    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I played this game I knew that it was some what like Undertale and I definitely saw the inspiration (which is not a bad thing). But I also noticed that the story was a bit cheesy on some parts like Deltarune. But aside from Toby Fox games, it was a very good game. The plot twist at the end wasn't really surprising to me, but I think that's because I heard that it had a heavy plot twist and I was probably searching for foreshadowing the whole game. I got the good ending apparently, but I have not the will to play through this whole game again, just to fight a few other bosses or getting another ending.
    The game play was fun when you actually get to play. The game has a lot of dialog which is sometimes interesting but frustrating when you just want to fight cool and creatively designed enemies.The puzzles that you have to solve are baby-like and not very original and it just pulls you out of the plot. The system with the emotions and follow up moves were very good ideas but go a little under in the endgame. I was waiting for a boss or something to test your skills or sum up the fighting system, but I didn't get that.
    Not the best RPG I have played, but it has a place up there.    … Expand

    Unfortunately , this game didn't give me that amazing feeling as Lisa, Undertale or OFF even if they are the same category of game's. Sadly this one didn't try to deviate from the standard formula which for me made it a pretty average experience.

Sadly this one didn't try to deviate from the standard formula which for me made it a pretty average experience.

    The combat , puzzle and exploration parts of the game were all very basic and even when the combat is fair it took a very short amount of time to learn the enemies patterns and the way the EMOTION mechanic works.
    The Puzzle's were pretty basic (which is fine) and the exploration felt in most times really tedious.
    The Soundtrack was fine , there weren't any songs or boss battle themes that made me feel pumped up I only enjoyed the Credit's Song which was really well done and was perfect for the ending.
    The character's are nothing to write about unfortunately even if you spent at least 14 hours with them they are not that fun , charming or witty that you get to really like them.

    The strongest point of this game is the story , which unfortunately drags out for too long , this is one of the game's that a shorter game time would've been better , by the end of it I was just getting bored to walk everywhere to find a missing KEY for example. The ending and our Main Character's backstory is what make's this game above Average, it was visually interestingly explained and provided enough details that you can clue together to understand what is happening.

    An Above Average Experience honestly I expected a bit more but it's still worth playing it ( if you enjoy tedious walking and scenes where nothing is happening) 7/10    … Expand

    I have played this game for 6 hours. Honestly I just can't get into it. I know this game wants to be an Undertale type of game, and I loved Undertale but this just doesn't move me. I have found the combat to be pretty boring and the story is somewhat intriguing but not enough so to keep me playing. I hear the ending is good but I have no motivation to keep playing to see it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The twist reveal of the game is way too edgelord and thinking about it for any amount of time makes it crumble into a mess of... How the F? But what matters most is... you cannot just pose murder victims as suicide and get away with murder, doubly when its two entirely different methods of death... sorry its just asking too much of the "suspension of disbelief". Because the twist/reveal requires so many things to be excused by the player it comes off as just desperately edgelord. The Gameplay, Music, and Art are all 10/10. If you think video games tell good stories you'll probably love this game and should definitely check it out. Id play it again and can't see the story as anything but a joke.… Expand

    Playing the game felt like a chore, but watching a youtuber/streamer play it while I watched was an amazing experience. The story is amazing(besides some plotholes) the characters are great and the writing is fun. The only aspect I didnt like is the gameplay. Yeah, the emotions system is great and the artwork is INCREDIBLE, but it just felt boring after a while.

    The game has a story that, although it becomes predictable at times, is interesting and good at times, and the psychological terror is quite good, but most of the game-play is boring, every time the story gets interesting the game cuts it abruptly to send you the most boring levels I've ever played, the characters go from being deep and interesting to planes and meaningless jokes, when IThe game has a story that, although it becomes predictable at times, is interesting and good at times, and the psychological terror is quite good, but most of the game-play is boring, every time the story gets interesting the game cuts it abruptly to send you the most boring levels I've ever played, the characters go from being deep and interesting to planes and meaningless jokes, when I played it for the first time I expected something similar to undertale since many people compared it but I must say that I I was very disappointed, even if you remove undertale the game is still boring, with interesting moments, but boring, I would not recommend this game unless you are a 12 year old.… Expand

    While I have been lucky enough to not lose a loved one to tragedy, Omori still managed to make me feel the despair of losing someone cherished, and the powerless feeling of being able to do nothing to bring them back was replicated perfectly. The game tackles the idea of acceptance and escapism beautifully, and when the credits rolled, I did not move for a while. It is one of those persistent games that follows players even after putting the controller down. I think about it more than I expected to; it creeps in at night before I sleep, and whenever I come across a screenshot or hear the name, something in me just recalls the weight of it immediately. People process loss in completely different ways and at completely different speeds, and Omori never pretends otherwise. What makes it so remarkable is that it does not ask players to have lived through something specific to feel it. It just asks for attention. And with attention, Omori will find something in players to pull on regardless of what their lives look like.

    Omori is certainly not for everyone. Someone who values gameplay much higher than storytelling will come away feeling bored and frustrated with the overall experience. However, those who value a game's plot and the emotions that games can elicit will never be able to shake Omori from their headspace. It is a flawed game in many aspects, but I can't help thinking about it throughout my daily life (especially while opening up the spice cabinet), even having finished the game over a month ago. While the entire middle of the game can be frustrating due to its poor design, the third act is well worth everything that comes before it. In the end, everything else faded away, and it all felt worth it.

    Having played through OMORI, I’m confident say that it’s an experience I won’t forget. This is a game I wholeheartedly recommend for those that appreciate a good story. With a strong emphasis on catharsis, it has a lot up its sleeves. The cutesy and colorful presentation hides a grim reality and it hits hard. Highly recommended, OMORI is a gem of a game that definitely deserves recognition.
