About
Eternal Strands is a third-person fantasy action game where ARPG-style elemental mastery meets open-zone exploration and improvisation. Players step into a richly reactive world, not just to follow a path, but to forge one.
You play as Brynn, a young Weaver, wielding fire, ice, and kinetic magic as tools of survival, strategy, and power. Whether freezing a dragon’s wings mid-flight or tearing apart the battlefield with physics-driven chaos, every encounter demands quick thinking and creative control, not just reflex.
With full traversal freedom, dynamic environments, and colossal foes that must be scaled and outwitted, Eternal Strands invites players to explore on their terms and fight on their instincts. There are no locked builds, no scripted solutions - just raw power, a broken world, and the legend you choose to create. A game where the elements obey you, the terrain bends to your will, and every victory is entirely your own.
At the heart of Eternal Strands beats a revolutionary new system for gameplay interactions: heat spreads, cold chills, and real-time destruction allows for unprecedented reactivity in combat. Hurl burning tree trunks at enemies with telekinetic powers, snap nearby trees to block opposing fire, or channel raw telekinetic force to rip boulders from the ground.
Wear the Mantle, a magical cloak that channels raw magic into raging flame, chilling ice, and telekinetic force. Combine your growing array of powers with enchanted weapons and armor crafted from slain enemies to create a custom look and style. Block incoming attacks with a wall of magical ice, lash out waves of flame from a massive two-handed blade, or toss enemies off a cliff with raw force.
Face gigantic adversaries and defeat them through a mix of sword, spell, and mobility. Leap onto and climb their massive forms to attack from different angles. Shatter armor or slice at weak spots to diminish their protection. Use ice to pin limbs of a towering foe, arcane flames to burn their fur, or catch lobbed projectiles and turn their attacks back upon them in battles that will leave scars upon the land.
Enhance the effectiveness of your ice abilities during a flash freeze to open up new paths. Use a heatwave to start a wildfire and watch it spread towards enemies as it consumes the tinder-dry trees and grass around it.
Explore the wilds, the capital city of Dynevron, and the secrets beneath as every surface is climbable. Magical abilities can create bridges, burn barriers, or launch Brynn across the world. The next-generation physics system encourages and rewards player creativity in exploration as much as combat. As the Enclave’s secrets unfold, return to base camp to consult with a rich cast of characters. Each are keen to discover the mysteries of what happened to this lost bastion of power and knowledge.
A realm of mystery, opportunity, danger, and wonder: the Enclave awaits.

Abandonware - So very close to being an amazing evolution of "Shadow of Colossus", but lacking basic QoL features. Elemental statuses are centerpiece, yet armor lacks ANY explanation of what the stat numbers and effects actually do, a trend that sadly carries over to gameplay and quests as well. It's as if they finished the systems and pushed the game without a second thought to how someone without their internal understanding of systems actually plays. Also, the devs replied to technical issues (no way to manually disable motion blur, for example) 1year+ ago with "We hear you and will work on it post-launch" ...-Which was a blatant lie. Exact same issues still persist. Further the game suffers from unexplained flickering during cutscenes, if you turn graphical settings too high, ridiculous...
I expected a much more fun and combat-focused game, but unfortunately, the experience was quite different. The combat system is bland; fighting regular enemies offers no satisfaction whatsoever, while the giant enemies, which should be the true focus of the game, are only moderately entertaining for the first few hours, but quickly become repetitive and, in some cases, even frustrating. The reasons for this frustration can range from cumbersome and unstable climbing, the virtually uncontrollable direction of the main character's jumps, and the general lack of polish in various mechanics. While the combat isn't exceptional but can still be entertaining, the writing is practically nonsensical. The writing in this game is just terrible, some of the worst I've ever had the misfortune of reading: it's forced, devoid of emotion or impact, and, worse still, completely unrealistic and preachy.

