At the end of the game (I’m not spoiling anything I promise) there’s a message that asks the player “How did this game make you feel?” And my only answer is… content. I didn’t need this game’s message about the nature of death or anything like that. Nor did it change my life. It just made me feel really content. Which is something I really appreciate. And it also has a really fun combat system. The combat of Everhood was truly one of a kind, it’s simple in its idea, but its execution is very complex. It leads to very interesting battles that I was always invested in. In short if the combat looks fun to you. You’ll like it… probably.

The only objective problem I had with the game was the amount of flashing lights which almost made me refund the game. Thankfully there are ways to mitigate this, there are settings to adjust to make this less of an issue. A more subjective problem is that the replay value that this game offers isn’t necessarily something I enjoy. Lots of “Do this fight but without getting hit” and stuff. Those sorts of things don’t personally interest me.

BUT DON’T LET MY FEW NEGATIVES DETRACT YOU FROM BUYING THIS ONE

Everhood is a delightful game that made me feel content with its story and the role that I played in it and… Maybe it made me feel a little content with myself too.

It’s worth your time. I promise you. 4.5/5
