Eternal is a fresh survival-horror game that I have the utmost respect for. The reason for this is the innovative concept of "sanity" that one must maintain in order to view the very good looking world as a normal person would. The enemies can be somewhat intimidating at times, and they also have digusting sounds when they walk. The "Magick" system is great, and not too hard to understand. However, I found the fighting system bland and repetative. Aim for the arm, hack it off, or you can hack the head off, which will magic(k)ly grow back eventually if you don't kill it right away. How this happens is beyond me. So, there's nothing revolutionary about the fighting system. But the complex story line and the multitude of playable characters are what keeps you playing.
