A classic RPG of which you've probably had shoved down your throat enough by now. Earthbound undeniably has improved gameplay from the original, but is a step down when it comes to the writing, soundtrack and atmosphere in my opinion. Earthbound tries to be even quirkier but it ends up feeling a little too insincere and forced, something that wasn't a problem with the first game. On the other hand, this game is still leagues above the trash indie RPGs that are inspired by it like Underfail.
