    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.

    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.

    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.

I still liked it, just not enough to want to revisit. But if you're looking for a quick puzzle platformer to spend a free day on, I will say to check this out. Just don't be shocked if it frustrates you at times.… 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.

This being made by one person does make it more impressive but its just not enough to really recommend it. Its more a try if you like on gamepass which is good as I would probably not give money to this 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.

    Clearly we could have demanded a little more of everything.

    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.
