60 of 105 · most liked firstA fine game with fine combat, story, visuals and music. However The game is 80% environmental puzzles. I find this sort of thing incredibly tedious. An enviro puzzle can make for fine flavour, but not a main course. If you have a high tolerance for tedious puzzle padding, buy this on sale, maybe. Otherwise you can miss it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dragged Out and Forgettable Really wasted potential here. Because I really like simple linear action adventure games. But the game has some serious issues. Writing and Characters Writing is really bad. Can't say the voice acting is great either. The old guy was good with the voice acting (I finished the game 2 weeks ago and already forgot the names). And he is the only interesting character in the game. The story is so dull, and the main character is such an annoying one. Tempo and Game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maybe a little biased here... But my kid worked on the game so this was the push I needed to finally make a Steam account. So far enjoying the game. Having played most of my games in the late 90s and early 2000's I played the game on story mode, and so far I'm managing to make my way through this. And Kyrkjufell (the mountain in the background) deserves a reccomendation all on it's own
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: It seems like a dark fantasy ARPG but it's just environmental puzzles for days. I like the story and the world, I love the voice-acting and the characters, but damn getting torn out of the game and into puzzle mode blows. And I usually like puzzles, just not running around an area doing jank counterintuitive stuff like this to get back to the rest. Way too much of this, unfun, like playing two different games wrapped in one and not allowed to play the one game out of the two that I care…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yet Another AA Gem EDIT: They fixed the combat. Ryn's movement feels more natural, animations are both weightier and faster, and I actually want to parry now. We're not talking best-in-class; it's not suddenly a FromSoft game. But I don't think I would have dropped the difficulty if this had been the version I played, so it's an even heartier recommend from me now. This game does have a lot of problems; movement feels floaty, combat lacks weight and enemy variety (I dropped the…

unlabelledView post →It was an intense game. I did like the story line. There were so many puzzles. I could have done with a few less puzzles. Some of the mechanics were challenging. I was using the mouse and keyboard. But if I can finish the game at 72 years old, many others can do it. They threw all the fighting toward the last. It was tiring but I did enjoy it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Echoes of the End is a visually stunning, story-driven action-adventure. Its gameplay is simple but engaging with solid combat, puzzles and unique Shift Moves that add some strategic depth, even if it is not groundbreaking. P.S.: I sometimes got dizzy while playing. Breaks and settings adjustments helped but I would prefer if the game had an FOV slider. P.S.2: Windowed and borderless modes do not work well with dual monitors, which may cause issues. 🎚️ Difficulty 🔲 My grandma could play it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, it's a close call but I can't recommend this. The biggest problem is the insufferable main character who is consistently demeaning to everyone around her and persistently telling her companion to, "just shut up". As a *role* playing game I don't find it enjoyable taking on the role of this individual. There's no evolution of her character so there's no real journey in the game so you ask yourself, what's really the point? Additionally, nearly the entire game is a Jedi Fallen Order rip…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think Echoes of the End is one of the closest “triple-A games” a double-A game has achieved in a long while. It has breathtaking, utterly mesmerising scenery painted with photorealistic textures (most likely using photogrammetry or megascanning to build and create their gorgeous environments in-game) inspired heavily by the equally beautiful locations of Iceland. The best aspect about this game in my opinion is the animations. These are some of the best and most fluid character animations I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great AA game, clearly made with love. It plays a lot like "God of War (2018) at home" and I mean that as a compliment. I found that it had a good combo of puzzles and combat, with some light exploration for optional lore entries. It's fairly linear, which I am honestly coming to prefer over open-world checklist-type games as I get older. I never played this before the Enhanced Edition update but performance was solid and the graphics are beautiful (is Iceland really that pretty?).…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've only played the Enhanced Edition update but at least with this update this felt like a worthwhile experience, though it's obviously a smaller budget title with some significant flaws. I ran into some bugs (characters teleporting weirdly and one spot I couldn't progress without reloading a checkpoint) but despite that I had a good time completing the game. With the update the combat felt fine if a bit grindy. I like that it wasn't following the soulslike trend, there's no stamina, just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nearing the end of the game, and I can safely say this is an excellent puzzle-platformer, with great combat reminiscent of the Jedi Fallen Order series, with an excellent and compelling narrative and even better worldbuilding and utterly gorgeous environments, which, if you've been to Iceland, will look very familiar! 