Omensight Reviews
Omensight's story is extremely entertaining and it has some fun combat to back it up. Just be ready to repeat the same segments a couple of times.
Omensight is a great title that suffers a bit from repetition in gameplay but makes up for it with some great combat, fun progression mechanics, excellent voice work and well-delivered story. If you're looking for a fun ARPG experience I would recommend checking out Omensight. With the game just recently finding its way to the Nintendo Switch as well as previously being available on Steam and PlayStation 4, Omensight is a fun, fast paced, story driven ARPG that has a lot to offer.
If a murder mystery action game sounds like a game you might like, I highly recommend playing Omensight. From beginning to end it just doesn't stop on delivering a solid experience. Although the story seems to be straightforward and simple at first it opens into an interesting tale with complicated characters helming the ship the whole way through.
Omensight takes a lot of familiar fantasy concepts and mashes them together into a dark and interesting apocalyptic mystery.
An original murder mystery with surprising plot twists packed in a hack-and-slash action-adventure game à la traditional God of War. However the repetitive segments and a glaring omission of local co-op could have been addressed to make for an even better game.
Omensight looks and feels good… but that soon gives way to repetition, as well as the realisation that nothing in this animal kingdom has what it takes to stand in the way of the main heroine. As for the story, and whole murder mystery aspect, well, it they are not that impressive, in all honesty…
Omensight ironically repeated the same mistakes of its predecessor and presents a very repetitive gameplay and serious problems in its performance. Despite this, the game still manages to be quite enjoyable thanks to its plot, characters and battle system. If you liked Stories: The Path of Destinies or if you are a fan of good stories, you will surely enjoy the new title of Spearhead Games.

Omensight is perfectly competent in every major category, but isn't strong enough in any one instance to truly stand out. The unique story-telling from Spearhead Games is definitely engaging, but I can't say the same for the rest of the game.
Unusual action RPG with a great narrative from skilful indie developers. There should be more locations and better camera, but it is still unique game.

Last but not least, I have mixed feelings about the ending. I strongly believe that such a complex game that offers players meaningful choices that could directly influence major elements in the story should have multiple endings.
As you play the game you will gain experience and level up. Once you do, you should go before the Chalice to meditate to unlock new skills – your first one will be the Phantom Blast which, as I mentioned before, you can unleash by holding down on the Square button to then release an energy projectile. You can also find amber during your journey, which can be offered as tribute at the magical anvil to receive a blessing, which includes things such as increasing your overall health, increasing the damage dealt by your blade, or unlocking a perfect dodge which will slow down time if you dodge an attack at the last possible second, to name a few examples.
Even with its few limitations, Omensight was love at first sight for me.
Spearhead Games' new murder-mystery adventure offers tight gameplay and an intriguing murder mystery, but falls flat due to its repetitive nature.
It turns out that the least interesting aspect of Omensight is the by-the-number's action game mechanics. In a title that centres on a super being that looks like Anubis with a lightsabre, it is inevitable that there would have to be some sword-play in it. The qualities that will draw people into this plot are the mystery solving, how the Groundhog Day cycle works, and how users can change fates. RPG fans may not appreciate the brevity of the Harbinger's journey, and action game fans will likely fall asleep from the low difficulty of everything. This one seems ideal for fans of adventures, since at a certain point, most combat can be skipped entirely in lieu of plot progression with no consequence. Omensight is a unique release, nonetheless, and comes recommended for those seeking something different.
Despite a good story, eye catching art design and solid combat, Omensight has suffered from very poor controls, and there are minor issues which can affect the gameplay. All in all, Omensight is a good game, and it might worth a shot.

My hat is off to Spearhead Games. They managed to improve upon the formula that they established with Stories: The Path of Destinies to craft a far superior experience with Omensight.
Omensight is a hack'n' slash with RPG touches and a very interesting plot, and an ingenious execution, which in spite of this suffers from a technical section without optimization. Discover with the mystical warrior Harbinger who is behind the apocalypse, and repeat the last day of this earth to find the culprit. Live that last day with one of the four secondary characters as many times as necessary to discover the necessary clues.

Though the combat and in-game puzzles are none too deep, they are richly populated and fantastically presented in Omensight, and wrapped up in the gorgeous darkly cartoony aesthetic creates a must-have cult hit for any budding PlayStation fan. While it may be completable in a single playthrough, the time spent as the Harbinger will be an excellent one that will ultimately leave you satisfied and at about $20 USD, it is an absolute must-buy.
An overall improvement and evolution of its predecessor Stories: The Path of Destinies. Omensight provides an exciting groundhog day style narrative which doesn't get tedious despite its repetition. Some challenging and swift combat sees you through, and an interesting and nicely designed world easily engages, despite some cringey dialogue.
