- Yep, Lone Echo is the best VR game I have ever played and I can honestly owe a lot of the inspiration and passion I have for VR and this channel to this game. I love it, and if you haven't already, I'd really recommend you to try it.

I've gotten a few complaints about there being too many spoilers.
If you want to completely avoid any and all spoilers and just want my thoughts on why I love the game,
then skip 01:19 to 02:49
I just got Lone echo, spurred by your reccomendation and.. DAMN. This game KICKS ASS. The quality of voice acting, the fidelity of the world... Its just.. Awesome. THANK. YOU. your video pushed me over the "Ill get to it" procrastination wagon, and into the "OMG WHY DID I WAIT" Ferrari. this game runs amazingly with ALL the graphics cranked to high on an AMD 3800x , 16 gb ram and 1080Ti graphics card on the Valve Index. Thankyou Thrill.
Dude, nobody is going to read this comment first before watching the video
@@azrizainzainal8119 I already said there were spoilers IN the video lmao
@@ThrillSeekerVR Dude, a lot of people see these videos in x2 speed, or sometimes just listening the content while doing another thing, your warning written on the screen is not enough for all cases
In the future I'll do better, thanks
Robo Recall was my first "Holy shit!!! VR is the only way to play games from now on!!" experience. Fucking love that game.
Robo Recall is the first game I had really played in VR (I did have a friend who was able to let me try a couple quick demos in his oculus beforehand). I was at a mall with friends and they had a demo stand for the oculus with RR as one of the choices, 20 minute demos so it was a nice play session. I had to use revive later on because of my HMD choice, but it was still a great experience. Probably the most enjoyable arcade-style gameplay one can possibly get right now
that, beatsaber, and superhot vr are pretty much the main vr games im playing right now (i have quest)
While Robo Recall is certainly great and looks fantastic visually as well, I'm with ThrillSeeker on this one. Lone Echo is hands down the best all-around VR experience there is for utilizing the benefits and immersion of VR - it's locomotion combined with great story that flows very naturally really lock you in like nothing else I've played in VR.
There are plenty of other great VR games, but Lone Echo is up there.
I’d recommend using Sidequest for the oculus quest. Some good games on there.
I'm a pretty big Pavlov fan. PSYYCHED for Boneworks.
this is why i dislike people who demand game devs make their games teleportation based and review bomb them until they do. Can you imagine if the default locomotion for Lone Echo was teleportation?
I suppose they could always add both. But I do prefer free motion myself.
@@evolicious Not true. I went straight to locomotion on my first VR headset and never had any issues with it.
Who the hell wants teleport, I have always thought the hole point of vr is immersion teleporting breaks that so quickly...
Unless it's a ability or something not that Iv played a game that teleporting feels good
Budget Cuts did teleporting well, its stealth mechanics relied on it and it wouldnt be nearly as good without it. VRChat also has the holoport locomotion, where you stay in one spot but your avatar walks around until you stop and then you teleport to the avatars location.
@@EruAnor Same. Straight to locomotion and smooth turning.
You had me at "7 hour long Star Trek episode"
Star wwaaaaaaars betteeeeeeeeeeer nerds
Jk
I like trains Star Wars has gone to shit
YES YES YESSSSS!!
YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!
For where things are right now WRT VR I agree. Lone Echo will be the game looked back on as truly showing the astounding potential of VR.
I played this and remember thinking how much everything had just changed about the definition of a "computer game".
If you have not played Lone Echo..... Do so.
If you do not have a VR headset buy one and play it.
If you dont have money, get it
I would love to but when I get a good enough pc I will. Since it is not on the quest atm.
It’s ridiculous you don’t have more subs, this content is of such high quality!
maybe it's due to spoilers
Your comment made me sub
And here we are 2 years later, Thrill rocking it! :)
i agree i played it about 1,5 years ago and it still the best VR game i have ever played
Completely agree, Lone Echo blew me away once I saw a few UA-camrs do lets plays, that's what convinced me to get VR in the first place, and I love every minute of it!
Lone Echo is one of my all time favourite games period
Same here. It's actually up there with Half Life 2.