[i]Eternal Strands[/i] est un jeu d'action-aventure solide, parsemé d'idées séduisantes et porté par une direction artistique chatoyante, dont les textures à l'aspect peint à la main s'accordent harmonieusement avec une bande-son efficace. Le jeu s'appuie sur des excursions pendant lesquelles Brynn de Kalnhaven, tisseuse de magie, s'aventure aux quatre coins de l'Enclave afin d'accomplir divers objectifs, affrontant une faune hostile tout en récoltant quantité de ressources. De retour au campement, on améliore son équipement avec ces matériaux dont la rareté s'échelonne du vert commun au doré légendaire (un classique), avant de planifier sa prochaine incursion au gré des quêtes confiées par une clique hétéroclite de compagnons. Chaque nouvelle sortie régénère l'état de la carte : ennemis, végétation, coffres et éléments destructibles retrouvent systématiquement leur état d'origine. Chaque expédition permet d'explorer à sa guise, en flirtant souvent avec la zone jouable, car notre personnage peut escalader librement et se propulser grâce à ses pouvoirs cinétiques. La magie constitue la clé de voûte du jeu, notamment à travers les effets du feu ou du givre sur l'environnement. Générer des blocs de glace pour entraver un adversaire ou échapper à la lave transforme le sol en patinoire, tandis qu'enflammer un ennemi embrase le terrain, consommant végétation, constructions de bois et autres coffres, libérant leur contenu. L'interaction permanente avec les éléments est très satisfaisante, d'autant qu'elle évolue selon les aléas climatiques auxquels les aires de jeu sont soumises. Cette maîtrise des éléments s'avère indispensable face aux neuf créatures colossales du jeu. À l'instar d'[i]Horizon Zero Dawn[/i], il faudra en prélever la substantifique moelle de façon optimale pour permettre à Brynn de monter en puissance. Chaque confrontation épique impose un protocole spécifique : brûler la fourrure ou fracasser une cuirasse pour révéler un point faible, mutiler une aile pour limiter ses envols, etc. L'aventure s'achève en une vingtaine d'heures, davantage pour débloquer tous les succès et terminer intégralement la dizaine de zones jouables. Malheureusement, l'intrigue ne m'a jamais véritablement captivé, en grande partie du fait de sa mise en scène rudimentaire. Quelques rares cinématiques, dont la patte évoque l'animation 2D américaine, ponctuent les moments clés de l'histoire. Mais l'essentiel est raconté via de simples vignettes sommairement animées, tandis que sont débités d'interminables dialogues. Certes, le titre n'a pas l'ambition d'un jeu narratif, mais cette rigidité détache rapidement le joueur du scénario, l'incitant presque à zapper ces échanges, malgré des doublages de bonne facture. J'ai néanmoins passé un [b]agréable moment[/b] avec [i]Eternal Strands[/i], à côté duquel j'étais totalement passé à sa sortie. Dans son ensemble, le titre constitue [b]une expérience vidéoludique récréative, visuellement réussie, et réellement satisfaisante lorsque les éléments métamorphosent les zones de jeu[/b] en temps réel. Cette première production québécoise, signée Yellow Brick Games, ne s'épargne pas quelques écueils (cf. ci-dessous), mais rien qui ne saurait entacher votre plaisir d'incarner Brynn. Mes quelques reproches : - Je suis immédiatement passé en difficulté "histoire", afin de briser en un minimum de coups les nombreux éléments destructibles renfermant des ressources. Le bestiaire étant par ailleurs limité, cela évite également d'étirer inutilement les combats contre les mêmes adversaires, sur des cartes régulièrement revisitées... - ... car nombre de quêtes se résument à dénicher un objet lors d'une expédition. On peut heureusement s'extraire facilement une fois l'item récupéré, et les pouvoirs cinétiques progressivement débloqués accélèrent considérablement les déplacements. - Lorsque les trois évolutions possibles pour un pouvoir donné sont obtenues, les combats contre les colosses perdent de leur attrait, et on en vient à les éviter. - Reconstituer l'entièreté du codex est fastidieux, même si chaque entrée à collecter émet une signature sonore, car le récapitulatif de progression se contente d'indiquer combien d'éléments ont été récupérés sur le total disponible. Au passage, le lore du jeu est discret, sauf à prendre le temps d'étudier ledit codex. - La prise en charge sur écran large est parfaite, mais les cinématiques restent limitées au 16/9. - Le jeu ne propose pas de mode photo, malgré ses panoramas souvent charmants. - Les [i]headshots[/i] existent, mais sont si peu valorisés que de nombreux joueurs risquent de ne pas s'en apercevoir. - En enchaînant plusieurs cartes au cours d'une même expédition grâce aux transitions entre zones, il est possible de faire tomber les colosses et de prélever sur chacun un filament. Malheureusement, l'inventaire n'en contiendra qu'un seul de retour au camp. - L'escalade est parfois capricieuse, Brynn s'écartant parfois des parois au lieu de s'élancer pour poursuivre son ascension. J'aurais préféré deux touches distinctes : l'une dédiée au saut, l'autre à l'escalade. - Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas davantage de colosses à affronter, ni de techniques variées permettant de les terrasser. Les boss volants, par exemple, nécessitent invariablement la magie de glace pour les clouer au sol. - Le succès consistant à forger toutes les armures du jeu exige effectivement de toutes les fabriquer, y compris l'équipement de départ ! Curieux.
