did everhood need a sequel? i don't personally think so. it was relatively well contained and didn't feel like it needed expanding upon. with that said, i still really like everhood 2. well, except for a major detail, more on that a little bit below.

biggest change (that i am a fan of) is the combat, pushing it to be more rpg-like opposed to the first's game adventure vibe. i think it works well compared to the first game and serves as a nice foil. where it gets crazier is the story : 1 definitely had a thread of thought going, and 2 does absolutely not follow the same line, playing more with an extended universe rather than focusing on the exact things 1 does.

so given all of that and how wildly different everhood 2 is in terms of story, it's not too surprising most people are relatively lukewarm on it or consider it inferior, especially because of a single massive thing no one or nothing tells you about : collecting the damn weapons. oh sorry you didn't collect them? go back to the beginning of the game and do it all over again. without going too in details about the rest, i still think it's fine and fun, but this really soured my experience!!!! even if you can wear a hot dog hat and even if soundtrack bangs!!!

like the first game however please don't even consider it if you are photosensitive!
