Mar 5, 2025Eternal Strands offers a charming blend of Shadow of the Colossus and Prince of Persia. While it never quite reaches the heights of those classics, it remains an enjoyable experience. The lack of enemy variety and some frustrating camera issues—likely due to budget constraints—are noticeable flaws. However, its fast-paced combat and well-crafted story showcase the developers' passion.

Feb 17, 2025Eternal Strands is a visually great game with solid technical performance, delivering a smooth and immersive experience. However, its biggest drawback at launch is the lack of Spanish language support—an essential feature. The combat system is well-designed, with an engaging elemental mechanic that adds depth to encounters. The story is well-told, though there are moments where the pacing slows down or feels somewhat empty—though these instances are few compared to the overall narrative. Eternal Strands takes inspiration from various genres, blending their best aspects to create a unique adventure. It had the potential to be something truly exceptional, but in the end, it left me feeling like something was missing.

Feb 6, 2025Even some of Eternal Strands’ visible limitations are charming, like its decision to use 2D animation for some cutscenes and to play out conversations using static character portraits instead of animating everyone. Details like that show Yellow Brick Games smartly working within its budget, which blockbuster studios could learn from. I can’t really call Eternal Strands a good game, but it’s still one I’m fond of. In a world of games playing it too safe with franchise tie-ins and cookie-cutter gameplay, seeing a game that’s actually too ambitious for its own good is a welcome change of pace.