@@DMan-ud6bt have not played half life or half life 2 should I get them or just save for a link cable(I am a quest 2 user) and get Alex
@@chasemathwin3911 My advice is to get Black Mesa (remake of Half Life), get Half Life 2 (and play the free "Update" mod), get HL2:Ep1 & HL2:Ep2, get Half Life Alyx, and play them in that order.
I'll add, you should buy them NOW, while they're all on sale.
@@DMan-ud6bt yeah I saw that a little after writing my comment I ended just buying The Orange box with Half-Life 2 and the chapter things and also tf2 it did come with portal but I already bought portal but still great value for $4 thank you for telling me anyways I am having a lot of fun in half-life 2
@@chasemathwin3911 Glad to hear it!
whats really great about echo arena is that the graphics are still some of the best in free and paid games.
Totaly agree! One of few games where the characters had an impact on my emotions and feelings.l got attached to them as if I had known em in real. Nice video!
Its really weird seeing this three years in the future knowing how amazing of a channel you have become for the vr world, you are personally the reason i had gotten a q2 to try echo vr a year ago and now the reason im buying an index and rift s to explore the rest of whats possible. I doubt you will ever see this but thank you so much for showing me vr and specifically echo, its helped me through countless hard times and ive made to many friends there. Thank you
You know what’s insane? How this game has phenomenal graphics and looks amazing but is only 40 bucks, and my favorite game on the *switch* is sixty
Pearlescent and the multiplayer version is legit free
My reveiws:
Echo Arena: 8/10. Release date: July 20th, 2017
Echo Combat: 9/10. Release date: November 15th 2018
Lone Echo: 10/10. Release date: July 20th, 2017
Lone Echo 2: 11/10. Release date: October 12, 2021
I know this wasn't your intention but I'm getting really hard battlefront (2005) nostalgia
Mann I loved the old Battlefronts
I'm in the middle of a heavily modded Skyrim VR play through on the Index with Vive controls and a 2080ti. I am absolutely blown away at how cool it is. Everything else pales in comparison. Hope we see more older gems ported to VR like HL2 etc. Lone echo looks great hope it comes to Steam!
You *can* technicaly play HL2 in VR but you need to play it through G-mod, and it doesn't work that well. I hope someone does a proper port soon!
Boneworks is my Lone Echo. I've been playing VR for months now, mostly VRChat and Pavlov. Started playing Boneworks a couple days ago and I am HOOKED. I can completely understand where you're coming from here.
Lone echo is a transcendental experience of a game.
For me it’s beat saber it’s so simple and fun I can’t imagine myself not playing it anymore no matter how long I’m sure I will still find myself going back to it
Robo Recall was my "wow" moment. I did finally play Lone Eco but to be honest it was actually the sequel trailer that got me to buy it.
The game was amazing, the story was memorizing, and the fungus stuff gave me "Alien" level of anxiety. But when it got slow it did feel like a "go here, now here, oh this happened now seal it"
Maybe the story got boring because of VR since quick time events don't exist in VR too often. The story was paused and constantly getting told what to do just felt like a nagging parent.
the reason this game is so special is not because of the amazing graphics it's because of how much care the developers put into making every single object and item touchable and interactable.you're not putting your hand through any machines that are just there for decoration you're not putting your hands through any walls that aren't actually there everything is real.
RE7 for me. Even on the PSVR it just punches well above its weight.
No mans sky has taken my number 1 spot for psvr
I'd already purchased a copy of Lone Echo by the time I watched this video, but this review hammered home my own views on the game. It's one of the few games I've played in the past 5 years or so that legit made me craving more after I'd completed it.
I agree with you. Echo combat and arena were both mind blowing and defining moments in my early VR days. Thank you for the review! I’m looking forward to the Quest release of echo arena. Maybe I’ll see you there!
This is the second game I bought from my Quest 2. I am playing via airlink at 120hz with x1.7 resolution. I was afraid of motion sickness as I get it on boats and planes. I played a 3 hour session on my second day of VR never felt sick at all. It’s incredible. I get the same feeling you mentioned about just looking around in awe. I want to mention I played the whole game seated on in a gaming chair spinning about.
