Good potential, aged very poorly.
This game was released 20 years ago in 2001. I haven't played it up until now, so I'm reviewing it without nostalgia goggles. Graphics and sound are what can be expected from a game such age. To me they are just fine, so I will focus my review on gameplay. Multiple other reviews compare this with Lost Vikings, and that's a game I actually have played and really enjoyed it during my younger years. The premise of Lost Vikings is simple: it's a 2d platformer where you play as 3 characters who must navigate the levels bypassing traps and enemies using each of the character's abilities in order to reach the end together. My ultimate impression of Project Eden is that it fails to apply what was fun in Lost Vikings, and the gameplay is made even less tolerable by the game being in 3d. * Movement. Each viking had differences to their movement and it was a part of solving the puzzles. Here all characters move in the same manner, and what is worst, moving is not fun at all. Characters take time to accelerate from a snail pace, turning the camera using the mouse is funky with camera requiring some mouse movement before it even starts to turn * Combat. Each viking had a different approach to combat. Eden's combat is same for all the characters. It is some pretty low quality FPS / TPS with unexciting enemies, clunky controls and hardly any punishment for failing. All tedium, zero fun * Puzzles. This is a better part of this game. However because of level design, dated graphics and colorless artstyle I've found myself multiple times not struggling to solve the puzzle, but just locating the set pieces. And the abilities follow the trends with the movement and combat by not being very fun. 3 out of 4 characters' abilities are just being able to press buttons designated for those characters Ultimately it may have been good in 2001, but in 2021 with better alternatives it's more tedious than fun to play.
