    Very beautiful and atmospheric game. You play a mysterious character that evolves in a rich and detailed landscape full of amazing creatures. If you like games such as Journey, Flower, Abzû, or RiME, that will be your type of game. Some people may complain that game is a bit short (4hrs) for the price; think about the fact this is a solo game dev and only one guy did that. Just for that,Very beautiful and atmospheric game.

    Way too unprecise controls for a platformer. Some puzzles and jumping sections have a very short time limit to get around. Very frustrating.

    Loved it. It's a puzzle platformer with gorgeous visuals and charming art direction. I really connected with the game and it felt very satisfying when figuring the puzzles my own way.

    Omno impressed me way more than I expected. It is clear that the game is very underrated and overlooked. It's perfect for fans of gentle exploration and platforming who want relaxing vibes and heartwarming moments. The world is fantastically realised - backed up with pleasant visuals and a great soundtrack.

    Short and sweet. Simple puzzles. Nice music. Spiritual successor to games like Journey/ABZU, Entwined, Grow Home, Spirit of the North, The Last Tree. In short, easy puzzle games without enemies, where the only thing that can “kill” you is yourself.

    If you want a game like this one but with a storyline and enemies, and closer to Zelda, play Kena: Bridge of Spirits or Rime.

    If you just like games with ambience music, check out the soundtrack and skip the game. This is meant to be a passive experience, after all. Just “cozy” gaming before cozy gaming became a thing.

    Game could’ve been harder in terms of puzzles, but that may take away from how child-friendly it is, especially cause there’s zero violence.    … Expand

    It looks and plays silky-smooth with a wonderful atmosphere, cleverly using indie-style simple visuals to create a convincing and mysterious game-world. I've only completed the 1st level so far...

    Loved this game. Was free with PS Plus Premium, and it was such a treat to play. Highly recommend if you're into chill platforms with beautiful scenery/atmosphere and great mechanics.

    A sweet and magical Journeyesque 3D Platformer, albeit a short one. The gameplay is simple and fluid, the puzzles are too. Atmosphere's wonderful, heavily owing to the magnificent soundtrack that ranges from mellow to majestic and is somewhat reminiscent of the Ori soundtrack.
    Altogether a recommendable little gem of a game.

    Short meditative journey, that ended just perfect for the story developers chose to tell us. It's very simple, just as visuals and gameplay, but it's not bad. If you want to relax, to enjoy easy puzzles and finding collectables, it's perfect chose.

    Take it from someone who doesn't usually enjoy unchallenging laidback adventures; OMNO is undoubtedly a wonderful experience. From its stylish visuals to its consistently rewarding collectibles and sense of progression, it really is the cat's pajamas.

    If you have any interest in puzzle-platformers, don't let Omno pass you by. It's one of the most heartwarming adventures you can experience on PlayStation 4 with a level of charm seldom found in the medium.

    Omno clearly takes a lot of inspiration from the all-time great that is Journey, and often feels very similar in terms of gameplay pacing and overall tone. Omno never quite reaches the same emotional highs as Journey, but in some ways, it does actually build upon its predecessor's groundwork, offering more opportunities for exploration and player freedom. Even if you're just mulling around an area, interacting with strange creatures and soaking up the vibes, there's a lot to like about this lovingly crafted title.
