Review of ECHO: Secrets of the Lost Cavern by Houie
Great game. Another winner from Kheops. Great graphics, sound, story, and educational too.
Play time ~9 hours
As with other Kheops games, the games visuals are wonderful. The atmosphere and settings are very foreign to me and looked splendid. It makes you feel like you are in the old age depicted according to the story. It felt very adventurous.
The puzzles were also quite fresh, and I love how they integrated the puzzles in to the environment of the various settings.
The story is good but not too involving; the main interesting parts of the game are how they involve you directly in to the center of the story.
You may also learn some things from playing this but it is completely optional, as there is a hub that keeps track of things you encounter and give you some interesting historical facts.
The game is also suitable to all ages, as I am concerned. As any violence in the game is purely for the survival of the main protagonist and is characteristic of the age in which the story takes place.
