Aug 8, 2024While the writing is a little generic and the voice acting isn’t perfect, Eden Genesis still has a considerable amount of charm. Some voice acting is much better than the rest, so most characters' voices will be hit or miss. It's still fun to see the story unfold, but during some periods of the game, the writing can start to be a drag or might just not click for you. Eden Genesis is still a fun game to play and the gameplay loop is top-notch. The trials we are given to complete start easy, but grow into legitimate challenges that will take many tries when you're looking to get the best rank possible.

Aug 7, 2024And still, having just two types of testing sessions fails to infuse the game with interactive diversity, with the combat levels always less engaging than the agility variants. There’s also a dull QTE hacking minigame that can be eased through a settings option, and would be better off left out entirely. Eden Genesis could have benefited from some edits – both in terms of its verbose meandering script and its level design – and never quite gels into a satisfyingly sweaty platformer or a clever action experience. Leaderboard hunters will love the options at hand, but the rest will find this worth waiting for a sale, at best.

Aug 5, 2024Eden Genesis wants us to become no-hitters speedrunners, but the controls are not as precise and satisfactory as a game of these characteristics demands. Even so, lovers of great challenges and trying a thousand times until reaching perfection have a new pool of hours here.
