Echo Generations out now GamePass

Well, I know what I will be playing this weekend immediately after Scarlet Nexus (🤢🤮). I enjoyed the demo, I am hoping the full game is as good.

Oh, I thought this was going to be about Star Trek Next Generation: Echos From the Past on Genesis.

Oh well.

It's kinda like Paper Mario?

Just look how far ahead this little indie looks when compared to Dread🙃Playing Scarlet Nexus🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

You're just becoming like white noise now.

Is this good or bad? Because i ain't abandoning a $60 side scroller.

Tried the demo this summer and i'm definitely going to play it.

@gym_lion: True, it was one of the few trolls I considered funny but is really becoming just background noise.

It's neither. It's indifference.

That's not cool. Anything but indifference.

Has a Costume Quest vibe to it. I'll give it a go. ;)

PSA - Carto is leaving GP already, and that's a good little game folks should try if you're into indie puzzlers. Looks like it is for little kids but has a solid ageless humorin it and some puzzles are challenging while all are at least entertaining

@xantufrog: I have got finish that game.

Looks like one of those Halloween theme cartoon animations.

No thanks, I’d rather watch paint dry.

That is understandable when your system can't run a simple game like this. 😎

@Pedro: we call that a blessing in disguise.

I'll have to give this a go and add to the list of games already in thebacklog.

@Pedro: is scarlet nexus bad? I was interested in it, how's it play?

Japanese game, must be bad.

@shadyacshuns: I heard good things about it, people have compared to astral chain and DMC. I'm interested in it, need to try it soon on gamepas

So is it a turn based RPG? Love the art style.

Been playing it since it released.. fun game

It is the standardish JRPG. If you like JRPGs, the game would not disappoint, well except the level design post city area. 🤢🤮

Just finished the game

Took me just over 10 hours of playing time. Got 44 of 50 achievements (940 gamer score out of a possible 1000) in the process.

Fun game to play (and done by a Canadian developer :D )

Came in hoping this was another dolphin game :(

But I guess y ou'd spell that "ecco"

Fun little game. If you like it I'd suggest Bug Fables, which is somewhat better than this title.

@mrbojangles25: That's what I was hoping for.

You start the game as pregnant dolphin that has to survive and find a safe place to give birth. You then go on some family adventures before getting caught in the "cove". Now you take control of the baby that had to witness it's whole family slaughtered before it's eyes! From there you befriend a Siamese fighting fish that teaches you Fin-Fu, which you are tasked to teach to the whole pod! This culminates when you locate and destroy the murderous humans that butchered your family.

Ohh... and your lateral lines (I don't think dolphins have those) are turned red from swimming through your mother's blood.

Somebody give this person some money so we can get this game made!

Needs a death metal soundtrack to it, to slay humans to, of course.

Thought it was some new Ecco the Dolphin from the Genesis.

ive been playing back 4 blood and hades. Theres so many great games on gamepass, these gems get passed over often.

The art style is great and the storytelling is solid. However, the combat is terrible. It is turn base real-time. You take turns in attacking but the attack is real-time but typically in the form of a quick time event. The game allows you to block enemy attacks with QTE. However, not blocking attack deals double damage. If you die on a boss, your health is halved on respawn and you permanently lose any items you used in combat. Enemies (especially bosses) can deal damage that is 50-75% of your health in one attack if you mess up on the QTE. Typical enemy attacks are about 30-45% of your health. The only way to heal is sleeping at home which requires you to run back to your house, pet heals or using items that cost money. But, money is generated by killing enemies and the enemies will stop respawning after sometime. The average earnings from enemies is a $1 and progression is gated by comic books which cost money ranging from $20-$100. As I am playing right now there are 6 enemy locations and all 6 of them have been exhausted.

@Pedro: There are other places to sleep once you unlock them.. the cabin in the woods, and the house on the train tracks

edit: and if you die on a boss there is usually something near by that will always have stuff in them (but only once you die)
