VICE’s Shaun Cichacki had a life-altering experience with Everhood 2, the Unconventional Action RPG (UARPG) sequel to one of 2021’s best-reviewed indie games with over 600,000 units sold, out now on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. The sequel to the psychedelic journey of self-discovery left quite the impression on Cichacki, who “Strongly Recommended” the title:
What began as a charming little pixel art RPG started cutting deep into my soul, asking me questions about my humanity and worldview. It’s very strange. Everhood 2 inquired about the color of my soul, and then quickly turned into one of the most wild audio/visual experiences I’ve ever had. And honestly? I loved every moment.
…many of the songs from Everhood 2 have been playing in rapid succession back to back within the cavern of my mind. Its pounding, electronic synth beats are some of the most impressive I’ve found, regardless if it’s in a video game or a standard album that I’ve listened to. Even if you don’t decide to play the game, for whatever reason? At least give the soundtrack a listen.
