Does Citizens of Earth Do the EarthBound Legacy Justice?

GameCrate: "Since the launch of Citizens of Earth, I’ve noticed a mixed buzz from the community in regards to its EarthBound influence. Some folks genuinely enjoy it and appreciate the differences, while others think it’s too cheesy and over-the-top. If you’ve played Citizens of Earth, then you’ve likely noticed that, despite a few similarities, the game is very much its own thing and really only emulates EarthBound in conceptual terms. Quite frankly, that’s probably the best thing Eden Industries could have done."
