    5/10 Never (before how) have I quit and unistalled a game only 90 minutes into playing it. This game has charm and excitement, and each level is interesting and challenging. Unfortunately, its good points are horribly overshadowed by the difficulty and requirement for split-second timing. To say that this game suffers from being too finicky, is an understatement. Do not play this game unless you have either the …

    I found this game more frustrating than fun, so I just stopped playing it near the start of the 2nd act. With most puzzle oriented games, I'd say that the struggle comes from finding the solution. With Ethan, you get that, and then get a bonus struggle of implementing your solution within the framework of the games mechanics. Take the pauses, a limited resource through pickups. If pauses were an unlimited resource, …

    I really dig this game. I stumbled upon it during the sale and it looked like a decent platformer. Being a fan of the genre I decided to give it a go and I was not dissapointed. I was actually quite impressed. I'm very competitive so the leaderboard is a really nice feature. After being inspired by the video posted of a Time Attack on the first map I decided to give it a go myself and soon I would find myself …

    A lot better than I expected! 4/5 Pros: - Very challenging puzzles and platforming. - Good variety of challenges. - About 3 leaderboards per stage. Clear time, fragments collected, and pauses used. - 3 worlds with many stages. The game is hard enough to make you spend a lot of time trying to beat it, but it doesn't feel very unfair. (I spent an hour on a late stage once...) - Lots of replayability for every stage …

    I had this game from a bundle when it was still in greenlight. Thought it looked decent but very Mario alike. Now that Ethan is greenlit I recieved the key and yes, I was right on both parts. Ethan looks decent and is Mario alike. Okay, Mario alike means a good platformer. Though I never really liked Mario because it was just TOO SIMPLE, Ethan raises the stakes from level to level, getting harder and harder. At some …

    Dont let the trailer or the demo fool you, after a few levels you will find yourself playing that classic arcade game when you just have to restart levels only to get some luck on a moving platform. If you want to buy this game remember only like 30% of the time will be about solving puzzles. If you are looking for something that will challenge your intelligence and let you think about a brilliant solution (like I was expecting buying this game) this is not worth your time and money.
