    Lone Echo II is a pristine example of how a sequel can be better than the original in every way. More mature and varied gameplay elements, impressive graphics, and a story that wouldn't feel out of the place in a novel make this the must-have swan song of the Rift platform.

    There’s a lot to love and get engrossed in as it’s so immersive, the real criticism comes from the fact that Lone Echo II plays everything a little too safe. The experience doesn’t break any new ground and it really could’ve done with some greater challenges thrown in. On the other hand, it was engrossing until the very end, easily the standout AAA VR experience of 2021.

    Lone Echo II proves once again how Read at Dawn is a top-of-the-class developer when it comes to VR.

    Lone Echo 2 is just as much a solid blend of narrative and puzzle solving in the VR space as the first one was and continues to show Ready at Dawn has a winning formula for VR players of all styles and comfort levels. [Tested with Oculus Quest 2 via link to PC]

    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.

    Gripping VR space adventure with excellent immersion and good graphics.

    Lone Echo 2’s incredible production values and first-rate immersion make for an enjoyable swansong that’s let down by its plodding pace and familiarity. Despite arriving four years after the groundbreaking original, there’s very little that will surprise you here and, although well written, the drawn-out character dialogue quickly wears thin. It’s still held up by a fantastic locomotion system with first-rate immersion alongside a solid story with believable performances, but the startling spark of blockbuster innovation that fuelled the first game has long-since died out. Jack and Liv’s mission to get back to the past makes for a fun ride, but parts of Lone Echo 2 were stuck there to begin with.

    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 thoughtI 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. 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

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

    Complete and udder garbage, The game released in such a broken state that the graphics engine cant even run on a RTX 3070 without lowComplete 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.
