Everything

Everything is a grand experiment that manages to inspire and disappoint in equal measure.

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

This is an exceptional piece of fantasy fiction, a metamorphosis machine, a toy, a game like no other. It's a work of deep imagination, humor and thoughtfulness. Everything held me captive for many hours, and will continue to do so. It's brave, bizarre, compelling and beautiful.

The controls take some getting used to, but Everything is easy to understand and play

This persistence in spite of everything is Everything's strength, but it is also to its detriment. It can begin to feel fairly lonely to exist in a universe which isn't affected by your existence, or your changes.

I can only hope that "Everything," opens the door for more philosophical games; it is the rare game that may push you to want to lead a better life.

By throwing out most of Spore's traditional mechanics in favour of a cross between Katamari Damacy and Nested, Everything gets closer to sublimity. And though I don't think it gets all the way there – not for me, not right now – the silliness is constant and delightful.

Everything feels to me like a mellow, less aggressive take on Katamari Damacy or Noby Noby Boy, a curious, reflective novelty that, for players in the right kind of mindset, can spark something profound.

Maybe it was that little touch, or maybe it was the fact that I was a bleary-eyed mess playing the game at 4 AM, but I felt so connected to… everything.

Everything is not for everyone, and thus it's a hard game to score. This existential experience is not quite as pretentious as it appears to be, but it will still leave you mindful of your worth to the world – and the universe as a whole. Honestly, if you've ever found yourself enchanted by the sheer scale of space itself, then this game does an incredible job of communicating that through rudimentary interactivity alone.