9/10, highly recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS GAME'S PRESENTATION IS A SCAM. Do not purchase this thinking it's an RPG, action-adventure, or combat-focused title (as the screenshots show!) It is a glorified puzzle game with mediocre combat and miniscule RPG mechanics layered ontop of it. Unfortunately I spent 40 minutes too long before realizing this, goodbye money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m about four hours in, and I’m genuinely surprised. This feels like a AA version of God of War—but with even better platforming and puzzles. The only thing holding it back is the combat. It’s not bad, but it lacks polish and flow. The main issue is that the developers went with a sort of animation-commit system. You can cancel attacks in a small window, but once you're about 15% into the animation, you're locked in. That leads to a lot of frustrating moments because the enemies are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the most underrated game of 2025 (AA level). Loved every minute of it, a true vestige. The devs have implemented some really interesting ideas for platforming and traversal, Level design is awesome and on point. The combat is really good although it borrows heavily from other games. The mountain backdrops are amazing during exploration of linear levels. The story is simple but effective and really good. The characters are all awesome and likable. For achievement hunters this is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't recommend this game. The game isn't so bad , however It made me Angry. First of all I don't like when game developers made game longer by Puzzles, there are to much puzzles for one game, they were not very difficult for me, but they took time . Big quantity of puzzles doesn't let me believe that the world is real. It looked like and a chaotic place where are just puzzles . Jumping Puzzles were my pain , because not all time it worked correctly and I felt down and were angry about it…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Echoes of the End lables itself as an enhanced edition, but it is still in a rough state. The controlls don´t work consistently, and they´re finicky at the best of times (chosing a direction for your shifting is the worst offender here) My biggest gripe though is that the game is full of little points of no return, ensuring that every little thing is basically missable. Although exploration is not a big thing anyway. There are chests the game lables as secrets, but mostly that means there…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thread: I wanted to give some good impressions for the game Echoes of the End I'm currently playing as a lot of people are asking... is it worth it. So let me explains my pros and cons. First off I'll say for a debut studio, this is might impressive. That said, lets start with the cons first. 1/8
unlabelledView post →Echoes of the End isn't the best game, but it's definitely pretty.
unlabelledView post →Hadn't heard of this game until I saw it in a "similar to a game that's similar to a game that I liked" when looking for a good action RPG, picked it up on the steam summer sale, just finished it, and have zero regrets. I guess I'm glad that the Enhanced edition updates happened before I found this, since a lot of other reviewer's complaints seemed to be non-issues for me. Pros: - fun combat with great animations - gorgeous scenery - kept a steady smooth framerate - story is good enough…

unlabelledView post →It's overall ok. The launch in August was rough, but looks like developers really took criticism on board and made a big effort to fix the most glaring issues. This is the primary reason I'm recommending it, though I'd wait for a good discount myself. The game looks pretty, but performance was one of the big issues. Right now it doesn't look like playing it without picking an AI upscaling option like FSR or DLSS is even an option. It doesn't look as good as the trailers even with FSR 3.1 set…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really excited for this game at launch, but when the reviews were mixed due to performance issues, I decided to wait until they patched it until I bought it. My review below on the patched EotE game, spoiler free: Story: The story for any Action/Adventure is key. Without a story that people want to keep diving into, people go through the motions to beat a game they paid for or abandon it and write negative reviews. EotE does a great job with story telling, introducing you to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Things I like: . Worldbuilding . Beautiful visuals . Immersive soundtrack . Interesting and versatile combat . Platforming . Level design . No open world . No soulslike . Story (straightforward but good) . Characters and dialogue (story) . Super ultrawide support Things I do not like: . Characters and dialogue (banter and small talk) . Not enough enemy types . Movement and jumping is clunky sometimes . Loot is underwhelming
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am struggling if I should give this game a thumbs up or down. I liked about the game: * The world desing: It's a really pretty game * The puzzles: They are veried and interesting * The abilities: You get new abilities all throughout the game so there is always something new * The mechanics: There is always new mechanics and old ones are left behind so you don't get overloaded but also not bored What I did not like: * The story: It was very bland and predictable. Sometimes I was…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good, especially for a studio's first release. A bit janky here and there and a few bugs, but overall a great experience and can't wait to see more from Myrkur Games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super hate that we live in an age where Video Game/Movie has Black/Female/Queer character and it's immediately called a DEI game. HATE THAT. But yeah our existence isn't political. Anyway, I'm probably gonna buy Echoes of The End out of spite but it does also look like a fun game.

