Eternal Strands

Exciting Monster Hunter-like game that barely outstays it's welcome. I really appreciate the fast-paced dialogue and the trust between the main cast. It means that the story progresses at a steady pace. It's great to see how magic works in this game, it's very visual and ties in well with the story. Combat can start out a bit clunky, and I found that light armor is more useful than heavy armor. I'm not sure how they could have solved that, but perhaps it would have been better if they had reduced the effects of weight on combat and allowed players to express themselves more through making cool outfits. It's also worth mentioning that the amount of maps is a bit limited, so you end up looking through the same library multiple times for various quests. This is mostly an issue when you want to do all side quests and you're in a hurry.

O jogo excedeu minhas expectativas! Esse jogo cumpre um papel muito importante que grande parte dos jogos esquece: ele é divertido, e explora bem as mecânicas que se propõe a entregar - embora eu ache que algumas mecânicas poderiam ter sido um pouco melhor refinadas - jogando você consegue perceber diversas inspirações em aspectos de diversos jogos icônicos. A construção de mundo é única e muito criativa. Me gerou muita curiosidade sobre como o mundo funcionava. Além disso, de pouco em pouco novas mecânicas vão sendo acrescentadas, permitindo explorar partes novas do mapa ou até mesmo derrotar inimigos de uma forma diferente. Os inimigos comuns tem combates que não empolgam e por vezes até atrapalha um pouco, mas as batalhas com os Arcs e as grandes criaturas são sempre empolgantes na primeira vez, e nas demais, pode ser divertido entender como o boss funciona e como extrair o fio dele, ou, depois de descobrir isso, fácil o suficiente pra extrair o fio em poucos minutos sem ser uma batalha chata sem necessidade. As histórias dos personagens secundários não me atraíram tanto quanto acho que poderiam, mas é perceptível que os desenvolvedores colocaram muito carinho nisso.

eternal strands crushes and not opening the game im stuck

after following this game from the start, i finally rolled credits after playing daily for a few weeks straight, and i just. this game is incredible. the writing, the characters, the mechanics. sometimes the physics get a little wonky, but that felt expected considering the freedom to break just about everything and fling it around. the amount of time i spent tossing enemies off of cliffs... i've been telling everyone i know to get this game and play it!! it perfectly scratched the single-player rpg itch, like i haven't been so taken with a game like this in ages. can't think of a time where i wanted to get all the achievements for a game in quite a while!! i adore the companions, the romance was beautifully done, and i will be replaying it to experience the other romances!! the voice acting too, oh my gosh! everyone did such an AMAZING job!! what an incredible first game from yellow brick!! i can't wait to see what they do next!!

really like eternal strand 8/10

Great game. I enjoyed it, and found plenty of freedom in how you choose to battle. There is a lot of satisfaction in using magic to hurl objects at your enemies, or to hurl enemies off cliffs, hurl enemies into fire sources that then explode, etc, etc. As the game went on, I used my actual weapons less and less. The environmental powers are great and things seem pretty intuitive too. Props to the developers. It has a lot of heart but it's also a really well designed game

Mapas legais, grandes monstros, liberade total nos mapas! Mas a historia 'e horrivel!!!!!!

Very much fun game loop. Shadow of colossus like gameplay with some RPG level-up. PARRY!!

Fun game and awesome mix of melee and magic combat. I look forward to Yellow Brick's next game; and if it's in the Eternal Strands world, I hope they refine the combat mechanics and rein in the fetch quests for even more good times.

Amazing game made by a small studio that could genuenly rival with Hollow Knight in terms of gameplay. I even had the chance to meet the team in person and they are just amazing and passionate people. This game was definitively worth my time, would heavily recomend
