Do I need to play the first game before?

[MCPuuugs]

Title

[Groversoup]

Not necessarily but you will definitely get more out of it having played the first (which is also just really good)

[Kougyoku]

nope

[Fennec of Light]

You absolutely do *need* to play the first game before this one. I don't want to spoil anything, but you will understand why

[Crews]

No, however if you like surprises play the first game before the 2nd.

[FlutterFeet Fetish]

It would give you some context to why's everything the way it is, but ultimately there's almost no tie to what happens in the first game

[Aumires]

Not at all. There's a section in the game that's cute if you did. It's irrelevant though.

[crushedbug]

Yes you need to. If you do not play the first game then gnomes will personally go at your home and shoot you on the head on your sleep.

This is just straight up a lie. As there is a section late in the game that is directly connected.

ALMOST no tie. As if that section had any significance to the story

What story lol?

Lot of people here are avoiding the question so they can feel better about themselves over nothing.
Ignore the misdirection. Both that which has already happened above and that which I am invariably going to be replied to with.
This game is meant to be played after the first. It is technically not "required," but its combat structure, gameplay mechanics, themes and world are designed specifically for players who have a familiarity with the first. If at all possible, it is strongly recommended.

[Dobious]

Yes, and no.

The gameplay and the story don't require you to have played the first one but there are some story nods to the original and the difficulty curve does somewhat pick up from the previous game.

I'd absolutely recommend you play the first game, not just for the sake of playing Everhood 2 but because the first game is a blast and a great experience.

[Nukular Power]

This game is fun but shallow (or so it felt to me.) The first game is fantastic plotwise. Definitely worth playing whether or not you play this one

[MANEATER]

Everyone is dancing around the fact that you directly return to the world of Everhood 1 at some point during Everhood 2. And I don't think this specific trip through Everhood 2's multiverse would make much sense or have as much impact if you haven't played the first game.

It's more fanservice than anything major (I hesitate to emphasize anything that happens in Everhood 2 as major or meaningful in any way), but I don't think it would make sense to jump into EH2 without playing EH.

Also, Irvine and Sam, two of the main characters in EH2, are minor characters in EH1. It doesn't matter much, but I think it's nice to encounter them in EH1 first.

SPOILER Don't read if you didn't finished the first and second game.























Technically in the second chapter when we return to the map of the first everhood we meet Yellow that we have to kill and those who played the first title know well that inside there was Pink protagonist who had been transferred into the body from Orange to see if in a possible future a permanent solution had been found. So yes if you played the first chapter reconnect this thing in the second understanding who you are facing and giving a little peace in the cinema after that fight.
