Theres jumping, dashing, and laser sword slashing in the upcoming Eden Genesis, but what this cyberpunk platformer desperately needs is a reliable sensation of speed. Published and developed by Spain-based Aeternum Game Studios responsible for the well-received metroidvania Aeterna Noctis and its roguelite variant Summum Aeterna Eden Genesis challenging forebearers set the tone, but some peculiar design ticks make it feel more fidgety than freewheeling, and its leaderboard-oriented essence is at odds with its dragged-out narrative and limited length. Overall, Eden Genesis is a clumsy beast, a speedrunner showcase that feels too sluggish to satisfy.
