Omikron is one of the worst...things, I have ever experienced. No amount of preparation can help you with the amount of abuse you'll experience playing this wretched pile. The story is a quarter baked collection of poor ideas, ridiculous moments, laughably bad plot twists, and David Cage ripping off movies like Blade Runner and They Live in order to sell a tale of demons living among society and enslaving humanity while a chosen one aka you (The now stupidly named Nomad Soul) must now play the game and defeat the demons and their overlord Astaroth. Now to be honest this seemed like a neat idea at first, too bad its been done before in other adventure games and a hell of a lot better with characters you'll actually care about. The actual game-play can be summed up like this, what do you get when you mix a bad open-world adventure game, with a bad 3d fighting game, and a bad first person shooter, the answer is this pile of crap. The fighting plays like Tekken, if Tekken were programmed by people undergoing lobotomy and tested by a 12 year old drunk on grandpas whiskey, the only way to win is to constantly spam the same kick combo over and over again without stopping and even then you only have 1/4th of a chance of winning. The FPS sections are a stiff frustrating mess that are near impossible to aim properly while your enemies all have pinpoint accuracy, imagine Doom but with absolutely no sense of weight, inability to move fast and the least sensitive aiming controls you've ever felt. The open world is arguably the worst part, the environments are all bland futuristic cities that we've all seen in every science fiction movie ever made, there's a body snatching/switching mechanic in the game but its broken beyond belief because sometimes you'll be forced to switch into a much weaker body to progress in the story only to meet a demon you have to fight, but now you have much less health and you do poor damage. Oh and more than likely you wont be able to switch back because the other body will be in an area blocked off due to story. All and all I've played worse games, but not many. Omikron sticks to your soul in the worst way possible, constantly reminding you that the creator of this game still makes games. Oh and David Bowie is in the game for like..I dunno a minute? Two? who cares.
