    Sensational puzzle game, has left me wanting to continue experimenting with gravity changes. The visual style has captivated me, as has its soundtrack.

    I found this game to be a fun little puzzler, with a basic concept (explore and solve puzzles with gravity direction changing) that's well executed. The art and music are awesome, and, even though I didn't understand everything, it also has an interesting story.

    The only bad aspect is its duration: the game lasted about 2.5 hours for me. There's a "new game+" option once you finish it,    I found this game to be a fun little puzzler, with a basic concept (explore and solve puzzles with gravity direction changing) that's well executed.

    A very unique and interesting game. Well thought out puzzles and great soundtrack. Well worth your time.

    The design of the levels is superb. The "puzzles" of the game are the parts of the levels themselves, as you need to figure out how to change gravity in order to find the correct path that will let you continue and move on. The art and music are great and very atmospheric, and perfect to chill and immerse yourself in the game's world.

    I wouldn’t say I ever actively disliked any moment of my brief time with the game. The camera was occasionally annoying, but it never got too much in the way. There were a couple of jumps that were hard to judge based on the shifting perspective, but they were never impossible. Etherborn offers a pleasantly unmemorable hour or so, and if you don’t mind a game that’ll be out of your memory shortly after you’ve finished it, you could do a lot worse than experience it’s Escher-inspired trippiness.

    Etherborn is a dreamy trip of a body in search of its voice across beautifully crafted levels, supported by a soundtrack that is simply flawless. Plus you must solve some puzzles that toy with gravity. And that’s it - but honestly, this game doesn’t need anything else.

    Etherborn is worth it, because despite being a short game it is very fun. However, despite its interesting planning and its very well played gameplay, Etherborn "stays in the air", because it lacks some additional detail that can truly call the attention of those looking for a puzzle game that offers something new inside of that segment.
