Made me sob like a little bitch and if that doesn't warrant a 10 idk what does.

Great: visual, sound, length.
So so: gameplay, a lot of back story but not enough development between the main characters.

There's not a whole lot to the gameplay besides passing dice rolls, resource management, and tuning songs, but the story and the lore are fantastically well told and the characters really prod at your heartstrings. And the soundtrack is just as beautiful as the previous entries in the universe. If you're looking for a more low-key narrative heavy adventure game, give this overlooked title a shot.


I bought this based off a random youtube review months ago, I finally came to play it now, and wow the ending was amazing. Probably one of the best I've ever seen. The space exploration gameplay is pretty decent for what it is, and the music and graphics are pretty incredible. I do think the development between the cast could've been better, and the start of the story is a bit too slow. But as I said, the ending really is incredibly powerful, tragic but also uplifting. Worth a 10 hour playthrough for sure.

I picked this game up at random and HOLY FUCK. This is one of the most immersive and enjoyable stories i've ever witnessed in my life. The ending destroyed my feels on par with some of my all time favorite stories. DEFINITELY give this one a try. It's such a beautiful journey.

素晴らしい曲と演出。そして無常さ。

Incredible game from start to finish. A short but heart gripping narrative with robust lore and an expansive setting that wastes no time meandering around plot points nor does it rush through anything. It manages to pace itself perfectly whilst also offering a lot of interactivity to the player for even more narrative and world depth by allowing players to actively search for extra depth using item descriptions and what not similar to Soulsborne games. Sound design is one of if not the very best I've seen in recent memory with the fact that you can solve almost every puzzle in this game simply using sound and closing your eyes which is incredibly important to a game all about music. Even for someone like me that does not care for indie games at all, this is a near perfect game.

Play this game. It's a lot of reading, but the lore is some of the most enthralling I've read. Add to that the absolutely beautiful soundtrack and amazing art, and you have a game that will definitely stay with you for a long time.

Sentimentalismo fallido.

De encontrar nuestro lugar en el mundo. Amar y pertenecer, incluso chorrocientos mil años en el futuro, fuera en el espacio, desterrados y sin nombre. De hallar nuestra propia voz y resonar en el corazón de los demás, los recuerdos que dejamos nuestra forma de viajar a través del espacio tiempo. Quizá solo seamos polvo en el viento, pero polvo de estrellas. No seremos ni un grano de arena en el cosmos, pero no hay estrella que brille como una historia de amor. Un viaje, una familia, un sacrificio.

El planteamiento es bello y hasta cierto punto su historia y world-building convencen, pero el sentimentalismo barato de OPUS: Echo of Starsong es un lastre demasiado pesado. Esos reincidentes flashbacks, subrayando; esos constantes lloros, con lágrimas enfáticamente animadas e iluminadas (sobre imágenes estáticas). Demasiado.