This game is solid enough that I feel bad leaving a negative review, but the truth of the matter is that this game just isn't that fun to play. The magic is underwhelming, the boss fights quickly grow repetitive and are quite janky, and it just didn't hold my interest enough to make me want to keep playing. I unlocked 6 of the 9 powers and every one of them has been a resounding "meh".
[h1] Толерантная Повесть о Ткачях [/h1] Игра получилась красивой, геймпллей в стиле Зельды и Теневых Колоссов, а сюжет подаётся местами кат-сценами с артом мультипликации, а чаще во время разговоров между персонажами игра выглядит, как новела. И вроде игра красивее предшественников, у которых заимствует идеи, красивая героиня и её спутники, интересных лор, но о нём позже. Но при этом однообразный геймплей, ты вынужден захватывать Колоссов и Драконов с целью получения из них ядра и прокачки магии Энергетической, ледяной и огненной. [u] Но дальше по сюжету в 6-ой главе, тебя заставляют найти все ядра и убить одних и тех же боссов ещё раз 10, а боссов 6 и не все из появляются сразу. [/u] В Итоге постоянный бэк-треикнг идущий в минус игре. Однобразная и слишком простая боевая система, неудобная и почти бесполезная магия. Очень душные боссы: жирный, постоянно себя поджигающие из-за чего ни ♥♥♥ не видно (Колосс Кузни) или наполовину неосязаемые, босс, которого надо постоянно морозить (Всплескорождённый Вестник). Если лор про Ткачей открывающих порталы и плетущих нити, чтобы видеть будущее (да они Ясновидцы), в борьбе с нежитью выглдяит н плохо. Но вот сюжет: Всплескорождённые - Это местные Порождения тьмы (руководитель студии дизайнер квест Эры Драконов: Начало), поэтому ничего удивительного. Глава другого города по прозвищу Глаз (звать его Карн Станилде), смог придти к власти пожертовав отрядов позиции, в борьбе с Всплескорождёнными (ну знаете прообраз Тейрна Логеина). Захватив одно из ВР выясняется, что она разумное существо, утверждающая, что они нам не враги, ну и дальше мы начинаем вести борьбу с Глазами провостоять ВР. [u] Проблема сюжета в очередной раз в мягких характерах соевых персонажей. Из всего лагеря, интересный персонаж от чатси это бледно-лицая Касмин со своими психологическими проблемами. [/u] Остальные добрые, наша героиня Бринн отважная, спец по магическим мантиям Лин- стеснительная. А светлокожий мужик - Карн Станилде эгоистичный, властный, высокомерный уёбок. Его дочь, т.к. она женщина, то она хорошая. И не смотря на то, что она сама пожертвовала собой, чтоб остановить Предводителя Всплескорождённых, Карн всё равно виноват. Так как где-то прятался и ничего не делал. И всем этим заниматься в этой игре в конец ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. А что касается бывшего Байо Вэр и чела и СиДи Прожектов, они учавстовали в создании култовых игр, когда когда мода была другая. Теперь когда повестка уже 10 лет набирает обороты, они начинают, как их коллеги в крупных студиях делать соевую херню средней всратости. И такие проекты либо проваливаются финансово, как эта игра, либо показывают хуже результаты, чем 1-ая часть (Marvels Spider-man 2, Horizn FW, DA:V). Мне вот не зашла игра про мышь-менестреля и теперь о Ткачах тоже какая-то лажа с похожими проблемами. Теперь я понимаю почему провалился этот проект. Он вдохновлён Зельдой и при всех проблемах, как не странно он лучше Зельды - красивее и лор интересней. А в остальном Зельда такая же растянутая, только секреты глубже запрятаны, чтобы отнять у игрока больше времени при такой скучной боевой системе с кучей гринда. С уёбищным ебалом Линка, здешняя Бринн красивее. Многие ругают боёвку Ассасина, интересно, чтобы они сказали или написали по поводу этой игры!? [b] Плюсы: + довольно интересный лор у этой игры; + арт-дизайн и красивая графика; + годный левел-дизайн с секретами; + хороший аудио-дизайн; + хорошие и ровные анимации телодвижения; + ровная камера и удобный интерфейс. С плюсами всё, а теперь Минусы: - неинтересная подача сюжета; - ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ дизайн квестов (принеси подай, порталы активируй) - геймплей: ♥♥♥♥♥♥ боевая система с гриндом (вокруг сундуков, боссов и живучих противников); - регулярный бек-трекинг; - незапоминающиеся саундтреки. [/b] [i] Вердикт 5 из 10 Посредственность. [/i]. Не рекомендую данную игру, это слишком скучно, как не пытайся себя в ней развлечь. Брал по максимальной скидке, так как был для меня от части интересен проект. Но он разочаровал и не стоит никаких денег.
