Collector interest

Ecco - The Tides of Time, the sequel to the dolphin Ecco's adventures brought to Game Gear, released in North America. An extension of a Sega series with a uniquely contemplative mood, it transposes a beloved aquatic world to handheld. Its collecting interest stays moderate, the title being fairly widespread on the North American market, but benefits from Ecco's particular aura among franchise fans.

Is Ecco - The Tides of Time still worth playing in 2026?

A sequel to Ecco's adventures, Tides of Time extends the dolphin's journey into future seabeds, with new powers, metamorphosis phases and even trickier puzzles. The dreamlike atmosphere and the beauty of the undersea settings remain a peak of evocation, at the cost of a still demanding difficulty. The Game Gear version compresses the adventure but keeps its spirit. For a fan of contemplative experiences or of the first game, the title keeps a striking singularity and poetry, reserved for patient players.
