#Bizarre rhythm-RPG follow-up Everhood 2 launches in March – Destructoid

Heat up your tapping toes, Overseas Gnomes has introduced that the sequel to Chris Nordgren and Jordi Roca’s 2021 musical RPG, Everhood shall be releasing quickly on PC and Swap. Everhood 2 is ready to launch on March 4, 2025.

Everhood was one of many first video games I reviewed as a full-ish employees member at Destructoid. I didn’t find it irresistible! Whereas a number of what I cited as an issue in my assessment was technical associated, the reality is that there was a narrative thematic later within the sport that I discovered to be, um, problematic. However it’s buried so deep in there that I’d have needed to spoil quite a bit to have actually gone into it in depth.

Nonetheless, I did point out different issues like weak characters and the truth that it tries to drag the subversive pretend ending nonsense approach too many occasions. I don’t take into consideration Everhood fairly often today, and I’ve misplaced fairly a couple of specifics in my reminiscence, however I nonetheless bear in mind the final points I’ve with it.

Then again, I don’t suppose it was a nasty sport. It confirmed promise, and I believe that might be delivered on in a sequel. Storytelling is a talent that may be constructed, in spite of everything, and the gameplay was fairly rad. Numerous it was like Guitar Hero, however as a substitute of strumming the notes, you keep away from them. Twists would continually get thrown in alongside the best way, and it might get fairly intense.

The main points on the narrative are a bit laborious to comply with. It appears that evidently you’ll be enjoying an avatar of your self, and also you’re “on a quest to slay the mysterious Thoughts Dragon earlier than the world decays.” All proper. It guarantees over 100 songs and can final 8-10 hours. That’s, like, 2 ½ minutes per music. I’ve a calculator right here. Besides there’s probably strolling and speaking to folks in between, in order that’s not going to be correct. And even helpful. You’re welcome.

Everhood will launch on PC and Swap on March 4, 2025.
