![]() ![]() It is not perfect, as enemy and character animations on the map are a bit janky, but it’s vibrant world is filled with plenty of useful treasures to find. There are many moments where the player will find themselves stopping to take a look at the beautifully detailed sights. When Daryon and Selene manage to set out on their journey to find a cure for the Corrosion, the visually stunning open world of Heryon becomes an immediate draw. It’s a shame Midgar Studio starts in the least visually interesting environment in a passive manner. Throughout the game, the cutscenes are visually overshadowed by the scenery and it has an impact on the effectiveness of them. Instead of showing off its beautiful open world, Edge of Eternity provides a series of cutscenes to build it’s story in the prologue. From here, the player is thrown into an hour-long combat tutorial that doesn’t provide a great first impression. Selene pleads for her brother to desert the military and come home to their mother, but before Daryon can decide, his squad is attacked by Archelites, an extraterrestrial enemy force that has invaded the planet Heyron. ![]() For a moment, as the JRPG nostalgia kicked in, Edge of Eternity seemed like it could pull it off, but it doesn’t quite come together into a memorable experience.Įdge of Eternity begins as on-tour soldier Daryon receives a message from his sister Selene who gives him the news of his mother catching a deadly disease called the Corrosion. It takes ambition for a small studio to tackle making a modern JRPG that takes on the classic formula from the 1990s and to create such a large 3D world. Ambition is a common thread present throughout Midgar Studio’s Edge of Eternity that is evident the moment the stunning open world hits the screen.
