Even in the west, Neon Genesis Evangelion goes beyond almost every other anime in terms of its popularity and influence; this is only set to grow with the recent release of the series on Netflix. This got me thinking - where are all the Evangelion games? Turns out there's a bunch, and despite almost all of them releasing exclusively in Japan, curiosity got the better of me. Action RPGs, visual novels, fighters, a strange rhythm game produced by Suda51... join me in this review/analysis as I attempt to figure out what it takes to turn this beloved show into a game.

While uploading this video I decided to see if anyone else had done anything on the Eva games—my Spanish is absolutely rubbish but from the little I can understand this dude Dinocov covers some similar talking points regarding the N64 game, so might be worth checking out (any similarities are entirely unintended—lo siento Dinocov!): youtube.com/watch?v=Zqb5zzWNYRk
