COG Says: Echoes of the Eye deviates from what made Outer Wilds a game of the year contender and half of it works while half of it doesn’t. .
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Echoes of the Eye’s best success comes from subverting expectations. That's been a trite saying for years, but it's incredibly rare to see an expansion diverge so much from the base game's tone and design while still fitting so well. By contrasting the original's inherent optimism with the dangers of retreating back to convenience and deliberate ignorance, it sharpens the message of both extremes. While those themes feel perfectly meshed, its rare mechanical pitfalls slightly dampen the overall experience. Still, what surprises me most about Mobius' latest effort isn’t just that the developer made a great expansion; it was somehow able to make a necessary one."
KeenGamer: "The announcement for a DLC to Outer Wilds left many people asking questions about the nature of its story. With Outer Wilds already feeling so complete on its own, players wondered what more a DLC could add to this world. How can you give an answer when there isn't a question?"
The Outer Wilds expansion Echoes of the Eye is out now to add even more mystery and adventure to the critically acclaimed Outer Wilds.
