    Omensight is a sibling of Spearhead Games’ previous title. Just like in Stories: The Path of Destinies, in key moments you need to make choices that lead to mutually exclusive levels. It gives you an unparalleled impression of influencing the story and shaping the game world, so the first couple of short playthroughs are immensely enjoyable. The more you play though, the more evident the game’s simple, repetitive structure becomes and the initial enchantment fades. Look for Omensight on sales. [07/2018, p.82]

    Although the 5-6 hours adventure doesn’t outstay its welcome it nevertheless doesn’t manage to surpass or even reach the unquestionable charm of Stories: The Path of Destinies. The dramatic murder mystery cannot sustain the interest throughout the somewhat predictable or unexciting reveals and the quite linear progression seems to come at odds with the main “Groundhog Day” storytelling approach. Not be too harsh, it’s a quite enjoyable adventure but we preferred much more the heart-warming misadventures of Reynardo.

    Omensight is a title worth admiring for its bold storytelling approach and unique take on the action RPG genre.

    Omensight‘s fluid combat and colorful cast of characters are the stars in this time-altering murder mystery. The beautiful art style and personality of the game is enough to overshadow some of the sketchy platforming and camera angles. But the game’s surprisingly linear progression left me yearning for more mystery solving than was provided.

    A unique murder mystery that excels in narrative but is hindered by elementary combat, Omensight may have all of the workings of a good game but its shortcomings still take a big toll on the overall experience.

Spearhead Games caught my attention almost immediately thanks to their game Stories: The Path of Destinies so I was excited to play their new release Omensight. Spearhead Games has delivered once again, because I thoroughly enjoyed Omensight from beginning to end due to it getting their new release right once again. The first thing you’ll notice that they get right then is the presentation of the audio and graphics, which give the gameplay and fresh look to all areas. The already brilliant story was even better from the moment I started the game I was hooked by the game’s fantastic story and characters found in it. The gameplay also did a very good job of keeping me hooked as well and this was without a doubt due to the combat involved. I’m not exaggerating when I speak to the combat's depth and each move that you pull off feels satisfying. You’ll be able to pull off more powerful moves as you progress thanks to the upgrades that are made available to you, which makes obtaining these upgrades a worthwhile experience. At times an annoying camera and few small glitches here and there, can easily be looked past because the game just gets so much more right. The future seems bright for Spearhead Games because both the games I’ve played on the Xbox One were great fun and well executed. I definitely recommend Omensight because it takes you on an adventure that remains exciting and it features some of the most enjoyable combat you can experience. When you also factor in the fantastic story it makes this game a value priced journey that needs to be experienced. If you are a fan of the genre I would highly recommend adding it to your Xbox One library of games.… Full Review »
