My playtime: 26h 40m (i 100% it). If you grow in 90s, you better buy this game for nostalgia. If you didn't grow up in 90s, you better buy this game for the awesomeness. Yes, this is how great this game is. A truly masterpiece from what i have played in years. Evoland 2 places itself in a unique setting, in a time between past and future, the present, with a device which allows you to travel between time. The unique thing in this game is, there are many different genres in this game, such as: action (Zelda), turn based (FF), platformer (Megaman), fighting (Tekken), shooter/bullet hell, to even as simple as pong! Unlike other time travelling games, there are a lot of difference in this game, mainly in graphics. The graphics used in the past is using the 8-bit 2D graphics, the present is using 16-bit 2D graphics, and the future? It's in 3D, although the graphic quality isn't as good as other AAA titles. Although i said that it's using 8-bit graphics, it's not as bad as the old games. It's actually better than those. It's surprising on how the artist put in an effort to make every map looks differently, especially on some asset which changed or moved between the times. If you have played Evoland (the first serie), you should know about the lack of story in that game. You don't have to worry about it on this game because the story is what makes it part of the game. There are even some mystery surrounding the story that needs some thinking which raises some speculations around about what happened. There are some reused music from Evoland, but since the music is very good, i don't mind on listening it again. The other music is very pleasant to hear, which is bringing up the atmosphere in the map you are in, and you will have a chance to listen to some retro music style! Pros: - Various genre - 3 different maps (past, present, future) +1 other - Card mini game is back! - Upgradeable equipment Cons: - Long delay between timeline travel - Some genre isn't replayable
