An improved spiritual successor
If you have played "Stories: the path of destinies", this game is an improved "spiritual successor" of it. Like Stories, Omensight is a heavily narrative driven game with hack n'slash/RPG style combat and elements of dialogue, with choices aimed to unfold the course of the events that brought the world around you to the current situation and will bring you to the final battle later on. However, while being very similar there are still some differences between Stories and Omensight: On a gameplay level Omensight is an improved game as the combat is more polished and has more variety, with also the addition of allied characters. On a narrative level, Omensight has a more complex writing, as every character has their own course of events to unfold that will always ends up crossing another ones path creating a "big picture" for you to find out piece by piece. The only true flaw of this game is that it has no replayability: once you finish the game, it just ends, you can't go back and there is no "New game +" or anything like that. So should you get this game ? if you like narrative driven games - yes, go for it, especially if you liked Stories. Otherwise you would be better off playing an actual hack and slash button masher. Personally, the moment i installed it i couldn't stop playing it as it kept me hooked wanting to know and see more of the story everytime @.@ Also, despite the effort and work the developers have put into this game, the lack of replaiability make me say that you would be better getting this game on discount, the base price is a bit too much for a game that just ends the moment you beat it.
Is this helpful to you?