unlabelledView post →Shorter games is great. I finished Mafia Old Country, fantastic time. I'm about half way through Echoes of the End... also been a good time. And I started Robocop Unfinished Business and that game is petal to the metal ACTION almost right from the get go. All "shorter" games. I see no issue.
unlabelledView post →This is a GREAT AA game and puts any AAA game within the past couple of years to shame. Great story, excellent visuals, linear, puzzles that actually challenge you, good progression system, great characters, audio, and voice acting. Well worth buying. Is it worth $40? Probably not, but on sale? Oh yes it's a steal. Go have some fun folks.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My indie game of the year... (if this is considered indie?) Echoes of the End... and especially after they updated it, it feels so much better to play and they went above and beyond what most devs would do. Action adventure fans need to take note.
unlabelledView post →A solid game. Worth recommending. Good storyline, satisfying combat, interesting puzzles. Not demanding in terms of hardware. With an RTX 4060 and Ryzen 7500f, it maintains a stable 60 fps at medium-high 1440p settings and looks really good. The only downside (for me) is the main character's behavior. She's conceited, rude, and full of herself. Maybe her character evolves later in the game, but for now, she's very annoying. However, that's just my opinion, and it doesn't spoil the gameplay for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay I decided on a game called Echoes of the End
unlabelledView post →Not only are the endless puzzles boring and distracting from the actual story, but never in my LIFE has a game given me SO MANY PROBLEMS with graphics and i've played amazing games way more complex and beautiful than this one. When i finally think i've fixed the issues the screen tears for no apparent reasons and nothing i do can fix it, i really tried to like this game but i feel ripped off.

unlabelledView post →For an "enhanced edition", it's still too rough around the edges. And it should really be tagged as a "Puzzle" oriented game above anything else.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, I finished the game thrice. First on story difficulty to do most of the steam achievements. Second time simultaneously on story mode to do speedrun less than 10 hours. I think this achievement is NOT a good idea. The game is half a RPG. What we HAVE is more less good. Nice heroine. In the first chapter nice environment. Dark, cloudy or misty almost everywhere else. No weapon management. Armor only visuals. Some only differs in colors. When you unlock armor you are given item to mount…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Good: A Gorgeous World and Deep Lore Visuals & Atmosphere: Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game looks stunning. The environments, from decaying ruins to eerie caverns, are highly atmospheric. The lighting and facial animations during cinematic cutscenes are top-notch. Story & Characters: This is the game's strongest suit. The relationship between the protagonist, Ryn, and her companions is beautifully written. If you love story-driven, linear fantasy games with rich lore, you will easily…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well worth the 30 bucks! The beautiful vistas alone make me wanna grab a ticket to Iceland (inspired landscape) immediately. The combat is fluid and by the end of the game, you're a force of nature. The game consists of: short travel section --> combat arena --> puzzle --> short travel section. In that sense, it's nothing new, but the constant dialogue between Ryn and her companion keeps feeding you lore and emotional weight. The world and the characters are what truly shines in this game, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played a game developed by the Icelandic studio Myrkur Games recently. Echoes Of The End. Fun combat, challenging, but fair environmental puzzles. Well written and performed. And the environments inspired by Iceland are stunningly beautiful.
