    There is nothing like this game. It is so amazing that it is so sad that the controls and camera make this unplayable.

    I'm confused. I'm not at all against the idea of an intoxicating brew of both philosophy and science. i believe I have an open mind in regards to 'interactive experiences'.

    But after a few hours of rolling around, forming and unforming a group of similar creatures, growing from a radiation wave to a galaxy amidst the glory of spectacularly blurry and unimpressive aesthetics, I found    I'm confused.

    This is a tech demo masquerading as a game. And not a very interesting/fun one.    … Expand

    Everything is one of those games that is only barely a game. The gameplay is extremely simple – you are some sort of magical thought shine thingy that can transfer itself between bodies, hence the name “Everything”, because you can transfer yourself between everything in the game. If you are in a particularly large thing, you can transfer yourself back up a level, to a more macroscopicEverything is one of those games that is only barely a game. The gameplay is extremely simple – you are some sort of magical thought shine thingy that can transfer itself between bodies, hence the name “Everything”, because you can transfer yourself between everything in the game. If you are in a particularly large thing, you can transfer yourself back up a level, to a more macroscopic level, and if you are in a particularly small thing, you can transfer yourself downwards, to a more microscopic level. Bigger and bigger, you control continents, then planets, then galaxies; smaller and smaller, you go down to the size of small things (think pennies and grass), then microscopic things (mites, bacteria, viruses), then subatomic things…

    And if you keep going, you loop around to the other end.

    There are no enemies in this game; the game has no meaningful challenge. The goal of the game, such as it is, is to just explore and collect thoughts until you unlock the next power – making yourself bigger and smaller (within a world), cloning yourself, singing, forming groups, ect. There’s no real point, but there is a certain progression, at the end of which you eventually complete a goal and then… well, you can keep on going.

    The thing is, there’s really no “point” to this game; the game is nothing more than just wandering around body swapping and going up and down levels, while “talking” to various things to hear their thoughts and listen to some lectures which are, frankly, both rather pretentious and not all that interesting (though I suspect some people who are more into deep-sounding stuff that isn’t really all that deep will be more into it).

    There is really nothing fun about this “game”; the only “challenges” are hunting for the achievements. And indeed, you can simply let the game sit there and autoplay to get many of the achievements.

    I’d recommend against buying this game, and honestly, I’d recommend against playing it at all, even if you already do own it; it just isn’t worth your time. It may seem artsy, but in reality, it is quite boring, and there is no payoff at the end of it.    … Expand

    Not sure what this "game" is about, if it can even be called one. There is no point/objective in this game. The only "aim" is perhaps to collect all the stuff in the world, but the process is very boring. The only thing to do in this game is to move around or ascend/descend then search for stuff you haven't met before, rinse and repeat. I like philosophy but I don't see any connectionNot sure what this "game" is about, if it can even be called one. There is no point/objective in this game.

    This is not a game. This is lazy tech demo with horrible controls and bunch of text. Author have no idea how a game should look like and how to make games.

    It's not a game. Really strange thing. For whom that was invented?! Time for nothing. Maybe that product for relax... But not sure. It's very strange.

    La daube indé du jour est un gros étron prétentieux bricolé par un cave dans ses chiottes alors qu'il poussait très fort : il fléchiessait et ré-fléchiessait à un con-cept de sale jeu de merde, puis euréka, il se dit qu'il allait démouler du rien et l'appeler "tout" !

    Cet invité VIP des dîners du mercredi soir était très fier de son "environnement" numérique tout en 3 dimensions ! évidemment en 16 couleurs mais c'est déjà du boulot abattu, l'air de rien ! et quelle direction pas artistique et quelle audace, quelle innovation de faire déplacer une vache qui culbute sur elle-même et qui peut faire "meuh" quand on appuie sur un bouton !

    C'est un "géééniiie" cet homme-là, en témoigne la musique con-posée par toute une compagnie d'ascenseurs en panne ! les points d'exclamation me manquant pour euh... "décrire" cette expérience unique qui a révolutionné le monde du jeu vidéo et accessoirement de l'univers fabuleux des étrons indés pas frais !

    Plutôt que de faire un jeu ou un semblant de jeu ou même un ersatz, faisons... rien ! tout est dans le con-cept, c'est merdeveilleux ! c'est donc du "rien" qui s'appelle "tout", un sous-produit qui ne fait rien et ne sert à rien.    … Expand

    Everything is an impressive, extensive and all-embracing ... interactive application at the first place. The game occupies the second place. Let yourself drift on the waves of science and philosophy and try to create an unparalleled world. However, it is not entirely guaranteed that you will enjoy it.

    Everything is not for everyone. It’s one part art-house film, one part nature documentary, one part guided meditation. While easily approached and casually consumed, it’s a game that nevertheless wants more from you, a game that asks you to quietly reflect on yourself and your place in the Cosmos. Engage and you may discover one of your favorite games of 2017. If not? Well, it’s at least unique, and uniquely ambitious.

    Funny, philosophical, and deeply, deeply weird, there’s nothing else quite like Everything on PC.
