The game's story is generally considered decent, featuring a simple yet interesting narrative that intertwines elements from popular movie plot lines.

The gameplay is praised for its strong dynamics and responsive controls, providing an engaging experience that keeps players entertained. However, some users find the mechanics challenging to grasp initially, with a steep learning curve and a somewhat tedious tutorial that could benefit from a more gradual introduction to the game's features. Overall, the combination of a decent story mode and mostly fully voiced characters enhances the experience, despite some levels being perceived as too short.
“Very dynamic gameplay with responsive controls for gamepad.”
“Also a plus I will single out for myself the dynamism of the gameplay - all the time in motion does not let you get bored with catcalls or dialogs.”
“Love this runner-like mechanic with high pace.”
“The mechanics and controls can be a little hard to understand at first; the learning curve to achieve S+ may be daunting for some, and some levels are a bit too short.”
“I didn’t like two things - the short but at the same time tedious tutorial. Instead of giving the player several introductory races where existing mechanics are gradually introduced, we are shown everything and everyone all at once.”
“The gameplay is very dynamic, but the controls can be overwhelming for new players, making it difficult to fully enjoy the experience.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their vibrant and colorful visuals, with smooth animations and a variety of engaging locations, including a neon city and unique "holographic dimensions." While some users noted a lack of detail in the main character's visuals, the overall aesthetic is considered pleasing and reminiscent of the studio's previous title, Aerterna Noctis.
“The soundtracks are generally good, and the graphics are also pleasing to the eye.”
“Cyberpunk platformer with engaging combat and vibrant visuals.”
“Colourful, juicy graphics in the game.”
“There's an area of the game with similar visuals, and I think it even borrowed sound from Aeterna Noctis (the studio's first game), but that's okay because I love that game too much.”
“A little lacking in the visuals of the main character, but otherwise the animations are very smooth.”
“The graphics are colorful and juicy, but they don't quite meet expectations.”

Reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game can be tedious, particularly due to a brief tutorial that overwhelms players with information rather than gradually introducing mechanics. However, fans of challenging platforming may still find enjoyment in the grind.
“I didn’t like two things - the short but at the same time tedious tutorial. Instead of giving the player several introductory races where existing mechanics are gradually introduced, we are shown everything and everyone just once.”
“Eden Genesis did not meet my expectations, but fans of grinding platforming will likely enjoy it.”
