    If you're coming in looking for a storyline rich in atmosphere and style, something bathed in immersion, something fresh, you will not be disappointed.

    A fun, visually captivating game.

    As a whole, Core has once again stepped off the beaten path to give a gameplay experience that few other games can touch.

    A few minor annoyances, like poor enemy AI and some puzzles that seem almost too difficult keep it from a higher score, but if you’re looking for a game you can invest some time in and not feel like you came away with nothing, welcome to Eden.

    As a shooter it is lacking, as an adventure it has intrigue and numerous challenges.

    Though it too often strays into an underdeveloped and unsatisfying combat system, when it sticks to adventure, it's quite successful.

    I got hooked on the neat puzzle-solving, just as if I was playing one of my favorite classic adventures, and that alone can be a rewarding enough gaming experience.

    The attempt to put an emphasis on "adventure" in this "action/adventure" is most commendable; as is the use of a party with different skills.

    A ripping good time.
  11. Adrenaline Vault

    An uneven experience -- above average when it comes to puzzles and level design, and below average when it comes to combat and artificial intelligence.
  12. Computer Games Magazine

    While everything doesn't quite pull together as well as it should, there is enough here to interest anyone that enjoys cunning design and challenging puzzles.
  13. Game Revolution

    Delivers a nice diversion for those who like to sit back and solve some quiet puzzles without having to deal with an engrossing story or hectic action.

    It’s not as polished as we’d like it to be, but it still has that “one more level” draw that keeps you going past midnight. [Jan 2002, p.90]

Avec la version PC, même si ça marche pas sur 7, aucun souci sur XP y compris jusqu'au... 1080p ! beau (enfin, assez beau pour son temps...) et parfaitement fluide à 60 im/s : ça va mieux !

    Le problème néanmoins persiste et reste là, devant vous : c'est un jeu Core Design (heureusement disparu depuis...) à savoir les branques qui ont démoulé régulièrement les Dumb Raider... or, ces daubes ont toujours manqué à la fois de la jouabilité la plus élémentaire et de l'amusement le plus primaire parce que... ce sont des daubes !

    Si Core Design délaisse sa Lara polygonée pour une espèce de jeu d'aventure à tendance SF avec quatre clampins, il garde ses mauvaises habitudes de non-jeu, de lourdeur(s) et d'ennui rapidement très rapide. La manette est théoriquement supportée mais ça reste très théorique alors que les menus et les polices énormes n'ont pas été modifiés depuis la version PS2.

    Quoi qu'il en soit, à force de tourner en rond ou de savoir ce qu'il faut faire dans ce merdier, on a plus vite fait de désinstaller cet énième daube de Core Design (heureusement disparu depuis...).    … Full Review »

    Just what I've been looking for, a FPS style game that taxes the brain and lets you play with a friend through the main story.
