    I have no hesitation in recommending Edge of Eternity. It is a huge game, but more importantly, it has an epic story to be told. The combat system has some nice touches which keeps it fresh, and the crafting is deep and immersive. This is a game that many will be playing for days and weeks on end, with Midgar Studios needing praise for creating something special.

    Edge of Eternity is a true love letter to the JRPGs of the late nineties, an ambitious title that seeks to modernize a classic formula without distorting it. The end result is an imperfect role-playing game, but still capable of entertaining and exciting the player thanks to an engaging combat system and a first-class script, along with a top-quality soundtrack. Surely capable of satisfying the lovers of the genre.

    Tiens, étrangement, cette daube est française… je dis « étrangement », car il s’agit ni plus ni moins que d’un Final Fientasy à petit budgetTiens, étrangement, cette daube est française… je dis « étrangement », car il s’agit ni plus ni moins que d’un Final Fientasy à petit budget avec un combat au tour par tour très limité et ennuyeux, copié sur les vieux Final Fientasy et autres japoniaiseries qui se sont faites passer pour des « jeux de rôle » (les J-RPG comme on les appelle !).

    Ce n’est pas que le combat cela dit, tout le reste de ‘Edge of Eternity’ est aussi copié ou inspiré de ces vieilles fientes moisies des (soit-disant) jeux de rôle japoniais comme les Fientasy finales etc, etc… L’histoire pue du bec (si on peut appeler une connerie aussi générique, une « histoire » !), les personnages sont niais et navrants, les dialogues (uniquement en anglais) affligeants et le monde est dans l’ensemble de fort mauvais goût, clinquant et grotesque à la fois.

    L’interface est (elle aussi !) héritée des merdes japoniaises et se révèle bien peu pratique à l’usage ; notons qu’on ne peut sauvegarder qu’à des endroits très précis… comme dans les jeux japonais du même acabit… et ne parlons pas des musiques d’ascenseur : encore du copié-collé ! Enfin, graphiquement très inégal, cette daube propose un mode performance sur Series X mais reste incapable de maintenir ses 60 im/s ! les saccades récurrentes nuisent grandement à l’expérience, déjà fort lamentable en soi. Bref, c’est de la merde !    … Full Review »

    - Irritating. You do NOT need to be aware of the studios size. Get out with that nonsense.
    - Good music

    - Good music
    - Good landscape design, dungeons and mines are disgusting though.
    - Decent VA and mostly amazing music, some of it in ch4 is horrible.
    - Sound FX's are horrible and not impacting at all. Like fallons gun, sounds like a bb gun, it should sound like a sherrifs cannon rifle from the old west. It definitely doesn't. Its pathetic.
    - Story is laughably bad, except for a few scenes in ch2 ending.
    - This is not a small studio issue, its a lack of intelligence in the devs issue.
    - Crafting is horrible. I'm not going to 1, kill a monster for a drop, 2, hunt down a plant from a specific region, 3, buy an ingredient that only appears in 1 specific store you can't even reach when teleporting is blocked, just for 1 potion that barely even heals any HP. If you think that's a lot for just a potion? Wait til you look at armor and weapons.
    I play gacha games that have worse upgrade your character methods in them. That says something.
    - You spend the majority of this game with only 2 party members. Ya, not lots of tactics going on here.
    - Your mount is taken from you obsessively and you rarely have access to it. I'm talking maybe 15 minutes every 10-20 hours of story advancement. To add to this issue, there is no auto-run yet the size of the world is ridiculously huge. You are literally forced to run without auto run for hours, and hours, and hours. It's really really painful. And again, a dev choice. Not smart, even a little.

    For two years almost all games have been a 1/2 at best, so this game has that going for it that it isnt that low i guess. This is no ffx. Thats for sure.

    Biggest problem is this game lets you unlock and recruit people then takes it all away just because you advance a chapter. You cant ever make progress in your party. You do tons of work to craft grind quest then equip them and they go poof because of the story….never to come back. Its literally the worst idea for an rpg ever. You hit endgame with only 6, yet have 12-14 join your party at random points in the story, letting you equip & upgrade gear, or waste tons of time leveling them, only for them to vanish permanently.

    The graphics are good for a budget game
    Bugs dont ruin it. So thats good…. Since its 2022 especially….

    The problem….. is the devs low intelligence decisions to just lock things like your mount, teleporting, or flat out take them from you, forever, like party members and tons of gear.

    I cant even trust that I can PLAY the game, grind, get gear. Etc. Because in 10 minutes that person may be gone forever anyway.

    The choices these devs have made for “tactical battles” is outright bad. Example. Enter battle, before you even move once, tentacles appear from no where and slam your entire turn away. This repeats until you're dead, all before you even get 1 turn to react. It'ss not even a mini boss. Just a normal fight.

    The only amazing fun things in this game are the environments, at night only, daytime lighting makes the game look old.

    And the kitty mount. Which surprise, the devs decided to also take it from you every corner you turn, followed up by locking you from teleporting…..the teleport blocking is major. IDK what they are thinking, seriously. If the teleporting was locked short term, ok sure, but its not short, we are talking 10's of hours, it opens up again for maybe 30 minutes, then boom, you do one part of the story and they all lock all over again for 10's of hours. No devs, No. Go back to school.

    Game could've been good, devs decisions are horrible. I rate it a 4 because its playable and when its night, looks gorgeous on an oled tv. Beyond that, forget this game honestly. Persona 5 is still the Turn Based RPG king for this decade.

    Also, the fact that this game struggles to hit 60 FPS, let alone 120 on the PS5 is a joke.

    Verdict? Once you start to see all of these problems around chapter 3 and 4, you are NOT going to enjoy this game at all, not even a little bit. It has done nothing but bring out irritation in me, and definitely NO enjoyment. And I'm someone who typically plays ALL games on the highest difficulty setting.

    This game is not difficult, it's a chore, and that's a major difference.

    @ The art & music designers, for the outer worlds if they ever read this. Freaking amazing work with so little money, but my advice, RUN. You are clearly very talented, and the only reason this game is NOT universally rated freaking 1. Your talents are being wasted here. Either take over or get jobs elsewhere, this studio doesn't deserve that level of work. They put trash all over your fantastic artwork.    … Full Review »
