A few minutes in and i knew this was gonna be one of my alltime favs.
Echos features phenomenal world building and voice acting and the art... oh my the art
Ive truly been desensitised to horror at this point but echo tackles it in such a unique way that i cant help getting the creeps 11\/10 wish there was more. It starts off really cool and then turns into a repeating collectathon of blue spheres. A very unique experience.
It's a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to content - the first hour is heavy on the narrative and the exploration, while the rest is pretty much a stealth game with a twist. Because whatever you do in the current cycle, the enemies will also do as well in the next one, you have to consider your path and use the least "ways" possible, f. ex. in this cycle only opening doors, only jumping down, instead of all at once. The upside is that they also unlearn whatever you DIDN'T do in a given cycle. It's... unique, as I said.
Is it fun though? It's difficult. It's very engaging, you're constantly on the edge of your seat (warn your housemates - my fiancee made me jump several times just by approaching from behind). Violence is pretty much never the answer, because if you use your gun, they will too. And there's a lot of them. And they respawn every cycle.
The difficulty wouldn't be so bothersome if the game wasn't so repetitive. It's not like Dark Souls, where you're dying all the time, but to a different abomination this time; no - once the enemies start looking and acting like you, it's pretty much going to stay that way. The environments are almost identical, and there are no twists. You just plow through very samey thing over and over. It's a major flaw of the game, but the freshness of the concept and the excellent story almost make it bearable.
The production values are high; the game looks great, feels great, the voice acting, the writing, all REALLY good. The story makes you wade through the frustratingly difficult later parts of the game. I played on Normal - maybe Easy would be a bit more bearable?
It's certainly not for everyone. But it's worth a go - and satisfying to beat.. Nice concept - seems like a decent story, which keeps you guessing, so I like the feel of the game
Not sure why some think this is nice graphics - its the same, reused elements to the extent that it appears like a labyrinth
Gameplay is very interesting - but like the graphics it quickly becomes same, same, same
And now I'm uninstalling - can't find a reason to proceed.... This game is kind of a mixed bag. I'll start with the good stuff.
-The graphics are OUTSTANDING. If you take the time to admire the environment, the amount of detail that went into the
textures, lighting etc. is better than some AAA games.
-The combat isn't just a brain dead "fire until you have no ammo" for once and requires some strategy and stealth. The AI also has a unique way of fighting that I've never seen in a game before (I won't spoil it.)
-The soundtrack is very nice (couldn't find any other words.)
-The controls are very responsive and you can quickly execute a number of actions.
As for the bad stuff...I couldn't really find anything to complain about except the story. I finished the game within 8 hours, but that's because I rushed through some levels and didn't collect some items (which I regret now.) At the end of the 8 hours and the final credit scene closed I felt a little incomplete. However, I still would recommend this game, as this game is unique and is a good expierience.
TLDR: Everything about this game is amazing and if you don't mind having a somewhat incomplete ending, I would heavily recommend this game.
