Analysis The eternal cylinder, the cylinder that does not stop

The Eternal Cylinder is the last game Good Shepherd Entertainment on next-gen consoles. The game was released in 2021 for the latest generation consoles and PCs. Now, in 2022, we have been able to enjoy it in Xbox series X|SSo how’s the guy doing?

The eternal cylinder, an enemy that does not stop

In The Eternal Cylinder we will take control of a group of adorable creatures called trebhum and we will explore a strange world full of exotic and strange life forms. The Cylinder, a gigantic ancient rolling structure that crushes everything in its path, will be a constant threat. And it will be literally, because our goal throughout the game will be to avoid getting crushed.

The cylinder won’t let us rest. We can stop it by activating some towers placed in different parts of the map, but this solution will be temporary. With the cylinder stopped, a safe zone will be established where we can obtain materials, a new trebhum and advance in history. However, at some point you will have to leave and it will be time to run away from the cylinder again, which is not the only threat. What’s behind the cylinder? This is a question that we will have to find out.

everything to survive

In The Eternal Cylinder our goal will be to survive, in every sense of the word. Not only will the cylinder be a threat, but the world will be full of creatures th at want to kill us. Also, to add insult to injury, we need to control our hunger and thirst

However, for adaptation that of the trebhum. By eating different plants or insects, we can mutate and obtain new abilities, up to more than 50 different ones. Some mutations will be stackable, while others will replace the one we already have. However, this mechanism is not exploited as much as it should be, neither at the playable level nor in terms of design, alas. Our group will also change

Graphics and sound in The Eternal Cylinder

The graphic part The Eternal Cylinder It doesn’t stand out too much in terms of realism. Despite the wide variety of environments, the cylinder does not allow them to be appreciated, and in many cases they feel empty. The same goes for trebhum, whose mutations are very original, but hardly show any changes. The world is beautiful though, and trebhums are great base skins. Although, yes, the best designs are taken by enemies, especially those related to the cylinder.

In the sound section, the adjustment is well done, especially when the cylinder chases us, we notice the real tension and terror. And a very good point of the game is the presence of a narrator, which tells us about our progress and our history. However, no theme stands out too much, and many other sound effects are repetitive, getting a little out of place, in some cases.

In short, The Eternal Cylinder…

Ultimately, The Eternal Cylinder It’s a very beautiful game from an artistic point of view, and many will appreciate it for its survival system. Its mutation system, in principle the most characteristic point of the game, is left halfway, especially if we compare it to games with similar systems, such as Spore.

In his 10 hours of play, with the trebhum we will have a good time and run for our lives. Although the story is closed and open at the same time, we would very much like to see a sequel to this game. Finally and as always, if you want to know more about games and news, we are waiting for you here in the Xbox area .
