    Ruined by timers
    Onirike is a 3 hour long 3d platformer set in this weird tim burton styled circus world, here you play as bald beatle juice, I absolutely love the astetitic and the world of onirike, its so charming, full of great charcters and your story is being narrated as you play, making you feel as though youre in a story book, here youre tasked with obtaining 7 fragments to a key, youl ldo this by throwing switches across various platofmring obstacle, in a way this feels like a collectathon, everything takes place in once giants level, there are no other worlds than what you see here, there are save points that saves progress and allows you to keep your memories, and at the end of the day youll be whisked away to this field to gather seeds, these seeds are used as checkpoints essentially once enemies and hazards are introduced and this is what, at least for me.. ruined onirike… youre essentially on a timer the entire time youre playing..
    as youre playing youre slowly disappearing, this wil make you invisible, if youre invisible for too long you automatically die and lose all progress you’ve made since oyur last save… how do you stop this? You plant a seed, a checkpoint grows, yorue visable again, so youre balancing dropping checkpoints with doing these puzzles so that you don’t become invisible making the 3d platforming that feels very old school even more frustrating.. all while youre racing.. get this.. another clock.. one timer wasn’t enough.. youre dealing with 2 timers through the entire game… once dawn comes oyu have to drop everything you are doing, leave in the middle of this long winded 3d platforming puzzle, to go to this save point.. or .. you guessed it.. you lose all of your progress… why… what was the point of this… these platofmring sections are annoying enough let alone forcing me to restart them no matter what.. I either have to restart them because Im out of checkpoints and lkeep turning invisble or I have to restart them because I didn’t do them fast enough, this is eseentially a 3d platformer that the developers want you to speed run… with clunky feeling control that’ I could be way more patient with if I didn’t have to race the sun, there are even some moments the game expects you to turn invisible, memorize a layout, become not invivible, and jump across thiiese invisible platforms, that are hard enough to get across when you can actually see them.
    Onirike is a charming game set in a charming world, but it proved to be too frustrating and annoying for it to be a hard recommend.

On the one hand the eShop can use these to help broaden the appeal of the system to budding or more casual gamers, but on the other they don’t tend to aim very high and can thus be pretty repetitive and dull. Certainly the art style and story are unique, and over the course of your adventure you’ll at least learn a few skills to try to help spice things up, but at the end of the day this is a friendly but pretty ho-hum platformer with a pleasant story and unusual characters but not a whole lot to keep things interesting.
