WellPlayedAsh WaylingSep 20179.5/10A thoroughly unnerving, yet innately rewarding experience that graciously pocketed hours of my life, and had a lasting impact. In our world of instant gratification and wrought gameplay experiences that are ever derivative, ECHO stands to surprise us all

DualShockersJordan LoefflerOct 20178.5/10ECHO is a game with a singular gameplay mechanic that it delivers on with precision. Its setting is a spectacle, and its plot is well-developed despite some slight details that feel glossed over and an ending that barely wraps everything up. Those looking to invest a little time into one of the more unique and stylish titles of the year will find a great experience. If you're hoping to spend a bit more than eight hours into ECHO, there aren't additional gameplay modes, but the option for increased difficulties unlocks after the first playthrough, and there are plenty of collectibles available to keep the avid achievement hunter busy for a while longer.

DestructoidKevin MersereauOct 20178.5/10I have never played another game quite like Echo before. Folks are always rallying for innovation in the industry, and I can't think of too many better examples of that in recent years. It's not all perfect, but what's there is extremely refreshing. This is not an easy game. You will die a lot. You will get angry. However, when you finally defeat your opponents, it's like sex. A huge release where, for a few small minutes, you genuinely feel like you just accomplished something. It's glorious.

TechRaptorMatthew ArrojasOct 20176/10ECHO tries to reinvent the wheel with its new take on enemy AI. While the game ultimately succeeds in doing so, the end result is having a fancy new wheel on an otherwise mundane sedan. The rest of the game simply doesn't do the enemy AI system the justice it deserves.

FingerGunsPaul CollettOct 20176/10Despite all the innovation and good looks, the core gameplay is too restrictive and dull and you feel that Ultra Ultra had run out of ideas and made certain sections just too long just to pad the game out. There is potential here, it's just been poorly executed, but I do look forward to what Ultra Ultra do next.
