"Omno" beckoned me with its promise of exploration, discovery, and a tranquil journey through captivating landscapes. The initial moments were undeniably enchanting, as I set foot in a world teeming with lush beauty and seemingly limitless potential. The ethereal atmosphere and serene ambiance succeeded in evoking a sense of calm and wonder, setting the stage for a promising escapade.
Venturing deeper into "Omno", I found myself immersed in an array of captivating environments, each offering unique challenges and puzzles. The game's traversal mechanics, such as gliding and dashing, added a layer of dynamism to the exploration, allowing me to traverse the breathtaking vistas with a sense of fluidity and grace. These moments of mobility were undoubtedly the game's highlights, providing a sense of empowerment that resonated deeply. However, despite the promising start, "Omno" began to exhibit signs of monotony as I continued my journey. The pacing, which initially felt deliberate and purposeful, gradually devolved into a sense of sluggishness that hindered my engagement. The serene atmosphere, while initially captivating, began to lose its impact as the absence of variety and new challenges detracted from the experience. The game's penchant for exploration, while commendable, sometimes bordered on aimlessness, leaving me yearning for more engaging objectives.
The puzzles, though engaging at times, often failed to evolve beyond their initial novelty, contributing to a sense of repetitiveness. While some challenges offered moments of intellectual satisfaction, others felt predictable and formulaic, failing to provide the depth and variety needed to keep me fully engaged throughout the journey.
It's important to note that "Omno" does have its redeeming qualities. The minimalist narrative, while subtle, offers a sense of purpose and intrigue that kept me invested in uncovering the mysteries of the world. The art style and design deserve commendation for their aesthetic appeal and the tranquil ambiance they evoke. Moreover, the seamless integration of traversal mechanics adds a layer of excitement to the exploration. In conclusion, "Omno" is a game that embraces serene beauty and simple pleasures, providing fleeting moments of enchantment and tranquility. While the initial allure of the lush landscapes and graceful traversal mechanics is undeniable, the experience falters over time due to pacing issues and a lack of variety. Despite its shortcomings, "Omno" manages to offer occasional glimmers of enjoyment, making it a title that might resonate with players seeking a meditative escape.

Un jeu contemplatif dans la ligné de jeux comme Journey ou Abzu. Le jeu est court mais c'est ici un qualité car la longueur le rendrait pénible. La brièveté permet au jeu de nous montrer de nombreux environnements, chacun peuplés de nouvelles espèces fantastiques et avec leur mini énigmes et séquences de plateforme. On débloque entre chaque zone une nouvelle compétence ce qui permet au jeu de se renouveler et ne pas nous ennuyer malgré sa simplicité. On débloque par exemple la capacité de surfer sur notre baton ce qui donne lieu à des séquences plus dynamiques et un déplacement plus satisfaisant. En revanche la recherche de tous les objet dans chaque zone peut s'avérer ennuyeux si on commence à y passer trop de temps. Le jeu ne va pas surprendre mais fait ce à quoi on s'attend de manière réussie. L'histoire n'est pas très prenante et la conclusion bien que correcte nous laisse un peu sur notre faim.
Omno es un juego de plataformas y puzzles inspirado en otros juegos como el Journey.
Todo es muy sencillo, desde la jugabilidad hasta los gráficos, pero está bien hecho y es bastante agradable. En lo que más destaca es en la banda sonora, música típica de este tipo de juegos, pasando de tranquila a épica y viceversa.
En todo nuestro viaje nos acompaña una criatura que nos guía indicándonos la dirección correcta y marcando objetivos. Todo el juego es avanzar de un sitio a otro mientras vamos adquiriendo nuevas habilidades que nos ayudarán. No hay ningún tipo de comunicación con el jugador, pero ni falta le hace. Todas las mecánicas están muy bien implementadas y absolutamente todo está muy bien aprovechado y hecho.
Tiene muchísimo mimo ♡

Thoroughly enjoyed my time with Omno! A very cute little exploration game with light puzzling. The low poly art style is gorgeous and the vistas are often striking, I found myself taking multiple screenshots at various points. Definitely recommend this game for those who are looking for a light and fun experience with a heart warming message.
Buenos puzzles, sencillotes, pero agradables de resolver. Además el plataformeo es agradecido y te lleva por sitios interesantes. Realmente bonito pese a su simplicidad y de los que dices: "Venga, me hago otra zona más, que son cortitas". Lo más negativo que le puedo destacar es que la última habilidad que consigues es de todo menos controlable, lo cual es una pena en un juego que suele pedir un poquito de precisión si lo quieres hacer bonito (aunque siempre puedes hacerlo feo, no pasa nada)
Omno was an interesting one that I'm shocked I hadn't heard of prior to seeing it on the PS Shop. It's pretty solid, and has some fun puzzles and exploration. The art style isn't my favorite, but I really don't mind it. I couldn't work myself into finishing the game, only making it about halfway through, but respect the work put into it immenselly. 6/10
Honestly I’ve never heard of anyone talk about this game but I was looking for games to play on PS extra before sub runs out and I found this to be the definition of a hidden gem. Nothing crazy but what this game sets out to do which is an atmospheric simple puzzle platformer adventure it succeeds in spades. Just the right length, super breezy, good variety in puzzles and platforming, good music. Honestly hard to ding this game other than being easy which is a plus in my books. Great palette cleanser. Took <4 hours to platinum very natural play through too.
