Time For A New World | EVERYWHERE Official Reveal Trailer 2023
Perhaps it’s the grandiose voiceover that’s really rankled me. “What if we could build a world? What would we do if we could start again?”. Such big questions! Such grand promise! Meanwhile, everything shown in the game suggests the answer is: nothing original or interesting. Fortnite character designs? A city of white plastic and neon lights, like we’re living on the surface of a PlayStation 5? An almost immediate admission that the primary verb in any of these spaces is “shoot”?
These are, I admit, impressions based on a trailer. For all I know, Everywhere’s creative tools could be robust, flexible, a joy to use. This is not a review and I am not writing anything off - but these are my honest thoughts based on watching the marketing they released to make Everywhere seem enticing.
It’s a relief thatEverywhere is not a blockchain or NFT game, but it still looks to be chasing an exhausting trend with little to set it apart. I hope I’m wrong! Perhaps we’ll find out when the closed alpha launches,which you can sign-up for via the official site.