Resident Evil 7 is mine since I have PSVR but damn, 2 minutes into the video and the game already looks awesome. definitely need to check it out whenever I can :3
Doc. Devil that was amazing. Never finished re7vr that’s how scary amazing it is.
I'm playing through downward spiral horus station right now it's kind of similar to lone echo ie. Trapped on a spacestation floaty mechanics but it has gunplay i think i like the gameplay better but lone echos presentation is top notch
I still think Beat Saber will be remembered as the first successful VR-game though! 😌
Lone Echo was the only VR game that was so immersive to me that I had to get used to me real hands again after playing it for a while
"Small spoilers nothing major"
(Literally describes over half of the plot)
Good thing I'm planning on getting a quest soon, also that PvP mode looks like enders game so I must have this
Totally agree! I have yet to find a VR Game that provides what Lone Echo provided. Very well written and a clever way of taking care of movement in VR. I'm stocked for LE2 🎉!
I'd been planning on installing the oculus home and installing revive for a while, but i'd just been making due with other titles. Lone echo and stormland both have been interesting the hell out of me. Im installing the oculus home now, this and robo recall are going to be first grabs.
Totally agree with this. One of the best game I have played in VR and it stands up too even the best flat games. Going to replay this game on valve index before the sequel comes out.
I agree Lone Echo has a quality that makes it extra special. The atmosphere is great and the ease of movement means there's very little to intrude upon your immersion. It's an exciting game with a mystery that you legitimately care about. I haven't discovered a VR game yet that re-captures that 'wow' factor. RoboRecall is great fun, but it's not very deep. Arizona Sunshine embraces the platform well and is good for some quality game-play, but I don't really sit around thinking about it after the fact.
I am late to the party but I just saw this video, and you know what? You've convinced me. I am picking this game up right now to check it out.
Boneworks and HL:A are probably gonna be the VR defining games for me.
Boneworks receiving amazing ratings so far, and people hyped for HL Alyx
Im so fucking happy vr getting more popular
Man watching this vid gave me chills. Describing your experience the first time playing it matched mine almost exactly. It’s a beautiful game that I think I’m gonna go play again...I wonder if I can finish it before my ap test in a couple hours...
Bro, right there with ya. This is probably my top VR only game, and would be my top overall VR game if not for Skyrim and FO4. Asgard's Wrath is also giving me a similar feeling too, and I'm hoping Stormlands ends up making me feel this way.
My upbringing to gaming was Garry’s Mod, an exciting multiplayer game that I could play for hours on end every single day when I came home from school. Beautiful game
Fax, I have over 1700 hours in it. apparently there's a VR mod for it now
I can´t agree more. We need more games like this. I really hope Lone Echo 2 releases in the not to far future.. It has been quiet for a long time..
The competitive mode is taken straight from the movie "Ender's Game" - go watch it..now!
Exactly. Amazing scenes in the movie and a great movie overall. Way too underrated.
Correction*: go *READ* it
@@Joe-my6go nah thank you, the movie is fine.
@@RanTaoSama The movie is fine. "Fine" is the right word, it's just that, fine. The book is amazing. Unfortunately, if you've seen the movie, than the end plot in the book is ruined. I understand reading books is too complicated for some but for anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet, read the books. It's so much better.
Not to count, the movie is just a simple 2 hours made for the mass. The book is sixteen novels, thirteen short stories and 47 comic issues. Much more content.
@@HoboTango "Complicated for some" you my friend, sound like an asshole. I understand the books are probably better than the movies, and I understand that is the case with most adaptations on screen.
But "some people" would rather watch a 2 hour movie, with a great score, great visuals and outstanding acting. Than spend many more hours reading letters.
Books do not make you smarter. Movies do not make you lazy.
Vr as a whole: Beat Saber
Oculus: Echo/ arena
Vive/ Index: Half Life: Alyx
I feel exactly the same about this game. Stuck a friend in Lone Echo and actually went out to have a beer with some other friends. When I came back he told me not to worry about him and to just leave him in there. I woke up the next morning to find the guys still on his feet playing Lone Echo. Dude bought a Rift the very same day.
