Eternal Strands, launching January 28 on Xbox, PS5, and PC, is a new open-world action RPG from indie studio Yellow Brick Games. Inspired by games like Breath of the Wild and Immortals: Fenyx Rising, Eternal Strands features a beautiful painterly art style, engaging combat, and a vast world to explore. Players take on the role of Brynn, a young weaver who must journey to a hidden kingdom to uncover the truth behind a past disaster.
As a massive dragon-like drake hurled fireballs at me, I fired arrows back while dodging the projectiles. And I did a good job. None of them got me! But they did hit the wooden scaffolding I was standing on. Seconds later, it was burning and collapsing. And I was very high up. So I hopped down to a part that wasn’t on fire, turned around, and used my magical powers to grab a piece of the burning scaffolding and launched it back at the monster, doing enough damage to kill it.
One of my favorite video game moments of 2025 so far is grabbing a big object and using my magic power to shunt it at a group of tiny enemies, sending them all flying off in different directions like pins being hit by a bowling ball. Sadly, this physics-based action and the ability to set nearly anything on fire or break almost any item or prop you encounter does lead to some wonkiness in Eternal Strands. I’ve lost track of the number of times I flew off a cliff or boss seemingly for no reason.
