    10 hours of gameplay! Gorgeous! We are talking about a team of 10 people who have made a product with heart and mind and a boundless love for old generation jrpg. Music, combat and sets are beautiful, colorful and inspired, even the English dubbing amazed me with its quality! Congratulations to this small team that I hope has more budget in the future to give us a perfect Jrpg. The10 hours of gameplay! Gorgeous!

The only flaws I find concern the camera that occasionally does strange things, and the protagonists' facial animation, which at times seems a bit out of context. But for now what to say. WHAT A GREAT GAME… Expand

    You have to be aware, that this game was created by a small team with a small budget. Therefore it won't compete with AAA titles.

    For what it is, this game is awesome. Some people here criticise the characters and story, but I absolutely disagree. The characters are interesting and have more characters than in your run of the mill JRPG. A main character that is a bit sassy is a refreshing breath of fresh air, when you consider most main characters in JRPGs are either the nice guy or the quite guy, that barely talks. Also the other characters are interesting and you often whitness some funny scenes.
    The overall story might not be exceptional, but it keeps you going.

    The battle system is the best thing about this game. It's addictive and a wellcome change from the occasional button masher. You can try different tactics with different skills and the game even rewards you for doing so, because you have some special objectives in most fights, and you get some bonus items or money when you complete them. Also it is very important to plan ahead and pick the right build. And the variety of gems and equipment really helps. It's really motivating to try different combinations and craft gems, to get even stronger gems, with better skills.

    Another plus are the multitude of customizations. It might be a bit overwhelming at first, how many options you have, to customize the game, but once you find out what everything does, you can create your own individual game experience. You can set the difficulty of the fights, how party and enemylevel scale, if saving everywhere is enabled or not, if you can teleport, how far the camera will be from your characters and of course you can also adjust the battle speed to your liking.

    The downside of this game is, that it has a lot of technical limitations. For example you will experience some framerate drops, the graphic can't compete with big AAA or even AA titles. The way you interact with characters and objects is sometimes weird, because you don't interact with the thing you face, but with the nearest thing to you, even if its behind you.

    If you are able to look past the technical problems of this game you will get a real hidden gem. What it tries to do, it does right. It creates an interesting world with a lot of lore, with loveable characters and a great battle system. And most of all it tries something all the big studios don't do anymore. It creates an JRPG like in the golden age and scratches an itch I've had for a long time.
    And in the end what matters is, what you receive for your money. And I got a lot of great hours out of this game, for a small price. That's why I rate this game 9/10.    … Expand

    Edge of Eternity is a game that is a love song to famous jrpgs like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean and Xenoblade. Edge of Eternity is made by a very small studio and let's give them credit here I mean they had like 10 people working on this game and looks very artistic in a way of different settings across the game map and boy it does shine here. You get sparkling woods, giant mushrooms..likeEdge of Eternity is a game that is a love song to famous jrpgs like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean and Xenoblade. Edge of Eternity is made by a very small studio and let's give them credit here I mean they had like 10 people working on this game and looks very artistic in a way of different settings across the game map and boy it does shine here. You get sparkling woods, giant mushrooms..like Morrowind mushrooms, deserts and snow hill tops and coastal beaches. This is one of the big plus here however the game has its problems. Big towns seems to have fps drops on the ps5. I understand it was made by small dev team but the fps drops needs patching crashed on me 5 times in the first large town. However the devs seemed to abandoned the game it's been a couple years since the game came out and definitely there are a few things I want to point out. Outfits are missing for whatever reason the menu will have a outfit slot in the main menu but the game doesn't have that in the game to buy to change your clothes. Gameplay is a standard turn-based rpg. Giving the nature of it the game has decent quality here. Not flashy nor terrible its decent with magic spells.

    Voice acting is a hit or miss on how you look at it.

    Soundtrack is extremely well done here the familiar sounds of Xenoblade, Chrono Cross and Trigger as at work here great soundtrack of the ps1 and ps2 era. Overall the game is a great love song to many rpgs and jrpgs it's a great game with likeable characters even though the animation movement seems cartoonish. Okay voice acting, gorgeous graphics however pop ins is annoying. Despite a few and major flaws I wish the devs continued to support this game I mean outfits are a missing feature is a shame too. Fps drops in big large cities needs a fix here so much fps drops. My score is an 8 for how fun the game can be there is a hidden gem somewhere in the game.    … Expand

    Edge of Eternity has cool ideas and a world that could be very amazing, but it seems that Midgard Studios didn't know how to handle the technical part of the open world very well and all that immersion seems to have died in the presentation trailer.

    There’s no denying that Edge of Eternity certainly has a rough quality about it, and I could easily see people viewing its slow beginning as being too much of an obstacle to continue with it. But its robust, tactical-minded nexus battle system, wealth of content, and the eventual pick up of its story gradually warmed me to it. This was clearly a labor of love by the developers, even if it isn’t a perfect product. I enjoyed Edge of Eternity enough that I can only hope that there will be some kind of continuation to Daryon and Selene’s tale in the future… With plenty of Ysoris, of course!

    It's impossible to recommend Edge of Eternity for purchase, even given the relatively cheap price the title has. But if you really want to play this game, just try it on through Game Pass subscription.
