    It's mid. It spoils itself at the beginning for no good reason. The characters and story are bland. Way too much info dumping. I don't know where all these positive reviews are coming from.

    the story is intermediate at best.
    the gameplay is one of the worst i have ever played. it is super slow and the most repetitive thing of al time in a video game. you always fly to the next destination where you have to read so much (most not story relating) and click "explore". from time to time you have walking stages where you basically go from A to B and do (no exaggeration) the same "puzzle" the whole game. which isn't challenging or funny at all.
    nothing is explained to you so you also have to figure out what to do and where to go in the first place.

    overall this game is very boring and exhausting and i'm glad it was included in xbox game pass. i would have been very mad if i had to pay for this. absolutely NO RECOMMENDATION for opus!!    … Expand

    Because it has often too few safe points it is nearly unplayable if you can't play easily more than an hour in a row.
    It is sad because the story seemed interesting. But practically, at least for me, absolutely unplayable :(

    For me, OPUS: Echo of Starsong had everything I could possibly want in a game. Rich storylines, interesting characters that genuinely have purpose and have their own motives, wonderful world-building and simply magnificent music. In fact, OPUS: Echo of Starsong holds a very rare accolade of being one of the very few games that have brought me to tears by the end—in a completely good way of course. OPUS: Echo of Starsong taps into your emotions with ease and utilises them exceptionally well to create a story that is not only beautiful but equally as heart-wrenching. OPUS: Echo of Starsong is a phenomenal tale that you simply must experience.

    Overall, Echo of Starsong is another strong showing for the OPUS series — pleasant graphics, along with minor gameplay elements that successfully break up the visual novel sections, and an interesting story. This one will definitely please fans of the series and can be easily recommended to fans of the visual novel genre as well.

    Simple and emotional, Opus: Echo of Starsong is a finely crafted indie that everyone should play.
