Lately, there hasn’t been much noise in the game release world, aside from Mafia: The Old Country. However, before Echoes of the End hits the shelves, its review scores have started to surface.
The initial offering from Icelandic game studio Myrkur Games is an action-packed adventure. In this game, you traverse the realm of Aema, assuming the role of the brave warrior named Ryn, on a mission to save her beloved brother.
If you’re curious about whether this game is worth playing, we’ve delved into critical reviews to provide you an insight into what the experts think of it.
Echoes of the End review round-up: What is the Metacritic score?
As I type this up, Echoes of the End is sitting at a Metacritic score of 72 based on 12 expert reviews, and a similar 71 score on Open Critic from the same number of reviews. However, only a quarter of these critics have suggested giving it a try.
From highest to lowest, here are some of the scores that have come in thus far:
- GamingTrend – 85/100
- Impulsegamer –1/5
- CH – 79/100
- The Games Machine –8/10
- GameStar – 71/100
- PC Games – 7/10
- Checkpoint Gaming – 7/10
- Gamereactor UK – 7/10
- Loot Level Chill –7/10
- it – 7/10
- Dualshockers –5/10
- IGN Spain – 5/10
In simple terms, Joe Morgan from GamingTrend highly appreciated Echoes of the End, calling it one of the most delightful surprises of 2025. He admired its stunning visuals, captivating storyline, intriguing lore, immersive combat, intelligent puzzles, and well-designed traversal mechanics.
According to Callum Marshall from Dualshockers, although the game boasts impressive visuals, he expressed some reservations due to recurring performance issues. Regarding the gameplay, the intricate puzzles were praised, but the combat and platforming sections received less favorable comments for being subpar.
Midway through his review, Claus Larsen of Gamereactor commends the game’s impressive presentation, recognizing some intriguing concepts at play. However, he notes that the experience is hindered by technical glitches and design flaws.
From my perspective as an avid gamer, it seems there’s widespread agreement that Echoes of the End carries immense potential and boasts stunning visuals. However, it appears that in terms of mechanical depth, it might not quite measure up to expectations, despite its ambitious nature.
Perhaps worth waiting for a sale, or a few updates to fix those performance issues first, then.
