To this day, Eternal Strands combines magic with epic boss fights like in the Playstation Classic Shadow of the Colossus. So the action RPG can be magical, according to reports, even if the developers don’t get every detail right.

Essentially, Eternal Beach is described as a sandbox, in which players can experiment with all kinds of skills and weapons as a wizard to save the world in a mystical land. Trying and playing with the game and its possibilities should help explore, but also help fight huge opponents, where players sometimes have to climb. Ice spells, for example, build bridges or bring dragons to the bottom of the facts. The environment itself must also be used creatively in combat.

On Metacritic, Everlasting Strands currently achieves average scores between 71 and 75 points depending on the platform. Basically everything is criticized away from the combat and the sandbox: the story is disappointing, the progression overloaded, criticizes IGN. The “exciting” boss fights, on the other hand, were the best since Shadow of the Colossus, and the game also rewards creativity. For Eurogamer, however, the eternal strands are extremely entertaining. It is emphasized that the developers had specifically set priorities and worked efficiently, the game not only has an independent and clearly recognizable “identity”, it is not noticeable. More critical voices such as those at Gamesradar+ are hampered by the fact that the path to the highlights is too tedious and a bit monotonous.

Low requirements *

Eternal Strands for Xbox Series S | X, PlayStation 5, Game Pass and the PC in the Windows Store, Steam and Epic Games Store are released. The system requirements seem low at first glance. Six grains, 8 gigabytes of RAM, an old mid-range GPU – which hardly moves the world.

However, the minimum requirements refer to 60 fps with low details and the use of a speaker, which calculates the image with 50% of the 1080p resolution. The recommended build scales the image to 1440p, but also only renders at half that resolution. In this case, the highest level of detail is achieved, which is to be expected in view of significantly stronger GPUs – the jump from a Geforce GTX 1660 is excellent over an RTX 3070 – is also to be expected.