Kim Joosse brother I had the same exact experience but with 3 friends. However one can’t afford VR so he literally comes to the house and is like can Inuse you VR. I tell him have at it and I leave him there.
This and robo recall are handa down the beat two games in VR. I have downloaded the mod so i jump and go smooth locomotion on robo recall and its like a whole new game. Lone echo multiplayer arena and combat are also great games. I fell. Like there are a lot of 2d games that could have a great revival in VR and do very well. Imagine COD, GTA V first person. Crysis series. Left 4 dead 2, Ghostbusters, Titanfall 2, the list is endless.
Loving it so far. Although it seems like your hands do clip through things unless you’re holding the grab button, which I found disappointing. Also a shame “up” always has to be the same way. It seems weird and immersion breaking that I can’t change my orientation on any axis by twisting with my wrist. Although I fires if they did that with realistic physics you might end up accidentally spinning a lot and get really sick. Minor quibbles though. The game is phenomenal. First time I’ve seen a open world where it’s just stuff floating in space. Mind blown.
The first vr game i ever played was beat saber on my brother’s cv1 which is what drove me to buy vr and beat saber is still my favorite vr game and what comes to mind when i think of vr maybe its the simplicity of it but i just love that game
Yuh, beat saber is a whole other level !!
Echo Vr > Lone Echo
Change my mind.
Great video.
I definitely have more hours in Echo VR than in Lone Echo that's for sure.
Only have played echo vr cuz I am a quest user but I'm definitely looking into setting up link to play lone echo
They're kinda two different things.
I've been thinking a lot about making the leap into VR but this video was single-handedly push me over the edge thank you so much.
Cant wait for the sequel soon. Hopefully it has a few more big action scenes.
I agree. Lone Echo is really the best experience so far. Hopefully we will have new games that knock it out of the #1 spot.
I agree with you, I found it truly incredible and I had never played anything like it and in the same way. Really wonderful
Honestly you are 100% right. VR in general is immersion. The focus should be long story mode games and not only just quick mini sessions. Glad I subscribed your honest i love it !
For me it was SuperHot VR. There was this VR course on College for Third years (I am second year) and I Just walked in and asked If I could try. I had already messed around a lot with Cardboard VR, Cause I could not afford the real deal, and asked If i could Give it a shot. It was amazing! I got fully immersed and I am currently saving up for a Quest. A while back I also played Asseto Corsa with a wheel set up, but the action in SuperHot was What really won me over to actually go for a real headset.
I ordered my Quest a few days ago before seeing this vid but will definetley order the game. Thank you for your recommendation. I Really look forward to enjoying this title that I may never have have found if not for this video as I have never heard of Lone Echo before this vid.
Welp Thrill, you know I love me some OW! I’ll pick this up as I’ve grown to trust your opinion. Thanks for giving me a reason to pick the VR headset up.
Whatever you do, don't watch this video and forget the name of this game. I'm getting my first headset soon and, after recalling this old video, I have tested every combination of search terms in attempt to find this title or Thrill's review of it. IME, searching 'Zero gravity space VR game "echo"' will, without fail, deliver Echo VR lol
Man. I really hope that the HTC cosmos will live up to the expectations because I can't wait to get a headset
@Zwenk Wiel I don't have a rig yet because the navi prices are bizarre at the moment, so I still have some time. And I really wanna see what the cosmos has to offer. If it ends up becoming some kind of mox between the rift S and the Quest I'll take it
But I'll still have to save up anyways because I won't be able afford a VR headset after finishing my rig
I do agree though. Waiting all the time is pretty useless as your lifespan keeps decreasing whilst you can also spend that precious time just enjoying what the present has to offer
I have Rift S and Vive Pro and I literally never turn my Vive Pro on anymore. Rift S tracking is pretty much fixed (though admittedly I haven't played Pavlov in a while) and it's so cheap in comparison. With HTC I've had 3 broken controllers, 1 broken original headset and bad customer service, I'll never buy HTC again. I don't want to sound like a hater, just saying be wary of HTC, they're letting themselves down.