unlabelledView post →WARNING. This game could cause excessive hair loss due to pulled-out hair (due to extreme frustration). Order some minoxidil before playing. But, seems a nice game at the start: - nice gameplay/combat/puzzles and some seemingly new ideas that provide a bit of depth - nice story - nice graphics - nice performance (on a GTX 5090) - nice (but certainly not perfect) PC gameplay/controls Nice, right? Certainly a 7/10 But at some point you'll notice things which make the game really not so nice: -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not sure what the game was like on release as I only played it after the Enhanced Edition came out, but, this current version of the game? I had a great time with. It is a really impressive AA game. Looks great, runs well, has strong characters, quite good voice acting, a good story and some interesting world building, and has some really great vistas and area reveals. You can see the inspiration from the recent God of War games, and it feels somewhat like a mashup of that and a more typical…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even with the Enhanced patch, the developers can't seem to fine tune their jankiness — but the experience is actually a good one, even if I'm not sold on Ryn's personality and the overarching plot, the world building is intriguing enough to keep me playing. Plus, Myrkur Games have very talented artist and developers that it is worth giving this game a shot. It takes clear inspiration from God of War 2018 with maybe a bit too much puzzles, combat is decent enough and pacing is ok.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can recommend the game. It´s well made. The combat is good and not extremely difficult. But that´s not main focus of the game and that´s totally fine. The puzzles take a good part of the game. And it´s remarkable that the puzzles are diversifeid. Every chapter brings something new in terms of a new skill or game mechanic, so that it not gets boring. The game is fun and worthwhile the time you spend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Echoes of the End has issues, don't let me sugar coat it. There is a little bit of roughness/jank sort of throughout the game. From combat, to some minor glitches, and more... but it's the world, the story, visuals, adventure, and ambition from a brand new dev team, that I appreciate and adore.
unlabelledView post →Games dont often hold my interest long enough to finish them these days but this one did. It wasnt overly long to finish and the story was engaging. Gameplay reminded me of a cross between tomb raider and jedi fallen order. if you like that style of game you will like this. I picked this up on sale and more than got my money's worth.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mostly a puzzle and walking simulator with an disrespectful protagonist who is good at everything.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought it during the winter sale, went in completely blind. Good game liked it for the most part. Decent Story, some small gripes but overall an easy recomandation from me if you like story, platforming, good caracter development, decent puzzle variety and decent enough combat.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great story and fun combat make this one a must have. Collectibles, in-game cosmetics, nice magic system, and more. 12/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really solid AA gem here, especially for a dev team's first game. Good story, pretty environments, fun bosses and surprisingly large amount of variety in the game's levels, particularly in the back half. It's got enough jank and roughness around it's edges (i.e. wonky platforming, some bugs etc.) to hold it back from being outright great but I'll still give this a confident thumbs up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The bugs need to be fixed. I cant recommend this game till there is less bugs. In chapter 1 i got soft locked cause the enemy wouldn’t break a wall it’s supposed to enter through and no matter how many times i reset or tried to get it to attack the wall nothing happened. Ill give the game a few more months before picking it back up on a sale but the frustration was annoying.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoyed this game. Echoes of the End has great world building, well written characters with good character development, and wonderful voice acting, along with a fun and interesting story to tell. I do highly recommend giving this game a chance. The combat really allows you to flourish depending on your play style, and is challenging. There was only one puzzle I got stuck on that I had to look up the answer, but that was because I forgot some of the abilities and how I could maneuver my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished the game in 16 hours on hardest difficulty, but didn't like it really ... a lot of wall climbing over and over again with zero challange. The game becomes a slog halfway through, and I was getting bored. The combat encounters were mostly the same throughout the game. Story & world building is kinda interesting but they really don't make any with it. There are sections in the game were the character talks a lot to themselves, pointing out hints and puzzles and loot and random stuff in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sigh, I guess this is one of those 7/10 games where your enjoyment depends on how much you like the positives and how much the negatives annoy you. The game's combat is really fun, the melee plus abilities system doesn't get old, and it's always fun to manipulate your enemies via telekinesis essentially. Puzzles are fun to figure out, platforming is decent, and both of these introduce new mechanics steadily, which I enjoyed. The story is kinda mid tho. While I think the main characters…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I guess the next game is going to be Echoes of the End. Keeping up my streak of games staring women and/or Leon.
unlabelledView post →Dear Epic/Myrkur, Is there any chance at all that you can fix the damn engine powering these games?. Like all other UE5 games, the constant crashing renders the game completely unplayable. I wouldn't mind if I was running on a potato, but I'm really not (Ryzen 9 7900x/ RTX4090/ 32GB 6000mhz ram). This is a constant, known, issue and the lack of fixes is simply unacceptable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is exactly what I expect from AA games. This is essentially God of War w/ more puzzles & less depth as it's not a AAA game. I'm having a blast with Echoes of the End. Performance has been solid as well. Highly recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes if your'e a fan of parkour games and puzzles, because there is a lot of the former. Its a very linear game with a somewhat predictable outcome. There are some interesting mechanics for the puzzle solving. Some of the combat can be a bit clunky but overall i had some enjoyable hours.
