Eternity's Child

[h1]Summary[/h1] Eternity's Child is an unfinished platformer with janky controls. Don't buy it (I usually write longer reviews, but there literally is nothing more to say about this "game"). [h1]Pros and cons[/h1] +/- Art style +/- Music and sound - Unfinished and abandoned game - Clunky controls, floaty jumping, imprecise movement - Flimsy, incomprehensible story - Bad level design (you often don't see where you're supposed to go, so you have to rely on leaps of faith, causing many insta-deaths) - Bad enemy design (often starting to fire at you from somewhere off-screen, appearing out of nowhere, or just sitting there for you to do some target practice) [h1]Verdict[/h1] Don't buy this.

I was forced to play this at gunpoint

[h3] STORY [/h3] The game has you playing a pair of characters without much backstory. The game appears to be based on a fairy tale. [h3] GAMEPLAY[/h3] The gameplay is a platformer meets shooter meets puzzle solving and it manages to do them all pretty badly. [h3] PLAYTIME [/h3] The game is difficult due to the controls to “master”, however the current story can be completed in ~2-3 hours, with it taking ~4-5 hours to get all achievements, which is collecting the gems from each map. [h3] COMPLAINTS [/h3] The game was never finished, even though it was promised to be done. The game is still for sale, so I am not sure if the developer gave up on the game or…

In a fit of nostalgia and achievement completion I fired up this monstrosity. What can I say ? The controls are appalling and the character movement is like something you'd find in a 1980s magazine type-in. To Valve's eternal shame they allowed this abomination onto their storefront in the early days of Steam. Simply the worst game I have ever played. It's not even good in a bad either.

One of the worst games I've ever played... that's saying a LOT. Please stay away from this game and save your sanity, there's absolutely no redeeming aspects to this "game"

My wife likes this game but I think its awful
