For starters, the game is full of bugs and glitches. I don’t want to sound like a spoiled modern gamer, but honestly having to read everything in the game was a little off-putting for a 3D game that was released in 2019.īut a game can be forgiven for a poor story if it makes up for it with compelling gameplay, and unfortunately, Eternity: The Last Unicorn falls flat in this area as well. Speaking of the story, I won’t spoil anything, but it is mainly told through cutscenes with writing text, as this game has no voice acting. Bior the Viking joins her as a second playable character, but his story wasn’t much deeper. But one of the failings of the game is that I never felt particularly attached to her, nor did I really care about her motivations. She is a cool enough character, with a competent design. The game starts with you playing as the elf Aurehen.

But for me, it wasn’t worth dealing with the game’s glaring issues to find what enjoyment it was hiding. That’s not to say that the game is complete garbage, it does have it’s redeeming qualities. So I really appreciate what the developers tried to do here, and I understand they spent 4 years working on Eternity, but I didn’t really enjoy my time with it. So does Eternity: The Last Unicorn pull it off? Or is it another in a long line of well-meaning homages that falls short of it’s potential? Let’s take a closer look and find out.

This is all set to the backdrop of a world rich in Norse mythology. The game is an attempt to merge the gameplay mechanics of classic titles like Onimusha with the modern sensibilities of various Dark Souls style games.
