This review contains spoilers

Finished the hikkikomori route this time, being my third time running through the game, and my first time trying this route and trying to do most of the extra console content.

With how much they packed into the Omori route, lore wise, gameplay wise, I’m pretty satisfied! The unbread twins, the bossman hero battle, boss rush, the abyss, all the extra boss battles, it’s all outstanding. I never did orange oasis prior to this route as well, and it was a lot of fun! Dino’s dig allows for an easy method of getting everyone to get to lvl 50, and the amount of equipment and extra side content here makes Omori feel like a well rounded package for those who want both story and excellent gameplay ideas.

The Omori route never feels like it’s only tacked on; it fully realizes its potential and I feel like it adds a lot to the base story of Omori. I will say that I think it should be played after a Sunny route, as some of the lore bits will only be evident once you know what is truly going on. But nevertheless, the added console content and Omori route feel like a substantial expansion pack to the Sunny route. The Omori route definitely is just a bonus for those who enjoyed Sunny’s, which makes it feel even more like the cherry on top of an already fantastic game.

Also sweethearts castle can go tumble down some stairs because jeez why is it like the second area of the game and it’s TOO LONG
