fofo, interessante, mas nada de especial
Has some jank to it, but definitely a fun Platinum to get as you maneuver each mechanic.
it's fine. the closet thing that i can compare it to is Journey (2012), but while Journey is visually striking with diverse areas and garners a deep emotional connection with the player without using any words, this game comes nowhere close.
Omno looks "nice" but on the whole is pretty bland to look at and explore. it's formatted as a pilgrimage across the world, but several of the many areas in the game are just repeats thematically. when i got to the final segment of the game in the sky, i thought "wow, this area is neat and goes beyond just being a desert or a cold biome like the previous areas" but then the game proceeded to make the two following areas the exact same visually. nothing is really special about this game, and while i feel there was an attempt to make this world feel diverse and novel with its inclusion of 41 different unique species, they don't actually do much of anything in terms of gameplay or story outside of giving you "energy" which you need to get one singular collectible in each area. of course, there's a couple exceptions to this rule, but for the most part, they're inconsequential. also, there's 'glyphs' which are tablets with some lore on them, but they all felt faux-deep and pointless.
puzzles aren't anything special, and the movement is serviceable. i appreciate that you gain new abilities as you progress, so there is more freedom of movement, but it doesn't feel particularly satisfying. i don't think there's really anything worth playing here, but it is wholly playable, and i did get some enjoyment out of it, so i can't in sound and fair mind give it anything less than 3/5.

Omno is a good game. Cozy and chill. Has simple, but beautiful graphics, a nice soundtrack, and the puzzles didn't make me want to pull my hair out. It also didn't overstay its welcome. I'd definitely recommend it.
