Doesn't live up to Everhood 1

Good game overall but as a sequel to the first game it's somewhat of an underwhelming experience.
The two biggest cons I have is the overall story and repeat encounters. The story feels like it's made up of several different plots that don't really connect with each other and just do their own thing until they conclude with no impact on the overall story. This makes it feel like you're just going through random events for the majority of the game until it suddenly ends unlike the first one where you have a pretty obvious drive for both parts and it leads to a pretty satisfying finale imo. I'm also not a fan of being able to miss certain segments of the story depending on how good/bad you play.
As for the repeat encounters they just suck. The first game was special because each fight was a unique experience and the second half changed up how they played when you redo them. This one has a lot generic enemies in certain areas that you end up re-fighting constantly and as a result they have to have short, lame, unmemorable songs that really diminishes a mostly good soundtrack and ruins the pacing.
I still like most of the music, the gameplay is a nice improvement, most of the characters are still interesting, and I love the artstyle so I can definitely recommend giving it a buy.

good game, bad sequel
