Having played through OMORI, I’m confident say that it’s an experience I won’t forget. This is a game I wholeheartedly recommend for those that appreciate a good story. With a strong emphasis on catharsis, it has a lot up its sleeves. The cutesy and colorful presentation hides a grim reality and it hits hard. Highly recommended, OMORI is a gem of a game that definitely deserves recognition.
Nostalgic, lovingly crafted, moving, and surprising, Omori is a remarkable achievement. Earthbound and Undertale are easy comparisons, but Omori stands out as it's own, highly personal piece of storytelling.

My favorite game of all time, I've never had something fill me with so much emotion. I cried for THREE HOURS after finishing this game. It's something that really sticks with you after finishing it. The deisgn, story, character writing, it's all so so good. Be prepared for some emotional damage but if you're ready for that, I couldn't recommend it more

Don’t let its presentation fool you, Omori is an adventure into some dark themes of loss, growing up, and fear of change. These are easily relatable elements uniquely projected to players through its expert story presentation and character writing. You feel yourself immersed in this world and with these people to the point where you want so bad to see their adventure through until the end. Luckily for us, this is one experience that you can’t easily grow out of.
Omori is certainly not for everyone. Someone who values gameplay much higher than storytelling will come away feeling bored and frustrated with the overall experience. However, those who value a game's plot and the emotions that games can elicit will never be able to shake Omori from their headspace. It is a flawed game in many aspects, but I can't help thinking about it throughout my daily life (especially while opening up the spice cabinet), even having finished the game over a month ago. While the entire middle of the game can be frustrating due to its poor design, the third act is well worth everything that comes before it. In the end, everything else faded away, and it all felt worth it.
Omori's ending is brutal, but its characters and humour put some heart behind the horror.
Owing to its unconventional release date, Omori hasn’t really been on the mainstream radar, but I came away impressed. It takes a story that might have come off as trite or even insensitive in the wrong hands and imbues it with a memorable darkness, aided by a tight combat system and some outstanding artwork. If you’re in a bad place - and lord knows many of us are - Omori might not be the game for you right now, as it goes in some intense places. But neither should you let this dark tale of a childhood lost slip away. Bleak as it might be, it may be one of the year’s most memorable RPGs.
This game is like if you put Earthbound, Yume Nikki, and Silent Hill 2 in a blender. And it's friggin' awesome.

the story and characters are great! sadly the actual gameplay is some of the worst I have ever seen making playing the game extremely boring, and I don't think the pain of going through the horrid gameplay is worth the story. looking up the story or watching someone else play is significantly more enjoyable

Omori is a boring slob ****. It has a few moments of highlight, but they don't justify a 15 hour of a dragging uninspired combat and highly derivative gameworld design. They say that there's some deep emotional plot in the game, but there really isn't. The characters insist that their struggles are important, and their pain is real, but the game never gave me a reason to believe them. Omori isn't a bad game, but it isn't a good one either. By a long stretch.