This game has excellent mechanics and a pretty satisfying gameplay loop... when it lets you actually do it. This game also has some of the worst pacing I've had the displeasure of experiencing. With gameplay this good, I cannot believe they insist on wasting your time with tons of dialogue that isn't even good. No offense to the writers, but you need to work on your craft, because I couldn't care about any of these people, and they were just annoying and blockers to what I was here for, which is the stellar and very dynamic combat with large enemies. If the devs just went all in on the boss fights and made it more like MH than it already is, I think this would be such an easy recommendation from me. Let me put it this way; If you front load your gameplay, I understand what your game will expect from me and what I can expect from your game. If you make it so that you can skip through boring parts easily to get back to the gameplay, that will make it much easier to get back to that gameplay. If you front load your story, then I don't even know if I'm going to like the game enough to care about your story. If you make it so that you can't easily skip through boring parts to get to the gameplay, that will make it harder to get back to that good gameplay. With me so far? Now let's add this onto that: People who are patient enough to sit through a story will likely be patient enough to sit through gameplay focused sections, but people who are impatient and just want gameplay will quit your game if you keep stopping them from playing it... You're dropping your players who are easy to keep by focusing too much on ones that would be sticking around anyways because the story interests them... Also, less is more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I honestly can't see them fixing these issues without pretty much fundamentally changing the game and it's pacing/structure, so... while the fights are (for the most part) very interesting and quite fun, an awesome mix of Shadows of the Colossus, Monster Hunter, and Dark Souls, it's really held back by an absolutely terrible pacing, which is a shame because I want to like this game so bad.
Playing on normal, I think I'm around 80% done. At first, I was really having fun with the gameplay, which was a mix of BOTW and Shadow of the Colossus. Art design looked nice, and the game performed well enough. But for some reason, I didn't care at all for the story or the characters. And the "colossus" fights have become tedious and frustrating, I don't want to do them anymore. Whenever I get this far into a game, I almost always soldier on to the end to get some closure. But for this one, I have zero motivation to continue. If I do decide to, most likely I'll dial it down to story mode. I got this game on sale for around $7, and I think the game has given me more than that in terms of entertainment. But I'm still saying "don't recommend" because this is a mediocre game, and I wouldn't want to recommend mediocrity to anyone.
The combat is okay, not great. The monster hunter style is kinda cool, but it gets repetitive and just doesn't really feel impactful or polished. The dialog is god awful. I consider myself a progressive, but this feels like it is a parody of a 2012 tumblr fan fic. This is coming from someone who largely enjoyed Dragon age The veilguard... It is genuinely SO bad. I'm not sure what AO3 addicted white millennial they got to put this together, but this is not how human beings sound. This is not how they interact. Please go outside and talk to other human beings before trying to write again. 4/10
I'm now at the age with two little kids that gaming is not something I get much time for. I usually play on my steam deck in half hour chunks. Eternal strands is perfect for this type of gaming. The game doesn't do anything terribly new, but it is easy to get into (not that daunting I don't have time to understand this that sometimes happens), the gameplay is fun and keeps you interested, and the story is nothing amazing, but told very well in a way that keeps you interested in the next part. I don't finish many games nowadays, as I tend to think I've seen everything I need and move onto the back catalogue, but I did finish this game. I would definitely recommend it.
I can't believe more people aren't talking about Eternal Strands!! This game has so much heart. Exploring the world, combining magic with physics, climbing giant creatures, and getting to know the cast was an absolute joy. You can tell the devs poured love into it. One of my favorite surprises in recent years, and I hope it finds the audience it deserves.
