    I do not quite understand what it is I didn’t see in OPUS: Echo of Starsong that so many others do. I normally believe it is bad form to talk about other reviews in my own review, but I cannot help but feel awkward and a bit guilty when I see the universal acclaim this game has gotten. Between a 90 on Metacritic and an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam, it would be dishonest for me to say that I think you will not enjoy Echo of Starsong. However, it would also be dishonest for me to pretend that I did. Basic probability says that you will likely love this game, but if the game’s random dice roll events have taught me anything, it’s that even the highest chance of success can still lead to a hollow tale of failure.

Boiled down it's a visual novel style adventure with space exploration similar to FTL and some light puzzles thrown in. But the way it all comes together to tell a coherent story is extremely well executed. And boy is the story good. I won't spoil it here but if you like a good emotional ride then look no further. 10/10 for me.… Full Review »

    Many people probably won't go past the first couple of minutes, if they even try it to begin with. The game's just not very "interactive", feeling more like a point and click or puzzle game, but if you can deal with that for around 9 hours it really is a lovely experience.
    I'm glad the GamePass app recomended it cause honestly wouldn't have even know this exists, but I loved it!    … Full Review »
