    Love Eternal blends demanding gravity-based platforming with an unsettling, abstract horror narrative that lingers long after it ends. Its short runtime keeps the challenge intense while delivering a story that feels strange, emotional, and deliberately open to interpretation. It is the kind of experience that may frustrate you in the moment but rewards you with imagery and ideas that are hard to shake.

    LOVE ETERNAL is a game that I wouldn't play for long, but the combination of beautiful minimalist art, deep environmental sound, an intriguing fantastical horror story, and stages with a truly rewarding feeling makes it a precious gem that deserves your attention.

    An odd and somewhat terrifying backstory paired with some brutal gravity-inverting platforming.

    Love Eternal is an experience that lingers, with a story that can be interpreted in many ways depending on your own views. It's both unnerving and tough, which will appeal to those who enjoy the challenge of precision platformers, but it may prove frustrating to those with slower reactions than the game demands.

    It’s engaging, challenging, disturbing and full of intense storytelling. For gamers who persist through the adventure, you’ll find a unique experience that’s unforgettable. Just don’t expect to sleep well after you roll credits.

    The platforming elements of Love Eternal are delightfully frustrating fun with a limited set of mechanics put to creative and clean use. Multiple levels had me holding my breath, gritting my teeth, and cursing the wayward god who founded the whole endeavour. The hand-drawn levels are as beautiful as their challenges are frustrating. Unfortunately, an overly ambitious narrative coupled with a strange mid-game shift mars the game's myriad charms.
