In the realm of gaming, the balance between narrative and gameplay mechanics can make or break a title. “Echoes of the End” presents a compelling story with rich character development, yet it leans heavily on puzzles that can disrupt the flow of action. While the protagonist Ryn embarks on a heroic journey filled with magical elements and emotional depth, the game suffers from an overabundance of tedious puzzles that often feel more like busywork than engaging challenges.