@@futurecactus So HTC is doing their absolute best to becoming the apple of VR?
@@holo6883 lol, don't get me started on Apple or you will see the hater come out in me.
wow, how could anybody, even new to vr, or still considering getting into vr, not have heard of lone echo? great game. one of the only AAA feeling games out there, with a long story. and there is a second one on the way too.
Cannot wait for LE2
I was not aware of this game, so Thank You !
Pricy ? Nope, DCS World flight sim has cost
Me a thousand dollars for all the planes, helicopters, and maps. Then the pedals and
hotas were $700 never mind the 2080Ti.
I recently purchased Boneworks, and I find
it odd that I can do the flight sim for a few
hours, but Boneworks strains my eyes, and
that strain lasts for hours after just an hour
or so.
Thanks again for sharing, I will look into it
I just built my new rig and picked up an Oculus Rifts s. I bought Lone echo and Robo Recall. I agree man, Lone Echo was amazing! The story, the graphics, the game is a new standard for VR. Now I cant wait for Stormlands!
Dude! Stormland looks amazing! I've heard so many great things about it.
Thank you for this video. Been playing Echo Arena for almost 2 years now and when I tell people about this game they have no idea what I am talking about. Hopefully this gets more interest from people who have never heard of this game.
I never thought the story line was slow at all. It just blew my mind when Olivia went missing that how the story just shifted into gear suddenly.
This and Wilson's Heart was my mind changer about VR.
Great video 👍
Thanks :)
Yeah I personally didn't thing the story was slow, but from the people I did talk to that lost interest in the game, that was their complaint
And then came Asgard's Wrath.
Very deferent games, have not played either they both look very cool
I’m so incredibly excited for echo coming to the quest
OCULUS, YOU’RE KILLIN’ ME
I think it won’t maybe or if it does it will be a only quest version and it won’t be as long or look as good it’s a 50 gig game
*echo arena
@@coletonrussell2141 i legit wouldn't really care if it was 50 gigs, i'd be happy to uninstall some of my more memory-heavy apps in order to play it
I guess the reason many people don't really know too much about Lone Echo is cause it's an Oculus exclusive. I suppose there's Revive, but I think there's still a lot of people who don't bother going that far. I haven't. I was planning on checking out more of the Oculus exclusives once I got the Oculus Link Headset Cable, but it's been out of stock for eons now.
Edit: And yeah, you covered towards the end of the video. :'D
I adore lone echo, I got it the day I bought vr, didn't really touch it beyond the first 30 minutes. But then maybe a month or two later I played it again and fell in love, I stopped just as I reached the ship, went back to it a week or two ago (6months) after the last pkay through and finished it. And holy hell was it an amazing experience all over again. By far my favourite story driven experience in vr and even in gaming for a long while
Agree with every word, the game is awesome a breath of fresh air to the gameing market obsessed with zombi shooters.
Just got my Oculus S this weekend. Definitely add this game to the list.
Personally for me Blade and Sorcery was really what showed me how amazing Vr combat could be. I had a really cheap set up with a lenovo explorer (I regret my life decisions) and even that showed me that a good game with solid combat, mod support and a TON of potential in Vr existed and It got me excited for what could possibly come. I downloaded one mod and it made me play it every day after work for a solid 3 hours at max. Like B&S is pretty simple when it comes to stuff you can do and for some reason I kept coming back and finding new ways I could kill baddies and then one lightning mod made me basically only play that game. Aaaand then one day my headset broke :( big sad
...tiny spoilers? I had no clue those blobs were even a part of the game until now. :(
Can't wait for the successor! In my opinion this game alone is worth it buying an oculus headset.
Hoping this comes to quest. I know the Echo Arena is coming, but this would be really cool. Out in space... floating around in the incredible isolation of space... I love a good space game.
Lone Echo is the best VR I played as well. It didn't, however, stop me from selling my Oculus because the screen door was so bad on my eyes. Waiting for an HD/4K version at least to come out. Yes, the tech is there. Yes, I will pay $3000+ for it.
