felt painfully tedious, almost made me drop, but it actually gets pretty enjoyable once they let you freely roam the full map at your leisure.

The idea has charm, although the execution gets pretty wonky at times, it felt more appropriate for a smaller game like the first entry.

The constant bombarding of references isn't enough to carry these many hours of following a plot that i don't really care about.

When you create something, you are filled with ideas. Some are good, others are bad and a few are terrible.

As a designer, your objective is to choose the ideas that will work better with whatever you are making, because if you put everything on it, you get this game.

This game is frustrating, because you see a good thing next to four terrible things. The game takes hours to be interesting and it has one of the most boring and dull endings I had seen in a while. Let's not focus on how due to the game filled with mechanics and genres, it ends with a basic and uninteresting combat as it main gameplay, just move and click to slash... nothing more, just slash.

On paper, a sequel to Evoland, which was itself a condensed, tight manifestation of the idea of paying tribute to the RPG genre, sounded pretty unnecessary to me. However, after taking what was supposed to be a short look at this game as part of the Legendary edition, my surprise could not have been greater.

Playtime: 24 hours, with 2/3rds of all collectable stars, equipment upgrades and special attacks acquired. All cards and opponents fought and beaten. Played as part of the Evoland Legendary Edition.

Pros:
+ a further development of its sequel central idea
+ the many genres and styles never stop being surprising...
+ ...and are competently implemented into a larger whole
+ gameplay gets more and more diverse towards the second halve
+ the more open structure of the second halve is
+ smart usage of the time travel concept
+ world maps are smartly designed and look great
+ the 16-bit action sequences are pretty great
+ puzzles are plentiful and rarely get frustrating
+ card game is engaging and a good motivation for exploration
+ the central quintet of heroes is engaging and sweetly written
+ the story holds more surprises than is apparent at first
+ the final boss is a real highlight and celebration of gaming as a whole

Cons:
- there is no run button!
- seriously, the movement speed is dreadfully slow and really drags down the action
- the pacing in the beginning is slow and the first dungeon feels unfinished
- team members' special attacks are too slow to regenerate
- the 3D gameplay sections extremely rough and unpolished
- level design and object placement often seems random and unclear
- technical performance on Switch is all over the place and buggy
- 2D pixel portraits look washed out and lack detail, especially docked
- jump physics in 2D feel weird and lead to frequent deaths
- instant-death spikes are pure frustration and unnecessary
- Sylph Forest dungeon is undeniably tedious
- genre tropes are overused and rarely parodied
- players unfamiliar with some of genres presented may have a tough time

Magic Moments: Playing a 2D vertical shooter out of nowhere and changing into a fighting game - Street Fighter special moves included - shortly after. Recognizing a certain laboratory as a direct reference to Chrono Trigger and having a great time with the combat system. Entering an awe-inspiring zone with curved space-time and solving puzzles in two different dimensions.

Verdict:
This game might be one of the biggest surprises in my gaming life. After the rough beginning hours and the badly designed first 3D dungeon, my finger was literally hovering over the "delete" button. Shortly after, however, I stumbled upon the card game and had a huge "Inscryption" flashback that motivated me enough to take a second look at the game and give it a chance. As a result, Evoland 2 slowly but surely evolved into a cornucupia of surprises that handles not only a sizable amount of genres and playstyles in remarkable fashion, but also tells a rather sweet story with sweet characters and a great final stretch.

The amount of surprises and fresh ideas are enough to get over the initial hump and the technical issues, and the less you know before playing, the better. So go and play it!

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,”

I went in completely blind (didn’t know the franchise, much less the premise) and Evoland 2 blew me completely away. It is an JRPG-style adventure game where you tackle an ancient evil, with the unique twist that you warp between gaming eras using powerful magi monoliths. Not only do you move through time, but you sample a medley of mechanics from video games, such as Chrono Trigger, Runner games, shoot ‘em ups, Bejeweled (Match 3), and Professor Layton. As others point out, you might not like each segment, and some of the more elongated scenes can get downright frustrating, but I know of no other game that have done a concept like this and kept it going throughout the game.

You will certainly get your money’s worth, it took me 23 hours to complete – over the span of nearly two weeks.

Evoland 2 isn’t a flawless game, the writing is inane at times, which actively harms the game’s exposition when it asks you to take it seriously. The parallel narrative (which I won’t spoil) isn't really compelling either, but you can forgive the sloppy writing after realizing its the quest that counts, and the friends you make along the way.

It baffles me how little documentation there is on this game, but this isn't Legend of Zelda. It's Evoland 2. And it's a long haul game just like the rest of 'em.

This is something that future games should model for, but as of right now, it's one of a kind and it's standing with its shoulders high as a result.

Siendo una secuela, se puede ver fácilmente la evolución desde el primer juego. Sin embargo, se siguen viendo problemas y puntos flacos, que no me dejan darle más de 3.5 estrellas.
La premisa e ideas son muy buenas, son originales y es una oda a otros tantos videojuegos clásicos. Las referencias se sienten frescas y no demasiado forzadas, y el juego incluso rompe la 4ª pared numerosas veces, algunas con más elegancia que otras. Las diferentes formas de jugar basadas en referencias a otros tantos juegos se agradecen y son lo que motiva a jugar, lo mejor de todo el juego (Chrono Trigger, Bullet Hell, Profesor Layton, Street Fighter...), es con diferencia lo mejor del juego y es lo que hace que valga la pena jugarlo. Incluso echo de menos más periodos así y menos etapas de puzzle a lo Zelda.

