Eternal Strands places you in a group of adventurers that are the first to reach the Enclave, a once-powerful land that was sealed away decades ago after a magical disaster. As a team you must work together to survive the harsh environment and piece together what fate befell these lands. Gameplay-wise this is an action adventure game with some minor RPG mechanics. All of your equipment is crafted and upgraded from the materials you find in the world or collect from the many enemies you'll encounter. That includes many massive boss-like creatures that take work to fell but provide you with powerful magic and high quality materials. Exploring the world is made enjoyable by a very permissive climbing system that is limited only by your stamina and allows you to climb up sheer cliffs or tall buildings as you explore. Your magic abilities also interact with the world in neat ways, like using ice to build bridges or block paths, or using gravity magic to throw a whole tree at your enemies. The real shining star of the game is the characters and writing. The game is focused on a relatively small band of characters, and that limited scope allowed them to spend a lot of time developing each member of the crew. Each of them have their own stories and character development that will unfold throughout the course of the game. I was legitimately interested in each character's thoughts and opinions as the story progressed. I also can't mention the characters without giving a shout out to the exceptional voice acting on display here, which is seriously some of the best voice work I've heard in a while. They each succeed in fully realizing these characters, their highs and lows, their quirks, and everything else that helps them feel like interesting characters. The only issue I can mount against the game is some performance concerns, particularly in certain open areas and when the chaos of battle sees the breakable props that scatter the environment broken into many physically interactive bits. A blemish on an otherwise exceptional experience.

Fight epic, towering creatures while blending magical abilities with an arsenal of powerful weapons to keep the world from crumbling in this third-person, action-adventure game.
Play as Brynn, a young but fearless Weaver, determined to recover her people’s cultural home in the debut fantasy action-adventure title from Yellow Brick Games, a new independent studio founded by industry veterans.
Armed with powerful magical abilities and an arsenal of magical weapons, face enemies that range from humanoid constructs to towering beasts. Use the environment and temperature to your advantage in battles against a diverse roster of fantastical creatures, like turning a dragon’s fiery breath against ice-covered minions. Climb every surface and use arcane skills to create new paths. Explore the world in pursuit of the Enclave’s lost mysteries and challenge giant titans on your journey.
THE WORLD IS YOUR WEAPON
At the heart of Eternal Strands beats a revolutionary new system for gameplay interactions: heat spreads, cold chills, and real-time destruction allows for unprecedented reactivity in combat. Hurl burning tree trunks at enemies with telekinetic, snap nearby trees to block opposing fire, or channel raw telekinetic force to rip boulders from the ground.
WEAVER OF MAGIC
Wear the Mantle, a magical cloak that channels raw magic into raging flame, chilling ice, and telekinetic force. Combine your growing array of powers with enchanted weapons and armor crafted from slain enemies to create a custom look and style. Block incoming attacks with a wall of magical ice, lash out waves of flame from a massive two-handed blade, or toss enemies off a cliff with raw force.
STAND AGAINST GIANTS
Face gigantic adversaries and defeat them through a mix of sword, spell, and mobility. Leap onto and climb their massive forms to attack from different angles. Shatter armor or slice at weak spots to diminish their protection. Use ice to pin limbs of a towering foe, arcane flames to burn their fur, or catch lobbed projectiles and turn their attacks back upon them in battles that will leave scars upon the land.
UNSTABLE CLIMATE TO MASTER
Enhance the effectiveness of your ice abilities during a flash freeze to open up new paths. Use a heatwave to start a wildfire and watch it spread towards enemies as it consumes the tinder-dry trees and grass around it.
A WORLD RICH WITH SECRETS
Explore the wilds, the capital city of Dynevron, and the secrets beneath as every surface is climbable. Magical abilities can create bridges, burn barriers, or launch Brynn across the world. The next-generation physics system encourages and rewards player creativity in exploration as much as combat. As the Enclave’s secrets unfold, return to base camp to consult with a rich cast of characters. Each are keen to discover the mysteries of what happened to this lost bastion of power and knowledge.
A realm of mystery, opportunity, danger, and wonder: the Enclave awaits.
