Evoland 1 was very disappointing for me to play. It did not utilize the feature of backtracking game development in a great way. It was mainly used to go between trees and such. The story was just a final fantasy parody, which meant the entire game felt very unserious. While this is sometimes okay it meant that this game did not give me any motivation to finish it. The gameplay itself is very very basic, it feels like the game hinges it's success off of the parody and comedy which for me is not enough to enjoy it. I only finished it because it was so short, if it was longer I feel like I would get bored and drop it. There's not much for me to say in this, I barely even can recall the story.
