Omensight Reviews
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.

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 you're partial to a bit of hack ‘n' slashing and fancy something a little different to the norm, you'll find Omensight to be an enjoyable addition to the Switch's catalogue of ports.
Omensight takes a lot of familiar fantasy concepts and mashes them together into a dark and interesting apocalyptic mystery.

An intriguing tale that hooks you at every end, Omensight is an experience that makes backtracking through the past an exciting adventure like no other.
Overall, Omensight is well worth the price of admission. It’s short and the lack of a chapter select is a bummer, but I highly enjoyed what time I spent with it.
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.
Omensight is the ideal title for someone looking to solve a murder mystery wrapped in an enjoyable action-packed adventure. Although you are frequently outnumbered, you always feel in control thanks to the satisfying combat mechanics. There is one particular section in the game is beyond frustrating, but outside of that, the game's difficulty is well grounded.
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…
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.
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.

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.
Omensight is a fun and fast paced adventure that relives the same day from different character's perspectives
Omensight is a solid an enjoyable ARPG
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 the spiritual successor to the well-received Stories: The Path of Destinies, Omensight delivers on our expectations. The game might feel a tad out of place with Triple-A titles competing against it but for those that want to enjoy a game with a gripping story filled with intrigue and extremely fun gameplay, Omensight is a great choice.
There’s a little jank here and there, but if you like action-RPGs and want something a little different–and not nearly as grimdark as those have been–I’m sending you a vision.
Omensight is a solid title that is a progression from the developers first game Stories: The Path of Destinies. While it can get repetitive going through the same areas multiples times, the combat and story are where Omensight shine.
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.
