We start on an impressive note with Echo Point Nova from Greylock Studio, the same talented minds behind Severed Steel. Greylock has presented it as an open world FPS, and judging by their previous work, expectations are indeed high.
I agree! The positive Steam reviews show players are loving the game. One reviewer mentioned riding a hoverboard across different terrains with relaxing music, making it perfect for explorers like me.
I was more hooked on experiencing the intensity of battles. The way another reviewer compared the adrenaline spike that arenas provide to Doom Eternal’s master levels made me itch to try the combat. To me, that level of high-octane gameplay is a huge selling point.
Not to mention that movement has been highly praised — one reviewer plainly stating movement feels good. As a speedrunner, I totally appreciate games that prioritize mobility.
True, and let’s not forget the mystery surrounding this unnamed planet keeping players engaged. From the sound of it, the main quest to halt the operations of mercenary forces wielding ancient technology promises to be a breathtaking narrative.
The story does provide enough motivation to explore further. However, to counterbalance the intensity, Echo Point Nova offers that satisfying freedom of simply traversing the landscapes with a grapple hook or hoverboard – something that is a treat for open-world lovers.
As a pro gamer, what intrigued me was the diversity of enemy classes. From pyromancers to elusive sappers planting turrets, and even helicopters – not only does this call for serious gaming skills but also well-crafted strategies.
The hidden secrets and power-ups in the game open up possibilities for optimization. The mention of game agility orbs that enhance mobility sounds like an intriguing feature for speedliers.
Who can miss the artistic style in Echo Point Nova? The graphics appear top-notch, capturing every detail from forests, deserts to mountain ranges. A great job by Greylock Studio!
Not to mention the sound design. The mention of laid back music while hoverboarding across these landscapes paints such a vivid image. It’s another dimension of well-crafted ambience this game offers.
Echo Point Nova, according to the developers, may pose a challenging difficulty on its default settings. The multitude of enemy classes and their tactics only add to this. Yet, what’s appreciable is the flexibility it offers for difficulty setting customization.
Another noteworthy point is the game’s promise of continuous growth. Greylock Studio’s commitment to post-launch support echoes their approach with Severed Steel, suggesting Echo Point Nova will have ample replayability.
We’ve got an engaging plot, meticulous crafting of enemy classes, stunning graphics, and attention to small details, which combine to form the essence of Echo Point Nova. I’d recommend fellow completionists to check out games like The Witcher 3 or Red Dead Redemption 2 which offer similar attention to detail in a open-world environment.
For NewGamer types craving exploration with an epic plot and breathtaking landscapes, Breath of the Wild or Skyrim would be excellent follow-ups to Echo Point Nova.
I would say it’s a must-play for lovers of high-octane, strategy-invoking games. Competitiveness cravers might find similar satisfaction in Titanfall 2 or Doom: Eternal.
If speed and precision thrills you, Dusk or Ultrakill, both fast-paced shooters, are certainly games to try after your Echo Point Nova adventure concludes.
