VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “Eternal Strands feels more exciting than expected. Like our plucky protagonist, Yellow Brick Games went headfirst in clambering up the great industry titans to catch our attention. There are certainly some pitfalls along the way – individual design faults tempting anyone to shake the project off altogether – and its story isn’t the next Tolkien. But what keeps interest going comes back to those nuances: the intuitive crafting system, the experimentation of Brynn’s magical abilities, and the small unique emergent stories of your own borne out of triumphs or mishaps. That doesn’t necessarily make this freshman effort a new giant in the genre, but a sub-boss can be an imposing force all the same.”
