"Slow progression, short game length, and a blasé narrative came together to ensure I wouldn&s;t want to take this adventure again...unless I just didn&s;t have much else to do on my Switch."

"As an experiential piece of software, and one with a fantastic sense of place, Eclipse ticks a lot of PSVR boxes, but don&s;t be surprised to come away wanting for a bit more."

"While it isn&s;t winning any graphics awards (not that it&s;s terrible), Eclipse: Edge of Light still manages to achieve VR greatness. With a few simple mechanics, Eclipse allows the player to experience its eerie, lonely world in ways that feel …"

"At $14.99 it’s priced about right (although it’s a bit short at three hours to complete), and the game isn’t offensive, it’s just that there’s so much better available now in virtual reality, and things in Eclipse that would have …"

"Despite being a complete VR experience, Eclipse: Edge of Light falls short in most areas. If I had to describe Eclipse: Edge of Light it would be ‘low effort.’ At the very least, it didn’t make me nauseous while playing."
