This game is equal parts mesmerizing to look at, equal parts entrancing to play, and executed so cleanly that nothing really feels like it's dragging it down. The visual design, level design, and gameplay are finely crafted with absolutely no fat whatsoever, which elevates the intrigue of the setting and story tremendously. The whole gameplay loop folds perfectly back onto itself, yet they kept finding fascinating scenarios to make me think about my options in new ways. It's just watertight, a really smooth experience. If you enjoy puzzles and stealth action, ECHO is a no-brainer, it's been the highlight of my year.
FOR IT'S TIME AND EVEN NOW This was and is a 'decent' looking game. Something looking like the inside of 5 star hotels, looks great. This has for VA (voice actor), Rose Leslie and accompanying Nicholas Boulton . There was clear indication for the progress of the story into a FILM, to date we haven't further detail on that. It's played in third person VIEW, there is a psychological effect in what appears to be you against yourself. Initially. Though, you're introduced to these cloned enemies. As the game progresses it's 6 chapters, it FOR ME, was mostly a stealth-fest. You have your 'hand-gun' and various other combat moves such as stealth take-downs. There is the opportunity to level up yourself. You obviously must give attention to detail to do that. Even so, and probably because I had to give attention to that It was difficult for me, the game IS SO BEAUTIFUL to look at, though after some time in game, it feels 'samey' and if you save and have to get up and wash the dishes, you may find it difficult to just step back in. If you liked it and just connected to what was going on here. You continue. There is a narrative, there is a story to follow sometimes you may feel like there isn't. At this time if you're playing on new HARDWARE and it seems you're unable to initialize the game. I found in the forums something that worked FROM-GAME-LIBRARY-OPEN PROPERTIES->GENERAL ->LAUNCH OPTIONS insert the following cmd /c "set OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x20000000d&&call %command% That ↑↑↑ for me had the game working on my CORE ULTRA CPU's 🗸🗸🗸 As a person that enjoys stealth games. I played and completed the campaign. Have fun. Recommended
The game was crashing constantly when I was trying to play. Adding an environment variable named "OPENSSL_ia32cap" with value ":~0x20000000d" solved the issue. The stealth gameplay is extordinary. Everything has consequences. I think it' still worth the price, even for professional players, because the difficulty is adjustable to match the player's gaming experience. Even when I got used to hard mode, the game got harder by adding a new enemy named hyper echo Despite the crashes, I really recommend this game.
A solid precise experience that tricks you into believing it's an action shooter but it is actually a stealth game. Story is intriguing but convoluted. Liminal spaces look original on Unreal Engine 4. Hauntingly beautiful sound and music. Superb voice acting of Nicholas Boulton and Rose Leslie. A unique game I can recommend. ECHO 8/10
A hidden gem with peak sci-fi themes, gorgeous art direction and stealth-puzzle gameplay that hints at feeling like a quasi-roguelike. It can become challenging and takes a bit for the gameplay design to really click with you, but once it does, it becomes obvious what you were doing right or wrong in your last "run" (blackouts which are part of the story) can be adjusted by carefully choosing when to perform an action or choosing not to. Even with its challenging gameplay, this is absolutely recommended to any sci-fi enthusiast. Just expect to become frustrated in a few spots with how the game adjusts to counter your play style. Take a moment, step away for a bit, then come back to try a different approach or path. The brain-tingling journey is worth it.
