    Echo's biggest problem is that the initial buzz of its concept gets fainter the longer it lasts. [Christmas 2017, p.83]

    Echo thrives on its conceptually impressive mechanics and simplistic gameplay, but suffers from repetitiveness. Nonetheless, Echo is an enjoyable game that fans of the stealth action genre should experience, especially when there’s nothing like it in the market.

    I really enjoyed Echo, but like a song played on repeat, I could only suffer so much repetition before it began to lose me.

    Echo is one of the greatest games I have ever played. I have read through the other reviews, and I do not share a single complaint the othersEcho is one of the greatest games I have ever played. I have read through the other reviews, and I do not share a single complaint the others have. My personal experience has been close to flawless, the enjoyment I got out of this title alone is just unreal. I bought it while it was on sale in the PS4 store (it is right now if you are reading this in February 2018!), and I can say that to me it has been worth every penny. I realize how biased this sounds but I cannot say a single bad things about this game, I love everything about it. The voice acting, the graphics, the level design and the gameplay are all fantastic, I also recommend watching the Echo Gameplay Trailer if you are still undecided because many people seem to miss that one. I personally think the gameplay trailer could have shown even more things and presented the game even better than it has, but I can safely say that there is not a single thing in it that you are not getting in the game. I 100% recommend buying this title, it's a 10/10 experience to me.… Full Review »

But its not for the FPS-generasion. Voice acting and sound design are amazing. If you pay attention to details, the universe and story is massive and complex. I recommend checking out StallordD on YT for lore.

    Once I started collecting echievements, the game got even more intense. Predicting AIs movement, your actions interference, limited stamina and bullets, makes for some thrilling situasions. Its ultra hard to do platinum, but its so rewarding because of atmosohere and investments.    … Full Review »
