Etherborn Reviews
Etherborn is a charming game with great level design and soundtrack. While the story and character were rather flat the gameplay more than made up for it.
Etherborn has all the good ideas for a clever puzzle game. Then it ends after only four levels, never exploring its mechanics in a way that makes them stand out.
A unique and beautiful game that may be too hard sometimes, and with some control issues, but that results on one of the more enjoyable games on the last few weeks.

It’s a carefully directed, genuinely beautiful game well worth your time.
Etherborn is a great puzzle game that fascinates us by level design, art, soundtrack and tone. Although there are also some mistakes, it's one of the great titles of this year 2019, we mustn't lose track of Altered Matter.

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 is a great and unique puzzle-platformer with some smart level design and gorgeous views, thanks to its colourful, yet simple art style. It is a tad short and I would have liked to see a little bit more experimentation; however, Etherborn is clearly one of the better, more rewarding puzzle games in recent memory and well worth a playthrough.
Etherborn is now available, and it offers up some unique twists on the platforming, exploration, and puzzle video game genres. This is thanks to its brilliantly designed, and challenging levels, which are the puzzles themselves due to how gravity affects the player at each an every turn.
Etherborn defies gravity in a very elegant way and in-turn becomes relaxing especially when being accompanied by a pleasant score is placed into the mix. The story feels like one version of plenty that's been done before, pertaining to creation, but it's not necessarily bad. It's just not that engaging. The way Etherborn makes each environment one large puzzle to solve by walking on each of its so-called sides and call for your wits is done nicely. Etherborn is an artistic, environmental puzzle-solving showcase that has class and Altered Matter has expressed their creative talent.
The challenging gameplay, gorgeous sound design, and stunning aesthetics all make Etherborn a worthwhile experience, even for those not fond of puzzle-platformers. Every level demonstrates a craftsmanship that encourages the curiosity to think and engage with the world. Completing puzzles is satisfying, even if the length of the game is not. Some minor issues may crop up along the way, but Etherborn is still a clever, fun game that challenges players and their perspective of the world.
A carefully crafted and expertly designed experience full of interesting puzzles.

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.
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 stumbles at times in its execution and gets lost in an unnecessary narrative, but there's no denying the puzzle design is brilliant.
A game with a lot on offer but currently lacking finer detail.
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.

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.

Although Etherborn is a somewhat short and often frustrating adventure, its intricate stages are mostly a joy to solve.
Beautiful to watch and genuinely challenging, Etherborn offers an innovative approach to puzzle games that has resulted in something unique and provocative.
If you can get past the clunky controls and funny camera angles, then you can find a lot of enjoyment in this very unique puzzler.
