Eternal Strands
The first game from Canada's Yellow Brick Games, which employs renowned ex-developers from Ubisoft, Electronic Arts and BioWare, is called Eternal Strands. It's an action-adventure with surprisingly good and creative combat against towering enemies - and it seems pleasingly focused on the core elements.
Magic, world interaction and battles against giant bosses are the strengths of Eternal Strands. In this action-adventure, players take on the role of Brynn, a young but fearless Weaver determined to restore her people's cultural homeland in a fantasy world that, despite its generic appearance, boasts good world-building, but the story isn't always as convincing. On the plus side, the magic system is really impressive when used skilfully against enemies. Ice can be used not only to cool a dragon's fiery breath, but also to freeze parts of the enemy to the ground so that it can be attacked. Players can block incoming attacks with a wall of magical ice or uprooted trees, unleash waves of flame from a two-handed blade, hurl enemies off a cliff with telekinetic force, or rip objects from the environment and use them as throwing weapons. These powers can be enhanced with enchanted weapons and armor.
