Critic Reviews for Oure
Oure is beautiful, but it's dull and cribs too much from its inspirations to be a worthwhile journey on its own
Take to the skies as a dragon in Oure, but don't expect to find much to do up there.
Oure is a masterclass in how not to follow up on the success of Abzu and Journey. A seemingly interesting set-up quickly disappears, repetitive and frustrating gameplay dampens the experience further, and the abysmal controls make every second spent playing a depressing chore.
As a simple collectathon built around the concept of flying around in a magnificent cloudy world, Oure does more than its job and ends up being a pleasant zen experience. However, whenever it tries to be something more – wheter it is by trying to push on the gameplay side or by evoking pure emotions – this very derivative game simply falls short, showing all the limits of a not so stellar production.

Like ABZU, Oure wants to be your next Journey, but Heavy Spectrum's work falls short of the mark.
Oure fails to follow the steps of games like Journey and Abz'. The story and the game become generic very early and there are too many problems with the camera. Also, apart from the the titan fights, it is very boring most of the 3-4 hours needed to complete it.

In the end, Oure won me over as an indie title with a lot of heart, and absolutely has me begging to know what other secrets I missed as I soared through the clouds.
I truly enjoyed the game and the challenge it offered. And for its price point, I believe that it is well worth it. If you ever want a game where it challenges your mind and offers such a beautiful landscape then you should check this game out.
