When the vessel bumps into an interstellar anomaly things get messy and it is Jack who has to handle the aftermath of the accident.
Lone Echo is a sci-fi first-person action game, developed by Ready At Dawn. The developer has previously made the acclaimed games The Order: 1886 – both those games were released on Sony’s consoles, but this time the creators prepared a title designed solely for the PC.
Lone Echo for PC takes you far into the future, to the year 2126, letting you play as an android named Jack. The hero, along with several other robots, serves at a space ship. When the vehicle bumps into an interstellar anomaly things get messy and it becomes your job to handle the aftermath of the accident.
The events in Lone Echo are presented in first-person perspective. Because the protagonist operates under zero gravity conditions, moving around in-game locations requires the players to use their hands – using motion controllers dedicated for VR headsets you grab virtual walls and railings in order to push or pull yourself in the desired direction. While playing you visit not only futuristic insides of the ship, but you can also take a walk in the cosmic space. An important element of Lone Echo are its environmental puzzles, which require performing actions like repairing broken ship’s modules etc.
Apart from a single player campaign, the game offers team-based multiplayer. Two five-person teams rial against one another, trying to throw a flying disc into the opponent’s goal. This is also played in zero gravity environments.
Just like it was in the case of the previous games of the studio, Lone Echo for PC is characterizd by high-quality graphics – both character models and environments were designed with great care for detail, and the visuals are further enhanced by advanced particle effects. In order to play the game you need a VR headset and dedicated motion controllers.

Game Ratings for Lone Echo Video Game.
Chalgyr's Game Room: 9 / 10 by Nick Herber
While Lone Echo is not the first game to take science fiction trappings and add a sense of weightless movement to the proceedings, it is easily the best example to date so far. The story is fantastic, the controls and visuals are completely immersive and is truly one of those games that could only be effectively conveyed with virtual reality.
Rapid Reviews UK: 5 / 5 by Jonathan Ober
VR games oftentimes follow a certain trope like recreating something you can do in real life, throwing you into a zombie apocalypse, or giving you a gun. Lone Echo on Oculus Rift differs in standard VR gameplay and drops you into the body of an android dubbed, Jack, alongside Captain Olivia Rhodes on a mission on a space station near the rings of Saturn. The game starts out with you aiding Captain Rhodes in some basic tasks as you go through tutorial-like stages by teaching you how to use your IO-sensor, welding torch, repulsion traversal jets, and a rocket pack. In the opening act of the game, you will move around the space station accessing control ports and s, turning dials and levers to complete small puzzle sections.
Destructoid: 9 / 10 by Patrick Hancock
I think VR developers are getting the hang of things. I'm no longer suggesting friends pick up titles because "it's a good way to kill 20 minutes," but rather because these are video game experiences worth having and enjoying. Lone Echo strikes an exciting balance between exploration and puzzles that make space seem like a playground for the player. It really nails the relationship between the two main characters and does a great job of telling an interesting, if a bit predictable, story thanks to a unique conversation mechanic and great voice acting.
