A game with a lot on offer but currently lacking finer detail.

Etherborn is a good puzzle game that plays with the four dimensions, but the story is pointless and sometimes it's hard to read the levels.

Etherborn stumbles at times in its execution and gets lost in an unnecessary narrative, but there's no denying the puzzle design is brilliant.

There’s still fun to be had in solving Etherborn‘s puzzles, but given how insanely short the game is, I’d probably recommend giving it a pass until you can find it on sale.

It has a nice visual style, feels satisfying to solve puzzles, music is nice to ears. But camera angles make puzzles artificially difficult and game itself doesn't last long.

With nice visuals and creative challenges, Etherborn is a fun platformer that, despite not delivering its narrative message as well as it could, still deserves the attention of the fans of the genre.

Etherborn is not only a solid, content-rich video game, but also a work of art. Etherborn once again proves that innovation is the main key to success in this industry, and there is no limit, even for indie developers with small budgets, if their ideas are genuine enough.

Nice excursion with great level design and puzzle elements. Just too short.

But these are overshadowed by the thin layer of frustration caused by the loose controls and overly restrictive camera. There is potential here and if you enjoy more artful puzzle games like the ones this game has been heavily compared to, it's at least worth a look. Just be ready for a few hangups along the way that might take you out of the experience.

Etherborn is a creative and occasionally maddening puzzler that will test your brainpower. However, there's not a ton of content here, and the backing narration often comes across as pretentious nonsense.

Although Etherborn is a somewhat short and often frustrating adventure, its intricate stages are mostly a joy to solve.

The definite stand-out title of the week is Etherborn, a gorgeous, challenging, and somewhat mind-bending 3D environmental puzzler...

Etherborn is certainly worth a try, although the price tag that is currently attached to the game is too high. 16.99 euros for a game with only five levels is too much of a good thing. Ten euros less would have been a better deal. So if you are looking for a puzzle game with brain teasers and a nice graphic style for that amount of money, then Etherborn is fun to play. Just keep YouTube handy for walkthroughs if you're running out of patience.

Etherborn is an excellent puzzle and platform game, with an incredibly inspired and highly challenging level design. The soundtrack borders on a great level with live recorded music and a dubbing to match. On the other hand, it's too short a title, with an insufficient number of levels despite its game modes and an unneeded storyline that's rather there for the taking.

Etherborn is quite ingenious game. It looks great, it plays amazing. Only 4 levels though. Half an hour (up to 2) of intense and puzzling fun.

Etherborn is a journey of discovery, one that doesn't pull any punches in puzzle difficulty, and a beautiful adventure of discovering one's purpose.

Outside of the rough philosophical implications, Etherborn provides a player with some seriously fun and often difficult puzzles that will force you to engage to proceed.
