EQQO’s gameplay is less than perfect, with awkward controls and puzzles that lack challenge. However, with an emphasis on a well-crafted narrative and polished world, enhanced by a beautiful soundtrack and fantastic voice acting, EQQO delivers an emotionally engaging story. The non-VR version of EQQO probably isn’t the definitive edition of the game, but if you’re looking for a game that has heart, you could do far worse.

Critic reviews
- In the end, I wasn’t disappointed where the journey led me, yet I hoped the game’s many puzzles, traps, and obstacles provided just a tad more of a challenge. Either way, this journey still left a good impression of how the whole package is intriguing and heartening with its hook and narrative.
- While the switch version of EQQO is probably not the ideal way to experience this story, it is a cute and small game that is great for someone who is looking to play something in short bursts. Take your time getting adjusted to the controls. If you take on a chapter each night, you will more than get your money out of it. Just don’t go in and expect a full top-down Zelda dungeon experience.
- 8.0We were pleasantly surprised by EQQO. After a rather lacklustre opening segment, the majority of the game proves itself to be an engaging puzzle title with a surprisingly meaningful narrative to support it. If you’re after a challenge, you might want to look elsewhere, but for its price, EQQO is a lovely, relaxing experience that will keep you playing right to the end.
- 5.0EQQO 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. It was a game that one will desperately try to like, but it keeps getting in its own way with awkward controls and boring gameplay.
- A fairly uninspired puzzle game with awkward controls, the concept of Eqqo is never truly delivered. There are some emotional moments and beautiful environments, but it wasn't enough to keep me interested in the dull gameplay
