    Even though that narrative isn't quite of a quality we want to see, it's a step forward for the new franchise, and after the bugs are fixed up, Evoland 2 will be a whole lot of simple, but effective, fun.

    Evoland 2 is a pretty good Zelda-style game with mediocre pieces and parts of other games mixed in; it doesn't reinvent the wheel but pays homage to the wheels that came before it.

    A fun homage to older games, Evoland 2 relies too much on nostalgia effect to fully explore it’s fun initial concept.

    Evoland 2 has a little bit of everything. Whilst it’s not un-proficient at the many genres it tackles, it is unfortunately all ripped from other, better games.

    Evoland 2 came up with a good way of integrating its graphical changes into the narrative, and succeeds at being a full-fledged game that shifts between the eras of RPGs.

    A visually appealing but ultimately trite series of references to much better games.

    It’s clear that the developers have a lot of reverence for old games, but the work on the actual gameplay just doesn’t do well enough to pass on why we should feel the same. Instead you’re just going from one lesser version of a genre to another, a clear example of when less is more.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Whilst Evoland was a straight-up pisstake of the RPG genre, Evoland 2 does something genuinely impressive by juggling both being a pisstake of most game genres and actually being quite good in all of those genres. One minute it's a topdown RPG, the next you're doing a puzzle a la Professor Layton, later you're doing stealth, and after that it becomes a Metroidvania - and this is all in the first two hours. It's fantastic and I would reccommend it any day.… Full Review »

Although loses some part of the charm of the game technology progression that's more a punctual factor in Evoland 2.
    Instead it focuses more in sections with mechanics from different game genres. That's fun and surprising but it's also easy that one or more of this game sections are annoying as nobody likes the same type of games. Too long and not super well implemented sections also helps some of these parts become annoying.

    Out of this specific sections or mini-games the game is 90% a standard RPG, with many details that resembles already existing games.
    Overall a good RPG with a good and long story, some humor and that's fun to play.    … Full Review »
