Random Video Game Review - Everything (the game and not literally everything)

Its not uncommon to find games like this and despite what the title is, having everything in a game can be seen as impossible and you wouldn't be wrong in saying that. But just the idea of being able to control anything and everything just seems like a good time waiting to happen. So a bunch of indie developers created that very game and that is what we are looking at today. So let's see how many things there are in this game:


So like Minecraft, the game has a procedurally generated world and you can control many objects within it. Start off small and then go big with each thing you control makes the game shift in scale. Everything you control gets put into an in-game encyclopedia like most games would do and one goal is to complete said encyclopedia after which you can then start New Game Plus and start from any being rather than something small. Throughout the game, quotes are given to you by philosopher Alan Watts (who also appears in the Oscar worthy game trailer) and its well presented too.

While the game is very simple and not too hard to get to grips with, its also a welcome change to something more demanding like in many triple A games so its a nice if not easy change of pace. It does let you control a lot of things though not everything and most things will just flip rather than move naturally which is fine. A good chilled experience and one that won't be beaten anytime soon. 8/10
