Eden Genesis

I enjoyed Aeterna Noctis, so figured I'd give this a play. This is a fairly unique little platformer. The way you move on platforms is rather creative I'd say, and the way this leads to challenging levels is as well. The "getting jumps back through hitting" mechanic, while not unique, works well with the rest of the movement set and weapons and I really enjoyed it. Challenging game, but fair. This developer does really good with their platforming. Tight and responsive controls. I was very impressed with the platforming in Noctis, so it's no surprise that when they focus on just platforming, it's good. Yes there is some combat, but it's very limited, and typically it's to get back jumps and move further. There are levels that are combat levels and they have beefier enemies, but they are rare. The art style is nice, and the animations are smooth when playing; cutscenes are okay, kinda psuedo animation. The music and sound effects are all fine. Nothing special. The gameplay is where the game really shines. It's a REALLY fast-paced precision platformer. Each level you are scored and the overall goal would be to get an S+ on all of the levels. Most of the levels are simple enough and I was able to get an S+ fairly quickly. However, there are some challenging levels, that are long, that require perfection. The story is kinda whatever. It's interesting enough to pay attention to, but nothing special. The dialogue all seems a bit off. English is not the first language of the voice actors, though they are mostly pretty convincing. I would have been fine with just text, but it's whatever. One thing that this studio does that I appreciate is references a lot of other media, mostly videogames, but there are media references like Hackers and Ghost in the Shell. There is actually a room full of references, and it took me a second to realize it. Two issues. The game froze a few times while I was playing. Not in the traditional sense. Everything in the game world was still moving, I just couldn't do any inputs. Not with controller, keyboard, nothing. After about 10 seconds, it would just start working again. The other was a bit more disappointing. I finished all of the levels S+, but still had three achievements left. I couldn't figure them out no matter how much I called or tried to interact with people. I quit the game a few times and it fixed one when I still had four, but the remaining three, no clue. I looked up a guide and just couldn't get anything to work. Overall, this is a fantastic precision platformer and I would definitely recommend it. The platforming starts off fine, but as you get just a little into the game, it really starts to shine. I got about 20 hours or so out of it. Asking price is perhaps a little too high, but I'm sure it goes on a reasonable sale occasionally, and I would recommend picking it up if you like a good challenge.

A very good game. Rare to see someone actually take the mantle of Dustforce and succeed! The game has a great amount of platforming challenge, expands on what Dustforce did with this type of game, while still retaining its own identity. Really a treat. The Hub with the levels is done in a engaging way, by incorporating small traversal challenges in between major levels. Always, there could be something more, but this is an extremely well executed game!

Otro juegazo de Aeternum Game Studios, de momento no me veo capaz de completar las puertas elite en S+, aunque volveré en un tiempo para intentar conseguirlos

nice

o jogo não é ruim. mas não é para mim 1) ele é ZERO metroidvania. 2) a progressão depende de vencer desafios de plataforma e arenas de inimigos. Para quem goste de temática Cyberpunk e gosta de ficar competindo por rank em desafios talvez goste dele mas eu NÃO!

The intro and tutorial take too long and cant be skipped, cant be arsed waiting half an hour to actually start playing the damn game.

BEAUTIFUL! Just a great game with great graphics and great story!

For what it is, EG is an excellent experience. Precision platforming as an art and a science. Would I have liked the experience to be more cohesive? Yes. But if that's my biggest complaint, then Aeternum has fulfilled their purpose.
