Omno is a gorgeous and serene journey that succeeded in the rarest of achievements: it managed to make me feel relaxed. Completing each area in the game left me with a sense of accomplishment and the wholesome interactions with the world and its inhabitants will linger for some time to come. Wholly recommended!
OMNO takes a step away from combat and challenge and strives to present a beautiful and calming adventure. It is a welcome break from the typical experiences.

Take it from someone who doesn't usually enjoy unchallenging laidback adventures; OMNO is undoubtedly a wonderful experience. From its stylish visuals to its consistently rewarding collectibles and sense of progression, it really is the cat's pajamas.
Omno is simply a beautiful adventure game full of colour, life and satisfaction. Even though it's a relatively short title, you won't be stuck with just one playthrough most of the time. Jonas Manke has done a great job over the five years of development, and all the effort, care and love put into this project is terribly evident.

Omno is a bit of a challenge to review in some regards, as on a general level it's mechanically sound and actually provides for a nice and generally low-stakes adventure...
OMNO captures the player's attention with its charming art style and welcomes everyone with a gameplay that's simple and accessible. While not a monumental game for those who need something hard and intense, OMNO is certain to accommodate anyone who enjoys to take their time and use their creativity to explore the world around them.

While Omno borrows heavily from Journey, it still holds up on its own. The relaxing atmosphere and well-designed obstacles will keep you entertained for all 4 hours of this short and sweet experience. If you’re a fan of Journey, get this game but don’t expect the same level of polish. If you’re new to the genre, then you won’t regret trying Omno either. While Omno did not make my list of new favorite games (like Lacuna), it came really close.
OMNO is a little adventure in a 3D platforming environment that works more as an experience than anything else. And the truth is that it does not do anything wrong. With strong inspiration from Journey, we will advance through the game world on our pilgrimage of light. 4 hours of a beautiful and interesting experience await us.

Whether from a narrative point of view, or from the level design, the mechanics and puzzle concepts perspective, Omno is not only modest and brief, but also shallow and uncreative. On the other hand, it has a charismatic look and fantastic fauna in a relaxing atmosphere. The title is recommended for those who want a pleasant, easy, accessible and fast experience, but it is far from what other similar games have to offer both as an art game and as an adventure in 3D platform puzzles.

Omno will provide most players with three or four pleasant hours. Despite a few frustrating moments, I really enjoyed most of my time with it. For a short game though, which doesn’t do much new and which doesn’t quite reach the level of similar titles like Journey or Arise, that can make for an uneasy recommendation. That’s the joy of Game Pass, though. When considering what to spend your money on, a few pleasant hours may or may not be enough. For those who can play it for no extra cost however, that makes this an easy game to check out. Players on other platforms may need to think about whether this is the right title for them, but Game Pass subscribers should give Omno a chance. I think you’ll be happy you did so.
Omno is a beautiful puzzle game I enjoyed playing with my daughter that’s fun to explore and not too challenging. There are some mind bending challenges towards the end, but often looking at them from different views will help reveal the solution. It’s really impressive that this game was made by just one person and I look forward to his future projects.
I watched the trailer for Omno with that thrill rising inside me that only a well-put-together taster can inspire. I knew that I had to see what this title was all about. Were those tempting images gameplay, or simply a montage of cutscenes put there to whet my appetite? Read my Rapid Review below to find out answers to this question, and more.
Playing Omno was a great way to unwind; I found myself lost in this enchanting creation between the uncrowded world, the charming fauna and flora, and the melodious music.
I really enjoyed my time with Omno. I didn’t realize at first that it was a purely combat-free adventure when I started it, but the mild disappointment I felt from that revelation quickly disappeared as I got lost within its world’s secrets. It’s a mellow time, full of discovery and wonder.
Its simplistic aesthetic, exploratory storytelling, breathtaking vistas, wonderfully uplifting soundtrack, and a pure sense of wonder make this game truly special.
Omno is a gaming experience to take in and appreciate. Beautiful music and graphics make this the meditative gaming experience some gamers will adore. Particularly if you need that important escapism from stress or an excuse not to do the washing up for a few more hours. It’s a game that lets you go at your own pace and will likely ignite the feels with its cute animal interactions. An incredible achievement from a solo developer and musician combo that is well worth taking the time to explore.
Omno is an enticing atmospheric adventure, with satisfying puzzles and platforming sessions and fabulous environments filled with gentle creatures that will make your day more enjoyable. It is not an original or perfect experience, but it offers some authentic moments of escapism. Its shortcomings include the inconsistent way it tries to tell its story and the absence of further activities for exploration.

Omno is an atmospheric, adventure puzzle game that certainly gives similar games in its genre a run for their money. It’s Charming, vibrant and with stunning design. The story lacks slightly, and would benefit from more direction, however gameplay is diverse with many ways to play. If you love games like Journey, it will be hard not to fall in love with Omno.
