Review of Ether One by thorn969

Objectively, this game wasn’t short and had some very tough, non-intuitive puzzles. But they fit with the environment and it was beautiful and worked as a story. Sometimes the commentary got a bit repetitive, especially when you were moving back and forth looking for missing bits to solve puzzles. Every puzzle can be solved, although sometimes they are very tricky. But at the end I was left wanting… more meat. Definitely worth playing, but it lacked a bit of… cohesion that would make it feel like a complete game, I guess.

Much better, in my opinion, than similar exploration games like Dear Esther and Gone Home, but I think it could still have used additional scripting.