Entrando en los problemas, hay errores muy tontos; el personaje es extremadamente lento y torpe, no puede ser que un personaje de un juego de acción-aventura se maneje como el de Stardew Valley al combatir. Esto provoca que ciertos bosses sean artificialmente complicados. (Reno, Plum...) A eso súmale que algunos bosses se sienten poco testeados; de una fase fácil a otra absurdamente difícil. A partir de las alcantarillas hay un pico de dificultad muy prominente, que después vuelve a bajar. O juegas algunos bosses perfectamente, o mueres.
Además, muchas zonas se alargan en demasía, no es necesaria la duración del título; si dura alrededor de 15 horas si no te paras demasiado, zonas como el Bosque Sylph o algunas de las zonas en 2D (como parte de la recta final del juego) decaen.
La música es repetitiva y no destaca demasiado, pero tampoco se puede pedir mucho más, es cierto que algunos temas son bastante buenos.

La historia es mediocre, un poco cliché y los diálogos dan un poco de vergüenza de vez en cuando; se sienten infantiles, lo cual no es algo malo o que se pueda echar en cara, pero no logra dar el dramatismo que se nota que busca. En algunos puntos incluso da mucha vergüenza, como momentos en los que los diálogos parecen una historia de Wattpad o el típico fanfic. Quizás el tema de los viajes en el tiempo le queda un poco grande, aunque el juego lo maneja de forma tan simple que no crea muchos problemas.

Es un juego con una gran inestabilidad. Un momento demuestra mal diseño o poca revisión de los niveles (directamente poco testeo), y justo después te encuentras con algo de gran calidad para la época siendo indie. Por ejemplo, la parte del laboratorio está llena de referencias (Mewtwo, Alien Isolation..., bien diseñada, buena música y buen combate) pero justo antes tienes dos bosses mal diseñados e injustos, con la misma música y con peleas frustrantes. En definitiva un juego mejorable y algo largo para lo que ofrece, pero teniendo en cuenta el pequeño equipo que lo desarrollo y el valor que tiene su idea, supera el adjetivo de mediocre.

Apesar de Evoland 2 ser um ótimo jogo que com certeza a maior parte dos fãs do primeiro irão adorá-lo pelo nível de carinho e comprometimento da parte dos desenvolvedores em desenvolver algo bem mais aprofundado aqui (seja da sua Trama até as suas demais diferenças de Gameplay ao avançarmos no game), eu pessoalmente senti que o jogo se esticou demais ao ponto de deixar toda essa jornada monótona e cansativa que consequentemente me deixa com um pé atrás de jogá-lo de novo, além disso, o que mais me frustra de jogá-lo de novo é sem dúvidas o seu nível exagerado de Puzzles que não eram visto dessa maneira tão expressiva antes, direto você terá que parar para ou resolver algum quebra-cabeça ou tentar achar uma solução para uma questão estilo Enem da vida que realmente prejudicou muito a minha experiência de jogo por ser extensivamente chato e parado, mas claro, para aqueles que adoram esse estilo que obviamente não explica muito e que é lotado de Puzzles então é sem dúvidas uma boa pedida!

jogo é incrivelmente bom melhora tudo do primeiro graficos , historia, gameplay , variedade de personagens com carisma uma boa historia e com um bom jogo de carta que foi uma melhora comparado com o 1.

As referencias tmb são muito boas tipo a do fire emblem que eu achei que foi a melhor entre outras.não vou da muito spoiler. E teve referencia a chrono trigger já aumenta a nota do jogo.

Por fim joguem evoland 2 , mas lembre-se em um jogo meio longo(não muito) depende do seu ritmo gostosa(o)

I played this years ago and would say this is a much better game than the first one. it expanded on the previous one's idea and improved the story a lot. I also quite liked the ending as it was my first time experiencing something like that. While now I would say it was just good I still quite liked the experience. there were some nice references to other games, which I thought was nice. The gameplay was okay, but I don't remember much. I would recommend it if you like Zelda-like puzzle games, with unique ideas, a pretty good story and can handle slow beginning.

Un jeu très sympa qui se base sur le concept amusant de vivre une aventure dont le gameplay et le style graphique évolue a la manière dont le média du jeux vidéo a évolué depuis ça création. Les différentes sections du jeu ont donc chacune leur propre gameplay et leur propre graphismes malgré que tout se déroule sur la même map. On a donc droit a une abondance de gameplay qui se renouvelle constamment, le problème et ce qui empêche ce jeu d'être excellent et qu'une telle quantité impact la qualité. En effet si les gameplay proposés sont nombreux aucun d'eux n'est excellent et certaines sections peuvent même se révéler assez pénible, notamment un donjon dans lequel ont lieu des combats au tour par tour qui se lancent aléatoirement et qui sont assez ennuyeux. C'est un jeux ambitieux qui a regorge d'idées et d'amour pour le jeu vidéo mais qui malheureusement ne bénéficie pas des moyens nécessaires pour en faire un chef-d'oeuvre.

Evoland 2 es el predecesor que se merecía la original primera parte.
Una aventura que sin contar la historia más original del mundo te deja un notable juego con muchos pros y pocos peros.

Lo que no me ha gustado.
-Los paseos que hay que dar cada vez que necesitas hacer un cambio de era.
-El sistema de combates. Demasiado simplificado y aburrido.

Lo que me ha gustado.
-Todo lo relacionado con su mundo, personajes, localizaciones.
-Los cambios de era entre pasado, presente y futuro y con ello el cambio de jugabilidad y gráficos.
-El final.

Nota final: 8,5.
