    Complete and udder garbage, The game released in such a broken state that the graphics engine cant even run on a RTX 3070 without low framerate, stuttering and blur so bad that I thought I had accidentally changed the render resolution by accident. It runs so poorly that it cant even run smoothly on the absolute lowest settings possible on a 3070.

    Its been four months and the game has received not a single patch to solve the absolutely atrocious performance issues still plaguing the game.

    DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE, They will never patch it and you will have wasted your money on something you cant even play.

    By far one of the best VR games at the moment. Great graphics, good storyline. One of the few large-budget games for VR.

    The game is fantastic but i have a RTX 2080 and the menu recommend Low graphics settings???
    If i set any setting higher than Low it shows me the GPU is not supported. I tried to forced it and the game crashed after 15 minutes (i don't know if this was the cause).
    Played on Oculus Quest 2 with Air Link.

    I also would like to have spanish translation

    I never thought I'd experience anything close to Alyx for many years - but Lone Echo 2 not only delivered, but even transcended what I thought was possible in VR. First you may not notice it, LE2 may look like LE1, but it isn't. See how extremely detailed Olivia is when you get very close? See her skin, her eyes her lips - this is way beyond npcs even in Alyx.

First you may not notice it, LE2 may look like LE1, but it isn't. See how extremely detailed Olivia is when you get very close? See her skin, her eyes her lips - this is way beyond npcs even in Alyx. And later in LE2 you will meet npcs that truly will knock your socks off (in case you're wearing any ;-) While Alyx is a lonely game with rare friendly social npc encounters, LE2 is like being in a real movie. This no longer feels like a game: I do not play Jack, I am Jack.
    The level of immersion provided in this game - and the story, is second to none. Sure, Alyx has much better performance, but Alyx does not have better graphics. Also in Alyx you only got hands, in LE2 you got a full body. Alyx never got under my skin, but LE2 does in spades. This is the new VR reference, 17/10 rating ;-) The game works perfectly with Revive. My rig: Asus Strix OC RTX 3090, 10900K and 32GB. I use both Rift CV1 and Valve Index. Rift CV1 works great using ss 2.0 and High settings, but you might have to lower ss to 1.7 to get solid 90 fps. Index works fine using same settings, but res 200%, in 80 Hz. Keep res as high as possible, deactivate 1) auto-res in-game and 2) reduction of objects in the periphery. Keep TAA on and do not activate MSAA for best image quality and performance. These guidelines are for users of RTX 3080 or better. Btw, this game is the epitome of CV1 gaming - blacks are awesome. If fact I don't mind using either CV1 ss 2.0 or Index res 200%, both are awesome. TAA is totally sharp using the Rift CV1. Even if the game does look good using lcd when forcing high res to reduce TAA blur, I believe the CV1 was the original design target for this game.    … Expand

    {Personal Experience: Personal Experience}
    6/10 - Average.
    [Smoth for about 2 hours, after that the crashes happened. Crash every 5-30 min. The game itself is interesting and enjoyable, but the crashes bring down the playing experience a lot. I thought the issues from the first one would not be brought over to this one but i was wrong.] {GamePlay: World/Level Design,    {Personal Experience: Personal Experience}

    {GamePlay: World/Level Design, Quests/Missions/Objectives, Difficulity (Deffault/Normal), Co-Op/Multiplayer Aspects}
    7/10 - Good.
    [The World/Level design looks fantastic, it feels like you're at an infested space station.
    The Objectives are ok, they are to go from A to B or Find this item.
    The difficulty is ok.
    No Multiplayer in this game tho, but that's a standalone game called Echo Arena.]

    {Narrative: Dialogue, Cutscenes}
    9/10 - Great.
    [The Dialogues are fantastic and keep things entertaining most of the time.
    The only thing that can be considered a cutscene is at the beginning where they tell you the events of the first game. Tho cutscenes are rare when it comes to VR games in my experience.]

    {Visuals: Graphics, Motion Capture/Voice-Sync}
    10/10 - Fantastic.
    [The Graphics looks fantastic and feels fairly realistic.
    Fantastic Motion Capture, and fantastic Voice Sync.]

    {Technical: Bugs, Performance}
    4/10 - Bad.
    [And now we're at the point where the game fails hard.
    The Performance was terrible after 2 hours into the game, as the game was crashing every 5-30 min for the rest of the PlayThrough.]

    {Story: The Story}
    8/10 - Great.
    [The Story was enjoyable, it continues where the first game left off and does it great.
    Tho due to the ending, I'm doubting there will be a Lone Echo 3. sadly.]

    {Replayability: Replayability (Alternate Endings, Secrets, Multiplayer, etc)}
    5/10 – Bad.
    [This game is play once and done kinda game.]

    "7/10 – Good.
    Playing a Good game is time well spent. Could it be better? Absolutely.
    Maybe it lacks ambition, or is too repetitive,"

    3080ti+12700K+quest2 全高画质非常流畅 那几个说卡顿玩不了的 自己弱智一般的电脑操作技巧还非要玩VR也是勉为其难了 除了乱喷还会什么？ 回到这款游戏，我可以不夸张的说这就是目前VR游戏的标杆 ALYX请往后排吧 ALYX我只能给8分 不过ALYX的MOD我可以给9分 而LONE ECHO II是10分满分！

    Lone Echo 2 is the perfect sequel for those who have loved the original title. All the others must be prepared for a wonderful VR adventure with basic puzzles and an enormous amount of dialogues.

    Lone Echo II is available on PC and we dabbled in it to finish the adventure that started 4 years ago! If the scenario is in direct line with the previous one, it will bring its share of surprises, time travel and a much more definitive conclusion than before. The VR gameplay is inherited and almost modeled on that of the first episode: you move weightlessly with the strength of your arms or your jetpack, and you have to wander around a crumbling space station and fix it and relaunch it with it. the few tools that are at your disposal. Whether through its universe or the experience offered in virtual reality, Lone Echo II is worth its weight in peanuts, and if you are equipped and have already completed the first, we advise you to see the end of the adventure.

    Lone Echo II boldly crafts a stunning and near-perfect space sim, but repetition and lack of replay value aren't enough to pass on Oculus' last Rift exclusive.
