I was liking the game, however there's a few things that I absolutely dislike. For one, you can set the volume of the cutscene all you want, however when a cutscene plays, I swear the game throws it back up to 100%. I have that stupid slider set to 20% and I still have to take my headphones off so I'm not blasted away. The volume of the SFX is inconsistent, especially surrounding the drones. I have the SFX slider set to somewhere like 40%, and I can barely hear the little sound that the drones make, but BOY CAN I HEAR the sound of when their lasers hit a wall. I also dislike the fact that you can't set the Y-Axis to be inverted. I play nearly every game with the Y-Axis inverted, but this game doesn't have any sort of option for that. I checked.
Would I recommend this game? Maybe for the first 9 levels, sure, but between the SFX being all wonky, the cutscenes not inheriting the proper volume and there not being a way to invert the Y-Axis, I would say to not bother.
I wasn't impressed by this game what so ever. I like the concept but i think it wasn't done well, what so ever. The controls are really clunky and I just didn't feel like I understood enough about the game.. it's clearly inspired by portal 2, but watered down to the point of blandness. It brings nothing new to the table. The whole concept of the game is to retrieve memoires, I understand that. But I think that this was poorly conveyed and I felt clueless for most of it.
Visually, the game seemed a bit half arsed. There’s minimalism and then there's simplification. this game was neither. it just doesn't look too good. The Ai drone and the spawn room are detailed with realistic textures. Everything else is flat colours. There other hallways look nice as well. Just the flat colours, completely ruins the vibe of the game . I’ve played loads of games that look awful but have really good game play, but the game play wasn't able to redeem this.
I tried to get a refund, but was refused because I had played 5 hours of it. i tried my best to stick it out and give the game a chance, but the whole confidingness about the game didn't make the game play any better. I really wanted to like this game; the trailer looked good, i love portal and Stanley parable. Sadly, this game isn’t something I’d recommend.
raise aginst the clock. i hate it not enuff time. and no way to make it easyer. it set to expert. they didnt follow the #1 role of game makeing. if i you make a game and its easy for you then thats the hard mode. beacuse you made it and know every move that needs to be made and when.
can you say rage quit..... good.. then redo your game and add more time..... fighting the clock and puzzle.
I feel the comparison to Portal is inaccurate--this game is much faster paced. You often need to reach point B while your echo is still at point A, and the timings can be very tight. Even after discovering the solution, I would often have to try several times to execute it correctly. And that's fine, it means that you have to understand what you're doing to solve the puzzle, at least for the later levels. Downside is that sometimes it's a bit frustrating.
The atmosphere is very cohesive. There's a constant sense of anxiety as you are on a timer, and your echo is going to catch up with you. The video clips enhance the atmosphere although I'm not sure what exactly happened.
I finished in 4 hours, FWIW. It explores the puzzle mechanics only as much as it needs to, and doesn't try to keep you forever.
Echoplex's premise of Echos that follow you is brilliantly executed and very unique. It also builds up nicely, introducing some unexpected complications.
Absoutely love the minimalist and unique visual style, and the live-action story that unfolds is really well done with some quality voice acting. The story is an intriguing blend of dystopian sci-fi, with elements of horror, and even some wry humour.
For me the mark of any good puzzle game is when I can't stop thinking about the mechanic long after I've stopped playing it, and Echoplex does exactly that.
At first, I got the game, and was really interested by the whole concept and gameplay. I continued to enjoy it until the 10th level, where drones are introduced, and suddenly, the mechanics of the game change. With puzzle games, I should be able to use logic to complete tasks, but the drones practically rely on chance, and for me, they never do what they're meant to do. On top of that, one single hit from these drones forces a level restart, which is really infuriating when I'm inches away from completing the level and get shot in the back.
Interesting concept and I very much enjoyed playing it, but they recently upped the computer spec requirements to play the game and now I lag. Is this the developers fault? No. Just take note that you should raise the bar on whatever spec requirements the developers are claiming you could functionally run Echoplex at.
Other than that, great game for those who enjoy puzzlegames like Antichamber or Portal!
Enticing, complex, and lots of fun. It feels like portal, but more thrilling. The follower mechanic literally made me jump several times. The story is a bit difficult to piece together, but I am keen to see where it goes. And hell yeah for South African gaming!
If you like thrilling puzzle games then this one is definitely for you. With the use of your "echo" you can be your best friend or worst enemy as you navigate the different levels, thrillingly racing against time and avoiding collision with your echo. The levels are a gradual increase in difficulty making it fun but frustrating with every success and failure. Highly recommended
Really Enjoyed the visual style and over all gameplay. The difficulty scaling was perfect! So much fun and frustration!

I had the privilege of playing the demo at rAge Expo and I am quite happy with the progress that has been made on ECHOPLEX. Still a long way to go before I can call it a finished game but I like the direction it's headed in.
The puzzles are extremely challenging even early on in the game, but also very rewarding once you complete a level.
Looking forward to the end result and I'll keep this review updated as I progress through the game.
Well done Output!
I have no words to offer except these three:
Just. Buy. It.
If I attempted to describe why it would be doing ECHOPLEX a disservice. You will understand once you experience it for yourself. Or will you?
