Etherborn is a gravity-defying puzzle platformer with breath-taking visuals and MC Escher-like levels. The difficulty is enough to test your observation and critical thinking, but nothing gets stressful. You'll be done with a playthrough in around five hours, but it's time well spent.

Etherborn is a short and sweet platform-like puzzler game. It features surreal, artistic graphics, beautiful music, "ethereal" controls and is in itself quite unique. The downside is the game can be completed in three to five hours

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.

Etherborn is something unique and making it a reference with its own name for any other similar court title that comes later. A title that no fan of puzzle and platform games should let go and places Altered Matter in that select group of studies to follow very closely ... with even higher expectations.

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.

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

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.

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.

Etherborn is beautifully constructed yet flawed in its execution, but you shouldn't miss out on this short foray into a topsy-turvy puzzle world built with dream-logic.

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.

Overall, Etherborn is a lovely title that I thoroughly enjoyed, even though the story didn't need to be included. As a result, I give it an 8 out of 10. It has some beautiful music, an interesting puzzle design, and a fantastic minimalist art style. I highly recommend this title if players are looking for a quick puzzle game that will challenge their understanding for a time.

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 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.
