Ecco: The Tides of Time - As Scary as the Original?

Despite looking cute and serene, Ecco the Dolphin on the Mega Drive/Genesis is one of the scariest games I've ever played, leaving an impression on my young self and so many other '90s gamers - so let's finally check out its sequel, Ecco: The Tides of Time, ahead of its forthcoming remaster. Like its predecessor, under the surface, it's a surprisingly dark, unsettling sci-fi tale of alien invasion and time travel, taking a cue from HR Giger and the Dolphin House insanity of John C Lilly. So once again, swallow your thalassophobia and let's take a deep dive into this The Tides of Time retrospective to see if it's as terrifying as the original. 0:00 The Horror of the Original Ecco 2:55 Return of the Vortex 9:53 Fear and Globing 14:25 Back to the Future 17:27 Welcome Back to the Machine 21:42 Analysis - Still as Scary? 23:57 Artistic Influences 27:03 Final Thoughts The Horror of the Original Ecco the Dolphin:    • Ecco the Dolphin - The Scariest Game Ever ...   Ecco Remasters and New Game Speculation:    / gulxuwptp8   Amazing Ecco fan art by Vanessa Chacon (tumblr.com/atolm) Scottish Highlands photo by Dave Goss, nautilus photo by Manuae via Wikipedia.
