Gert Lush GamingJim SmaleNov 20238/10It could be argued that this is a Castlevania SOTN love letter with slight reskinning but overall I wanted to like the game way more but the issues are just a real deal breaker and a proper bummer. I will of course wait for some patches and go back because I can see what it is going for and let’s face it, A snowy Castlevania game sounds awesome, chuck in Christmas and I’m there!

Garage Band GamersJason BollaNov 20238/10For players looking to enjoy a Christmas themed Metroidvania, Ebenezer and the Invisible World is tailor made for them. Aside from some evil spirits plaguing the experience and making me put the game down here and there, it was never enough to say bah humbug and not come back to it again. I’d be interested to see the team give this treatment to other stories from the past.

Digital ChumpsWill SilbermanNov 20237/10Ebenezer and the Invisible World has its moments of fun and rewarding exploration through completing optional sidequests and finding secrets. It looks great, too. However, its big swings in the form of ghost management and stiff traversal/combat lends to a less than stellar experience. May this experience become better in the future with more time and polish? Absolutely, but it's worth waiting to see what happens.

Duuro MagazineKrist DuroNov 2023Dreams of a quality Christmas Metroidvania go unfulfilled. Ebenezer and the Invisible World offers little but disappointment and frustration. Avoid this Scrooge of a game, unless a major updates arrives before Christmas.

Push SquareSimon FitzgeraldNov 20233/10Soft locks, crashes, and bugs burden this gorgeously presented Christmas story. Until this nightmare before Christmas is patched, we'd suggest finding something else to place under your Christmas tree.
