Very silly, very fun party-type game. Don't go into this looking for an ultra-competitive gaming experience, you should know just by looking at the screenshots that's not what this is supposed to be.

Just play this like you'd play Jackbox at a friend's house and have a good time laughing while trying to improv an influencer going into a spooky factory. Yes the camera recording length is a little short (about a minute and a half) but honestly it's enough and it should force you to make what you record worthwhile. It's such an adorable game and it really is fun.

its the perfect rogue-like deckbuilder. i freaking love it. finally found a game as addictive as say slay the spire. i cant stop playing. i CANT stop playing. HELP.

Realistic? No. Atmospheric? Yes. Addictive? Yep.

A really fun co-op cooking game :)

It's a cute lil jaunt, get it on sale. Very short but also very cute and wholesome. More of a little movie than a game but that's okay!

+ Ultra atmospheric
+ Fun roguelike
+ Good sp00ky music
+ Frogchamp emote

Other reviewers noted this game has a good amount of RNG, and I would agree. It's a little more dice-rolley than other rogue-likes for sure, but that's not necessarily a down-side. It's fun taking risks and winning despite the odds in this game! Would totally recommend. If you want a 100% skill based rogue-like, I suppose this isn't for you, but for the casuals out there just looking for a chill spooky rogue-like this game is great fun :)

To the people that don't recommend this game - I don't think you should downvote a game just because it's not your cup of tea - if its well made in all areas but you just don't like the style of gameplay, that's your deal. Just because you're a hardcore gamer doesn't mean you need to downvote casual games imo. I'm not a fan of RPGs but I'm not going to go downvote Omori. Also - if you do want it to be more strategic /difficult, after you beat the game the difficulty increases and your choices matter a LOT more. It gets more fun the more you play! :)

It's 3 bucks you spent more on breakfast this morning. It's fun.

This game is like factory-builder crack. It's sooo powerful you can create insane things!

Edit: Playing this in April 2023, they've finally added forge and customs are pretty great! I no longer disconnect from matches like I used to... EXCEPT for custom games. While the breadth of tools they've given creators to create within Infinite is actually quite awesome, the servers cannot keep up. Custom games constantly crash and are buggy as hell. All this and the game has been out for a really long time. I just don't understand why companies don't make games like they used to, like Bungie used to. Just, release a game with all the features you intend for it to have in a working state. All that out of the way, I still stand by the gameplay it is actually quite crisp and enjoyable. And the customs are quite awesome in terms of potential. But like the player count is lower these days because so many people left it due to its issues.

Single player - most people really like it. Good story, fun characters, apparently deep lore that the nerds are into, there's a lot to like. It's open world, which has it's pros and cons. There aren't as many "set pieces" as in other Halos (i.e. no driving around scarabs or aircraft levels or gunner parts, take it or leave it really). There's upgrades you can do to your armor, if you think that's cool. Not completely my cup of tea but I can recognize the quality, it's pretty good! 60 bucks is pretty expensive though, I would wait for a sale.

Multi player - a real mixed bag. I'm putting this up as recommended only because the game is free, otherwise it would be the opposite.

Pros: Gameplay wise, really really crisp action. The guns are all mostly interesting, love the new guns (some weapons are ACTUALLY useless, i.e. the plasma pistol and ravager). The gunplay is mostly what keeps me coming back, at least for now, as it's really satisfying in my opinion. Armor abilities add another dimension to MP, it's neat. I like pretty much everything about the gunplay as it is, but I'm merely a casual who enjoys playing for fun so what does my opinion matter.

Meh: Time to kill is a lot shorter than other halos, which is take it or leave it. Vehicles are fun, except for the banshee which dies in 2 hits and deals no damage, and the hornet which is damn OP (if you get in a hornet, expect to get at least 5 kills every time, and more if the map just so happens to randomly not spawn a sniper rifle or other good power weapons, you can very easily get farmed for days if the enemy has both hornets on the map). Warthog is great in this installment, but kinda floaty, same with mongoose. I actually don't mind the tanks being stronger than in other halos. I never thought having them die to just a grenade was very fun, they're a TANK for crying out loud. But your opinion may vary. The graphics are, in my opinion, not next gen level stuff. There's a lot of polish in some areas and I actually really like the art direction. But these graphics are more like 2016 level stuff or earlier, it's not exactly breaking new ground.

God awful: What the hell did 343 try to do with the shop? It's actually terrible. I don't need to tell you about it, go read the other 500 comments talking about it, you probably know. Don't give them money, besides the battle pass thing, that's decent value, at the very least. That said, it's just cosmetics, so I don't care too too much about it - the other problems are bigger. There needs to be way more maps. Why are the BTB maps so small? Why was BTB broken for MONTHS after launch? MONTHS! For a AAA game are you for real? I still disconnect from matches all the time, my ping seems to be alright when I'm in game but getting into a match sometimes, hoo boy. Getting disconnected from games due to the server borking can get you banned meaning you can't even play. Speaking of, the game will crash randomly, expect at least one crash almost every play session. I have a beastly PC too, this is really unacceptable, and definitely ruins a lot of my games and is wicked frustrating. ALSO NO FORGE OR FIREFIGHT straight MISSING mode from other halos. I know they often add this stuff in after a while, but with how this game is faring, expect to wait another year or more before they add new modes like that. Customs seem like they'll be fun, if forge ever gets out. Oh yeah and no infection, boo.

As everyone else says, it was fun in 2015. Haven't touched it since then.
