Gameplay

Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock Doctor Who The Eternity Clock Review

The plot is promised as allowing the player to take on the role of the Doctor and River Song as they travel across space and time in an effort to save Earth by gathering pieces of the eternity clock, an object that is a record of everything that has or will ever happen in all of existence. Along the way is decision making which leads to "multiple possibilities" and puzzles. Players will encounter Daleks, Cybermen, Silurians, and the Silence. The game had previously been confirmed for release on 30 April 2012, but was later postponed to 23 May 2012.

The game takes place just before the events of "Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead" in River Song's timeline as indicated by various notes within her diary as well as the use of her title of 'Professor'. For the Doctor the game presumably takes place between "A Good Man Goes To War" and "Let's Kill Hitler" or after the events of "The God Complex". It is sure that the events in the Doctor's timeline are not after series 6 finale because The Silence tell the Doctor that one day he will find his doom, referring to Utah in "The Wedding of River Song".

Reception

According to review aggregating website Metacritic, the PS3 version of the game received an average review score of 39 out of 100, based on 21 reviews.

The game received a 3.5 out of 20 from the Australian game critics Stephanie Bendixsen and Gus Ronald on the ABC television program Good Game: Spawn Point, later describing what they truly wish a Doctor Who game would be like.

IGN editor Mike Bell gave The Eternity Clock a 5.5 out of 10 stating that "Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock is a game that is filled to the brim with good intentions and does a lot of things right, but that even the Pandorica couldn’t fix the amount of technical issues present."

Developers have responded to some criticisms and released an update. This update addresses bugs, AI issues and adds additional save locations.