Just looking at this mares me want my own VR set even more, but I think I might wind up waiting until brain-machine interfaces become more common at this rate.
My "holy shit moment" was for sure beat saber, it's a fucking classic
Ready at down also made The Order wich is one of the best looking games on PS4 even when its almost a launch game. Hope they keep making some good VR games.
I didnt even know this game existed. Echo VR is great
Its certainly one of the best vr games, my favourite is resident evil 7, just wish it was on pcvr as ps4 doesnt do it justice graphics wise. But still the best psvr game imo. Fallout 4 gets slated a lot because of performance but once u get it running as u want its defo in my top 5 vr games. Skyrim is up there as well 🙂
I rate RE7 up there with this as well as far as being a great game but Lone Echo takes far more advantage of VR. If only RE7 would just add hand tracking and come to PCVR it would be much better, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
Rebel Assault, Diablo, Unreal, Half-Life 1 and 2, Far Cry, GTA V and Crysis are my Games where i felt a new generation of Games is coming. In VR felt that in Lone Eco, The LAB (bow-shooting), Onward and SuperHot ...looking forward for Half Life Aylex :-)
1:10 I wonder why.
Maybe because it is not in Steam?
Where u buy it?
@@The_Egomaniac Oculus store
The ending was INTENSE, so intense I literally yelled at the AI. Red Matter is great too but this was amazing.
I just got it for my rift s looks amazing man love it!!! Nothing compares to vr
For real!!! Glad you love it :)
not to mention it has some good quality voice work from some of my favorites like troy baker, liam o brien and laura bailey
I have never heard of this but looks very cool! The game that I always played and I used to do live videos of on dlive was RIGS VR!!
My favorite game is Blood and Truth. The story and the amount of things to do are incredible. I get tired of VR games where you do the same thing over and over again, I’ll have to give this one a try.
at t=79, you are a robot, and, clearly the reaction of your HUMAN captain told a lot about your place in this society as a robot when you put your hand on her arm :D
So yeah... Now I have to to play this game too, with my vive that is...😊👍🏻
Agree, best game yet. It even has german dub (and some more localizations I guess), took me some time to discover that in the settings lol
My first VR experiences angst on the gear VR. I was blown away. I have revisited since I got my Oculus Quest and it's not as good as it used to be now I've gotten used to better
For me....No Man's Sky, Lone Echo and Asgard's Wrath
The one that hooked me was No Mans Sky... To be fair, I bought PSVR just to try NMS in VR and NMS was my first VR experience but still, NMS will now be my stand-out game for VR
While it doesn't fully utilize VRs potential in some senses, Hello Games has done a phenomenal job bringing that masterpiece to VR, and though Lone Echo is still up there as the best all-around VR title, No Man's Sky is the one I spend my time in now.
Two points.
1) NMS on PCVR is amazing once you've dialed in the highest playable graphical settings for you system.
2) NMS on PC absolutely requires the need of your regularly (after each play session if you did much at all) backing up the st_######… folder that's found here - C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS
hint: you have to show hidden folders in the View section of the file explorer options to see the AppData folder.
Now it's Asgards Wrath numero uno for me. Awesome experience.
I've just finished Lone Echo yesterday, got my Rift S not so long ago. And DAMN I wish that game was longer! I wanted to explore that future at the end and be Captain Jack :)
Sooo this was actually my first VR game I've bought, I hope I will find another good game eventually if this is the best...
i'm new to VR and i'll definitely this game out, the combat mode scene at the end is modeled from a movie called Ender's Game, well worth a watch as well. :)
THANK YOU for telling more people about this game I first played this game a while back and have been telling almost everyone I know about it cause its an AMAZING game
You didn't have to spoil the story dude. The twist was the coolest part of the game, just like SOMA.
Will have to give Lone Echo a try. Right now No Man’s Sky Beyond is my favorite VR experience but only have around 12 hours sunk into it. Will see if it is something I want to continue or if it becomes too much of a slog.....
The graphic look really amazing
Still the only game I completely loose track of where I am in relation to my room. Stoaked for this to hit the quest so que times go down. This is gonna be huge when it hits the quest.
