    Omno never really grabbed me. The puzzles are extremely basic, the art is very basic, the jumping mechanics are poor, and the story is minimal at best. Some of the creatures kind of cool and there are some decent visuals, but that's about it.

    The most fun I've had with a puzzle+platformer, maybe ever. It's a game clearly made with love. Laid out in a very intuitive way, never unfair, rarely frustrating, with lots of nice touches, plenty of smile-inducing moments, and an absolutely gorgeous soundtrack. It just keeps getting better right to the unforgettable ending. Even the Achievements are just right. It's a phenomenalThe most fun I've had with a puzzle+platformer, maybe ever.

    A well-crafted indie game with a wonderful soundtrack I hope that Jonas Manke, Inkyfox get to make more like this. Just exploring the world and learning about what had happened to the world and its people through texts and interacting with the animals with abilities you gain through exploring. I had a very relaxing time playing this game and yeah it was short but it was an amazing experience.

    Very good Puzzle game, which I've been playing through with my 9 year old daughter. Lots of different biomes and creatures to discover. You will learn new abilities as you progress, which gives the game a good learning curve for younger gamers. great pick up on Gamepass.

    Sometimes it's nice to escape to a little world, with simple, easy to grasp gameplay, an array of interesting creatures and locations, and a consistently relaxing pacing. This review score might seem harsh, but it doesn't really do anything to stand out and the gameplay is a little clunky at times, and i hated the ending. However, it's a nice a game overall that i enjoyed playing.

    Amazing game to just chill and play. Great puzzles and plataforming segments, great visuals, and amazing soundtrack. I wish it was longer, but it was a really nice experience.

    Really loving the visuals. Only have a problem when trying to repeat a chapter I lost my progress. Fortunately, was just 2 chapters. Not a big deal. The music is perfect for the genre.

    A very well crafted game full of enjoyable visuals and intuitive gameplay and puzzles. It's a relaxing experience made to just enjoy at your own rhythm.

    Although it's mechanics aren't innovative the feeling of them are satisfactory. If you have GamePass it's worth it a try

    Beautiful, calm game with pretty simple mechanics but at the same time light and amazing journey. I've beaten it for 5 or 6 hours and I spend my time fun.

    Omno is a decent indie game that delivers on some cleverly designed puzzles, interesting lore and a lightly emotional story, but comes at the cost of unresponsive climbing mechanics and a lack of replay value. It's a fairly straightforward adventure similar to Journey, but also one that sorely lacks the same groundbreaking levels of art direction and music.

    The good:
    Simple ride simulator game. The graphics are very simple without elaborate textures but the draw distance, the environment animations and the plants captivate you. Several biomes to visit. Simple puzzles. Ideal for gamer is new who have no experience. Easy achievements and "in theory" none missable, 1000G to the bag for achievement hunters. It's on Xbox Game Pass

    The bad:
    Very short, not very replayable once you have finished them and you have the 1000G. The achievement of getting 100% by taking 100% of each biome is glitched if you try to use the quest selector to revisit a particular biome, so either take 100% of the maps in one run or start over from scratch

    Lo Meh!:
    Here there are no ludonarrative dissonances, whining (well in the end yes) and existential problems of the protagonist, control him, explore, have fun and forget about the rest. The puzzles are "accessible" and do not present a challenge. It's on Xbox Game Pass so enter it without fear    … Expand

    This is a relaxing game and is made for those with the collectors fever. Because that is all this game really asks from you its just collecting stuff and looking at beautiful things. These are also the only reasons why I finished the game.

    Long story short, decent game but nothing new or challenging just collecting.    … Expand

    Omno is not flawless, but it can entertain you with its great music and simple but eventually shocking story. Don't miss it, especially if you already have Game Pass.

    If there is one negative for me about the game, it’s that it’s too short. My playthrough lasted between three to four hours and I wanted more. But I can also see that sometimes short and sweet is better than long and drawn out. If the game was longer, using the same formula in each chapter, it might have become stagnant. I really hope to see more from Studio Inkyfox in the future. Omno is pure escapism in a short and sweet package. Controls are simple and controls are intuitive. Fans of meditation and exploration games will find Omno charming.
