PC Critic Reviews

The game presents an epic storyline of knowledge and history, breathtaking music and ambiance, and a beautiful, photo-realistic world to explore steeped in a rich back-story of factual information from one of the earliest time periods in human civilization.

Perhaps the most unique addition toEcho is its documentary database.

The in-game music was a semi-prehistoric rendering that was appropriate for the certain settings in which the game takes place.

It is a charming title that is far from flawless but will provide 10-15 hours of gaming that will be unique and enjoyable from the beautiful graphics to the novel puzzles to the striking soundscapes.

The premise is totally original and the presentation is flawless, and you can’t help but leave the game knowing more about prehistoric man and the time in which he lived.

For twenty bucks you could do worse. Get it, play it, and enjoy it. Heck, you might even learn something.

Sadly this particular adventure seemed to be on the short side. Keen adventurers will probably polish this one off on only a few sittings.

Playing Echo is fun, but the game is fairly short, and the puzzles aren't always interesting, although many of them are engaging.

It is beautifully crafted, with only a few noticeable issues. If there were one real flaw to the game, it would be its length – it's too short! It was over somewhat abruptly, and I found myself wanting more.

As Myst-style adventure games go, Secret of the Lost Cavern is certainly one of the better ones, and some may find the puzzles a little more approachable than in that venerable series, even if the visuals are a little less fantastic.
