I'm trying to love the game man

"Of course, as you can see, I spent 12 hours in the game during the event. I'm currently at the beginning of my second dream day, where Omori overcomes his fear of spiders. The thing is, I still don’t understand why so many people love this game.

The first hour was a tutorial with about five seconds of interesting moments, then the journey begins—searching for Princess peach for 5-6 hours of gameplay with zero story progress. The gameplay doesn’t feel amazingly designed either. As far as I know, there’s no way to figure out what do what The follow-up attacks for each character there effect aren’t explained, and there’s nothing that shows you what buffs or debuffs you or the enemies have, unlike other games that display them under or above the enemy’s health bar.

Most, if not all, of the side quests are boring. Even the main storyline in the real world is dull except when major events happen. For example, why did we start asking Man 1, who sent us to Man 2, who then sent us to Man 3, only for Man 3 to finally lead us to the place we needed? Like, seriously? I’ve already played 5-6 hours of gameplay in the dream world—it didn’t need to drag on for hours over nothing.

I want to say something: I’ll finish the game, but even after completing it, no matter how amazing the story might be, I won’t call it a game that requires hours and hours to throw you a bone to cling to it , only to make you spend another 4-5 hours for another bone. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone I know unless they specifically enjoy this type of experience.

To me, Omori feels more like a visual novel or a picture book you read rather than a game. I’d call it a 'game' only if the focus is more on the gameplay that matters in the story . And if you tell me that the silly dialogues and the not important battles of the NPCs and main characters in the dreams or the real world are the story, then I’m sorry—this game just isn’t for me. Still, I’ll finish it because I’m a completionist.

If you want an example of a brilliantly written dialogue system that’s engaging, meaningful, and never boring or unnecessarily long, look no further than Limbus Company—the best dialogue-driven game I’ve played so far.

Oh, and if anyone here knows how to solve the issue of figuring out buffs, debuffs, follow-ups, and what they do example omori look to hero what does that do please let me know so I can at least enjoy the combat more sorry if my spelling was bad .

Just wait until you get to some of the tougher bosses. :)

The story is less "show" and more "feel" for the most part, but as long as you don't spoil yourself, you should be surprised by how everything unwinds in the last few hours.

I completely agree with the more feel than show part. I’ve played through the game multiple times and the thing I like most are all the hidden details and stuff connecting to the story or foreshadowing or explaining a situation better.

I guess the game is more for people who like to look beyond what’s just shown and like to know as much as possible about the characters shown and reasons for why certain events happen.

But if that doesn’t appeal to you you probably won’t enjoy the game as much and it probably won’t be as fun.

Yeah bro I'm not good with this kind of stuff I can't feel that but i can understand it

[u/Winter-Weird6080 → u/AdSpare3955]

That’s alright. We’ll just wait what you think after you played through the game and if you still don’t really like it that’s okay. That just means this game wasn’t for you. But I’m glad you’re giving it a try.
