What did critics like and criticize?
The excerpts collected on Metacritic show both the appeal and the limitations of the game’s mix. They are examples of individual reviews, not evidence that every critic shared the same view.
Strengths reviewers highlighted
- GamingTrend praised how the action combat and dating mechanics fit together, along with the visuals and voice acting.
- RPG Fan described the game as a strong fit for action-RPG fans who are open to romance and dating-sim elements.
- PlayStation Universe highlighted the characters, romance, writing, visuals, and gameplay loop.
- Push Square’s excerpt said the game “manages to be more than the sum of its parts.”
Reservations in the reviews
- Some excerpts point to uneven dialogue or storytelling.
- TechRadar Gaming cited the lack of a map, repetitive environments, and questionable dialogue.
- Other reservations include rough combat or polish and the game’s narrower appeal for players who do not enjoy romance or dating-sim systems.
What kind of game is Eternights?
PlayStation describes Eternights as a dating action game set during an apocalypse. It combines combat, scavenging, dungeon exploration, and relationship-building. Players can spend time with five characters, and developing those relationships can unlock skills and spells. The listing also notes time-limited dungeon exploration and 2D animated cutscenes that vary according to the chosen dating partner. See the PlayStation Store listing.
#1 Best Overall
- Face the Infected - One day, something, or someone, has turned humans into dangerous monsters
- Find Love - The impending end of the world makes for a great conversation starter
- Race the Clock - Scavenging, dungeon crawling, dating…there are just too many things to do in one day
- Explore Dungeons - These dangerous areas - known as the "Wall" - are filled with mystery and danger
- Animated Cutscenes - There are several fully 2D animated cutscenes that change depending on who you decide to date
That combination helps explain the split in critical response: its appeal depends partly on whether the player enjoys moving between action-RPG encounters and character-focused dating systems. The cited reviews praise the blend when it works for them, while pointing to writing, repetition, and polish as potential drawbacks.
Are the PS4, PS5, PC, and Switch reviews the same?
No. PlayStation lists the PS4 and PS5 release date as September 12, 2023. Metacritic’s overview also lists PC and Nintendo Switch, but platform review counts and scores differ. The 68/100 figure above belongs specifically to the PS5 critic page; check the relevant platform listing before comparing versions. Metacritic platform overview.
