THE GAME
Eternal Strands is an action-adventure game developed and published by Yellow Brick Games. Brynn is a young weaver, a group of beings who seek the secrets of the Enclave and seek to reclaim their homeland. Using powerful equipment and weapons combined with powerful magic, our protagonist will face various dangers while exploring areas full of enemies, whether creatures of nature or colossal adversaries. Enjoy all the combat diversity and face the challenges in your own way.

MY IMPRESSIONS
Eternal Strands offers an interesting proposition, with combats that give you the freedom to try a little bit of everything until you find the way you like the most. When it comes to weapon combat, you'll find the complete package, with short and long-range attacks, rolling and parrying blows with counterattacks. Where the game truly shines is with magic and its range of different ways to use it. Using one of the first magics as an example, ice, you can use it to freeze enemies and put out fire. And it doesn't stop there. By improving this skill, you'll acquire more versatility, such as creating an ice bridge. And this is just one example, as there is an interesting range of magics and possibilities. Creating equipment is simple, but with a fun way to create and improve each weapon and armor, in an improvement system based on the quality of the materials used. Still on the subject of equipment, we have a focus on resistance, both to heat and cold, which are elements that are very present in your adventure. The game is in Brazilian Portuguese, which helps you understand the mechanics, both weapons and armor and magic, and also makes it easier to follow the game's story.
Another interesting factor is the enemies you encounter during your adventure. There are the most basic ones, which will have their own attack patterns and abilities specific to each species, but the enemies that really stand out are the giants. The battles change completely against this type of adversary, which will require different strategies to take down these colossal enemies. The game's visuals, both for the characters and enemies and the environment, are beautiful, but generic. Despite the vibrant colors, they look like something you've seen somewhere else. Still, this doesn't get in the way of gameplay, as you'll find plenty of fun in this world full of corners to explore.

ACHIEVEMENTS
A large part of the achievements are related to progress in the game's story. In addition to these, we have combat achievements, which involve defeating specific enemies and also using your magic in different ways, interacting with the environment and objects. Finally, we have achievements linked to the game's equipment, such as making pieces with the highest quality resistance to cold and heat or creating equipment with the best materials, for example. Since Eternal Strands is a game with a lot of exploration and combat diversity, you will have to try a little bit of everything to reach 100% of the achievements.

CONCLUSION
The variety of magic and its possibilities was what caught my attention after I started playing. I say this because what attracted me to this game were the battles against giant enemies. Of course, this type of battle is really cool, but it's really fun to experiment with what can be done with each type of magic. Despite this, I feel that the game doesn't hold the player's attention due to other aspects, such as the story or the charisma of the characters. Not that they're bad, but they're not attractive, perhaps even overshadowed by all the other elements of the game. Still, it's a really fun game that will provide hours of entertainment.
