Omensight Reviews
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 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'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 clearly has a lot of heart.
Even with its few limitations, Omensight was love at first sight for me.
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.
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 3D action adventure game that has all the hallmarks of a PlayStation 2 3D action adventure made in the heyday of the genre but with the benefit of 20 years in technological and design advancements to spruce it up. Some occasional frame drops, a little bit of repetition and some occasional dodgy camera angles aside, Omensight is an edge-of-the-seat adventure that is hard to put down from the start until the credits roll.
With Omensight, Spearhead Games has done a great job, clearly thanks to its learning and experiences from Stories: The Path of Destinies.
Glossing over the irony of including "sight" in the name when the camera is sub-standard, Omensight offers both an absorbing murder mystery and enjoyable gameplay. Definitely worth checking out.
Omensight has a lot going for it. The central murder mystery is genuinely captivating and the combat has a fluidity that just feels damn good. An eye-catching world is populated by equally colorful and memorable characters. To its credit, Omensight manages to somewhat avoid the repetition associated with looping narratives but not completely, and it's that fault that brings the entire experience just ever so lower.
Omensight is a fun and fast paced adventure that relives the same day from different character's perspectives
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.
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.

Omensight is a game that moves beyond expectations and manages to offer a very good experience. although some improvements in flawed parts of the game would render it as one of the best releases of the year.

Omensight is a fun fantasy romp starring fuzzy animal things. It's endearing in a way that, considering its flaws, it has no right to be. With a little more polish, this could have been a great game. As things stand now, it's still a pretty damn good one. The story kept me invested, and I found myself smiling more often than not. If you can see past the rough spots, you're in for a treat.
Omensight takes a lot of familiar fantasy concepts and mashes them together into a dark and interesting apocalyptic mystery.
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.

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.
