What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.99. That was June 2026. 80 discounts in the 8 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 74 percent. On the same math Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen ($29.99, scores 76) and Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas ($14.99, scores 49) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
Steam's global achievement data says about 9 percent of players ever finish it. On a 29-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 13 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2021 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 880 reviews written there were positive, against 69 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 29 hours. Doing everything runs 73, 2.5 times as long.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say
This game is honestly pretty fun. The characters are interesting and the banter is well written. There are some rough edges here with some of the translations and the character's/npc's can glitch out a bit but it's not bad enough to worry about. The story is interesting enough to grab your attention, the battles can make you think (Especially on harder difficulties). It's a shame the studio got liquidated, I think...
Too big and ambitious for it's own good. Story's a bit all over the place, and the (english) voiceover is a bit corny, but good ideas mostly, and the battle system's fun. Soundtrack's pretty good too. plenty of bugs, the enemy level-scaling, generic-looking assets and the weird crafting system do take a toll on this game though. the final boss is too overpowered imo. good effort all in all though, especially for a...
It is a tough one. Unfortunately, cannot put review without "yes/no" recommendation. Since I cannot decide clearly, I just put "no". Huge point for the game is the visual, it surprised me even after I saw screenshots of the game. The rest, I was not especially hooked. The outdoors, they look beautiful. Not much for the sand area (beach and desert) and towns (populated by, probably 99%, static npcs), but everywhere...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Edge Of Eternity scores 24/100 on the BANG Score (a skip). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/269190/edge-of-eternityThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 20, price as of Sep 24.
