Edge of Eternity offers us a complete open world RPG, with very good technical workmanship and visually beautiful. The story is interesting, the amount of content is overwhelming and offers several dozens of hours of gameplay. On the downside, the title's performance and some animations could be much better.

Edge of Eternity has not only met, but surpassed my expectations in every way imaginable. It goes beyond simply being a “love letter to the classics” and has the potential to eventually become one itself someday, given that it gets a little bit of polish here and there (which I’ve already heard that it will be receiving, at least in part). In a gaming landscape that seems to have largely given up on many of the more traditional JRPGs, it’s nice to see that there are others out there who insist on keeping it alive—and it’s encouraging to see that they have the means to see things through.

Edge of Eternity wears all its inspirations on its sleeves and is better off for it. This is a pretty standard JRPG but the world building and the motivation of characters and how they interact with each other and the world, are what sets it apart from the fold.

Edge of Eternity is a beautiful game that is held back by the ambition of the developers. There are just too many moving parts here, and nothing seems to be fully executed. It’s by no means a waste of time, though, and provides hours of fantasy adventures in a new world, but it lacks focus and implementation due to the numerous features and broken narrative.

Overall, I have to say I'm really impressed with Edge of Eternity. While it does have some misses here and there, with a few moments of cringy or campy writing or general trouble, the adventure as a whole is well thought out and put together. The battle system feels more fresh than I expected, and the addition of the puzzle challenges really shows that the developers were putting a lot of thought into how to work it. Edge of Eternity provides a great experience for those looking for a new RPG to try out.

With only a small team, Midgar Studio has created an ambitious game that could pass for an AAA creation.

It’s obvious that the game comes from a place of love, and it is clear how much passion Midgar Studio has, but Edge of Eternity feels like a case where the developers have set their sights too far. There are lots of elements that could be interesting if given the proper care and attention, but in their current state most of them feel superficial and end up cluttering up the whole experience.

Edge of Eternity is a great RPG, with beautiful graphics, filled with vivid and vibrant involvements, great characters, and a great history. Not only that, but the game has an interface sure to please fans of the style, a deep battle system, charismatic protagonists, and a LOT of promise.

This is a well-created game that will give you a few dozen hours of fun, and also has more pros than cons.

Edge of Eternity is an ambitious JRPG from a small French indie studio. While it gets the story right and has a visually appealing world, subpar and unbalanced gameplay drag it down.

Edge of Eternity is a true love letter to the JRPGs of the late nineties, an ambitious title that seeks to modernize a classic formula without distorting it. The end result is an imperfect role-playing game, but still capable of entertaining and exciting the player thanks to an engaging combat system and a first-class script, along with a top-quality soundtrack. Surely capable of satisfying the lovers of the genre.

I enjoyed playing Edge of Eternity, but it has a few too many shortcomings for it to stand out as a ‘must play’ RPG experience. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to do in the game, the environments look pretty, and the battling is fun, but there was also a sense of vacancy in the world, a lot of story-threads felt unfinished, and some of the long-winded encounters could get boring. I didn’t have a bad time with the game at all, but there are much better alternatives to play.

Edge of Eternity will scratch the itch of those looking for a classic JRPG with a modern touch, but past that, it doesn’t provide enough to create a truly great experience.

Despite being only developed by a handful of people, Edge of Eternity is by far one of the greatest JRPGs ever made. Its stunning visuals, incredible soundtrack, complex narrative and intricate combat make it an incredibly ambitious title that fulfils each and every promise it makes.

Edge of Eternity is a good RPG, that maybe was a little too ambitious for a small studio but delivers a good experience for people who wish for a JRPG mixing medieval fantasy with magic and technology. The soundtrack is consistently excellent unlike its visual presentation which varies from marvelous to frustrating. Battles are fun and challenging, with simple, interesting mechanics. I honestly believe that, if Midgar Studios had more budget, Edge of Eternity could have competed with the JRPGs of big developers in scale and quality.

My final thought on Edge of Eternity is that after a rocky start, the game is fantastic and one that every RPG player owes to themselves to play. The story is great, the characters are witty, funny, and you make a connection with them. I can’t wait to get stuck back in and find the cure for Corrosion.

Edge of Eternity is an excellent title for any fan of a good, classic JRPG. Showcasing a clear influence from games from the 90's and early 2000's, it's a clear love letter to these experiences. The small size of the studio is notorious, and its ambition to present a large-scale experience is clear. However, this is also one of the problems, as sometimes the title would benefit more from simpler solutions. It's clearly a game with some rough edges and a very problematic pacing, but if you can accept these limitations, you'll certainly have a very pleasant experience.

Edge of Eternity is worth the long wait. Heryon is a beautiful world with a lot to do and explore. While the game is very ambitious it may be too ambitious in a few places.
