Omikron: The Nomad Soul

The memories I got 19 years ago when I played this are so vivid and so true like it was yesterday. There are indeed tons of annoying things like the FPS, saving system, the fights, but it is worth it. Story is compelling and intriguing, music is spot on, but what makes it the best is the ATMOSPHERE. it ia basicly the thing that can distinguish a game from another. Recommended 101%

Game concept was to huge for it's times, the game tried bite to many cakes at one time. RPG/Action/Shooter/ Puzzle solving, but non was perfectly designed. But direction was good, it should be continued. Who know, If it was, then now, we all would be waiting for Nomad Soul V instead of other famous "V" .But beyond other things, designers courage should be admired, especially in times of "never ending sequels".

This game tries to be too much. Fighting game: bad, FPS: bad, Adventure game: bad. Open world adventure games don't exist for a reason. Add in obtuse puzzles, illegible fonts, bad writing, gross characterization, bad character design. David Bowie is awesome but it doesn't make this a good game. Your dialogue choices effect nothing. The body swapping mechanic sounds cool until you look at the big picture and realize the game forces you to pick certain characters at certain times and half the possessable characters are pointless. Don't get this game unless you enjoy awful games

This game... I really mean.... THIS GAME... I let my mum buy it at the local game store and after I installed it I was immediately scared after the guy in the intro (Kay'l) said that there is no saving in the game. My mum had to bring the game back and I got another one instead. Later I found out, that you can actually save in the game and I tried again. It was on the SEGA DREAMCAST where I played the game for the second time. Then I also bought the PC version. Long story short: This game is incredible and every 2-3 years play through the game just to have my nostalgia and to have the fantastic fantasy and story put into this game. Quantic Games knows how to make a good story - and the soundtrack by David Bowie is one of the best Game Soundtracks you'll ever get. Give this game a chance... it will change your life. I rejected it in the beginning - but I got the chance to play it again... and again... and again...

The soundtrack alone is worth the sale price... I have this on disk but am so tempted to get this again in a simple install package.
