HonestGamers Review // ETHER One

Gary Hartley Writes: That's the sort of game Ether One is. You can finish it in four hours or so, merely exploring and solving basic puzzles. That's a valid way to reach a sobering conclusion and watch the credits roll. But there's another way, too, a completely optional one. It forces you deep into the game's virtual world, compels you to explore every corner in an effort to understand each nuance. That second way tries–and mainly succeeds–at giving actual life to the town of Pinwheel in a way I've not quite seen before in a video game.
