    Echoes of the End isn't a perfect game, but it is a bold and personal undertaking that demonstrates that Myrkur Games has something to say. Its setting, the charisma of its protagonists, combat that improves over time, and the use of magic to solve puzzles make it a highly recommended experience for those looking for something different from the usual. Visually, it's remarkable, its soundtrack fits well within the game, and its approach blends action, story, and exploration well. There's room for improvement in the technical aspects and in the variety of some stages, but the final feeling is that of having experienced an adventure with personality. That's why I highlight these A-list games, which fill in the gaps that others don't.

    Echoes of the End is a beautiful debut from Myrkur Games. It doesn’t just ask to be admired, it asks to be explored. With smoother mechanics and technical refinement, it could truly become unforgettable.

    Echoes of the End won’t be for everyone. If you need endless sidequests, checklists, or high-octane action around every corner, this might feel too subdued. But if you appreciate a more deliberate pace, strong presentation, and a story that respects your time, it’s worth diving into. At the end of the day, it’s not a perfect package, but it’s a memorable one. And during a time where there are more games than we have hours in a day; that may be Echoes of the End greatest strength.

    Echoes of the End is at times great fun, but it is sadly brought down by wonky controls, dull combat, and an endgame that drones on too long.

    The tech art and art direction deserve commendation as Echoes of the End is frequently breathtaking. The gameplay design is similarly breathtaking but in the way that it sucks all the oxygen out of the room.
