Everything Reviews
Despite its almost complete lack of traditional gameplay concepts, Everything still manages to offer enough of a hook that it should avoid the more pedantic corners of the gaming community concerned about what is truly a game.
Fanciful gameplay meets philosophical discoure - Everything is a small masterpiece in spite of its rocky start.

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.
What you get out of Everything will depend entirely on you. You may get bored within minutes just as easily as you could spend hours wandering around alien continents as a slice of pizza. I'm not sure it can be described as fun in a traditional sense, and it sometimes feels like you are being forced to sit through through a complex lecture mixed with a dash of group therapy, but other times it can be utterly hilarious as you make baby tractors by dancing.
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 is an undefinable game in which we can literally control 'everything' we see. The new product made by David OReilly is an exaltation of senses and freedom, beauty and wonder.

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.
Effective (probably) if not completely unorthodox, and it only works as intended, whatever that intention is, a few times.
Everything can't be described as a game, it is a journey made by the mind of David OReilly, a pure experience of about it is the meaning of our life.

"A game, an art performance or just philosophical rambling? Hard to say."
