The best creative games inspire that creativity by having some innate flavour of their own, though.

Some personality that inspires you to lean in, or nudge it in some other direction.

By comparison, the new trailer forEverywhere, seems like metaversal porridge.

A purple-haired woman in a Dreamworks Animation circa 2007 style looks at the camera.

“What if we could build a world?

What would we do if we could start again?”.

Meanwhile, everything shown in the game suggests the answer is: nothing original or interesting.

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.

Everywhere is in development by Build A Rocket Boy, the studio founded by former Rockstar executive Leslie Benzies.

It got atrailer earlier this year.

I hope I’m wrong!
