The controls are ridiculous. The environments are boring. The music is tinny. The gameplay is uninteresting.
The game punishes you horribly if you fail even a little; makes you wander through mazes for no real purposes, and is a difficult to play, uninteresting, and unenjoyable game.
The initial scene in Ecco is so difficult that after 30 minutes in my pre-stream playthorugh, I never figured out how to get past it, and had to look up a guide. I'll admit I'm not the best gamer, but the lack of any kind of indication as to what you were supposed to do with a difficult manuever that only works when you do it just right sets the scene for the whole game.
I believe there are only two games I have ever abandoned in the middle of a livestream for simply being too crappy: This is one of them.
To this game I say: I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
