Do you want to know what it feels like to feel? Everhood is an absolutely fantastic meld of two genres that have been mimicked yet not perfected in their recreations: Undertale's (to an extent, Earthbound's) zany world filled with peculiarly lovable NPC's and sharp humour, and Guitar Hero's side to side music based note playing. That sound weird to you? It should. This game nails it! I picked up the game because I thought the trailer music seemed pretty great, and the visuals looked nice, but lo and behold I was in for an emotional, tear jerking story through a 10-11 hour experience. You play D&D, run through a 2.5 hour hallway (if you want,) and dance with some trippy gnomes. No real explanation can do this game justice, it's something I wish I could experience blind again. Just like in Undertale, the characters you meet will all leave an impact on you, and the bittersweet finale will take you for a sad spin. You'll meet frogs who play guitar, angry ATM's, and listen to some funky music. So far Everhood is easily my GOTY 2021.

Rock on Everhood.
