ECHO

I got this game on steam a while ago. I didn't know anything about it going in and I was pleasantly surprised. Much of the opening to this title reminded me of Ridley Scott's work. Large mysterious places that look alien in design. After the opening though, some of the mystery wears off and the gameplay sets in, I started to lose interest and the game never recaptured it. It's an interesting stealth title but it's hard to recommend.

It is gorgeous game with unique mechanics. Only it doesn't grow into something greater. But I still very much reccomended this and I hope for sequel qith a little more funding.

Echo ide is interesting and fun. Graphic is nice but you will see the same object, a lot. The main problem of this game is that evry things is 3/5. stealth can be fun, but is way to simple. story, I realy didn't get it, we start with lot of slow walking, and people talk abaut something but why schould I care abaut it? who is this guy that we try to rescurect? beging it is as boring as beging of skyrim. Puzzle hard to call it puzzle, you will not get a sens of discovery of some clever solution, because there is non :/. It would be better if we would cut some pointless walking from game.

I owned and played this game on my PS4 Pro, sure it had its share of problems there, but I figured playing it on PC the game would run better, nope, not the case. This game keeps crashing, and despite all the fixes recommended on steam, the pcgamingwiki, and reddit it just keeps crashing. Its an absolute shame because I love this game.

I don't like giving perfect scores. This game though, I'll make an exception. It deserves every star. ECHO is a brilliantly constructed stealth game with an interesting gimmick and absolutely top-notch artistic direction. It may not be for everyone, but if you're aching for a hardcore stealth game that will test your patience and your drive to finish it then this game is for you. The graphics are hauntingly beautiful. Every second playing this game makes me want to take a screenshot. The environments are a unique mashup of Baroque architecture and H. R. Giger. Think Palace of Versailles mixed with Alien. The gameplay is good and heavily stealth based. The core gimmick is that your enemies are clones of you and will copy your behaviors in a predictable cycle that resets while you play. You simply cannot finish this game if you just run and gun through the enemies since they will learn to start shooting you on sight. With that said, gameplay isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination. Some controls can be a little finicky like trying to hold down the button for stealth takedowns and the same button being used for both traversal and sprinting. Also, the main gimmick can sometimes backfire hilariously since the game's AI doesn't really take your actions into context and misclicks and simply crouching near a wall for a long time will be copied by the AI even if it makes things easier for you. Other reviews say the game is repetitive. I won't contradict that statement; this game can be repetitive, but it's a repetition that can be quite enjoyable especially if you're the type of player who likes perfecting ghost runs in stealth games. Overall, this game is great and deserved more praise than it got on release and sadly, this game won't get a sequel that could have polished off the minor gameplay design hiccups due to the closure of Ultra Ultra. Oh well, at least it's on GOG now...
