In EQQO we are facing a mainly narrative adventure, which will take us about four hours. It is a very pleasant experience visually and soundly. It presents a moving and introspective story with the originality of being based on a little explored mythology such as that of Ethiopia. The experience is ruined by the abrupt and dizzying camera system that...

Overview
Eqqo is a heartening tale of a mother, a blind child and an Egg - voiced and captioned in many languages. A multi-layered story full of symbols and metaphors about hope, love, nature and everything that connects us. It has four to five hours of exploration and puzzle solving in sacred lands and monumental temple rooms, as well as 25 hidden parchment scrolls to find and reveal new parts of the legend.

EQQO is a really charming, interesting game that unfortunately all comes apart when you get around to actually playing it. The presentation is great, the story is wonderful, and it feels like this interesting little storybook is unfolding right in front of your eyes.

EQQO is a fun puzzlegame that lets you enjoy a strong story about a boy and an egg. The game features more than 30 levels, but takes only four hours to complete.

EQQO on Switch isn't a good experience. The narrator and soundtrack are great, but this kind of fascination is missing from the rest of the game. Controls aren't intuitive at all and many technical issues cause a lot of frustration. Thinking of EQQO, I'll remember two things: A great story and a lack of fun.
While EQQO has a few shortcomings that are quite apparent, it's multi-layered, touching story and easy-to-understand puzzle mechanics make this journey worth a look.
