Eidolon reviews

Interesting game, best if played "blind". On one hand, it is intriguing -- who, where and "when" am I? What am I doing here? Where should I go? Despite the mystery, the whole experience is very relaxing, and the music reinforces that. The document fragments are well written and evoke some nice stories, it is fun to piece together what happened. And this game has possibly the hugest map I have ever seen in a game. On the other hand, the game moves at a g - l - a - c - i - a - l pace. With very little direction, it is easy to walk randomly without anything "happening" at all for long stretches of time. And the walking is s - u - p - e - r . . . s - l - o - w. And, did I mention this was possibly the hugest map I have ever seen in a game? So, all in all, a relaxing game, that many will find super boring. As it is, I enjoyed it, and ended up 100% this in 20 hours or so. Score: 61/100.
