Omori is a genuine contender for the best game I've played in my life. This is the only time, ever since I played Mother 3 back in 2013, that I have even considered that possibility outside of that legendary trilogy. Everything about it works.

The combat is solid and inventive. The world is so wonderfully detailed and the dialog is hilarious, charming, heartfelt, and emotional. The story can make me tear up at the drop of a hat. The characters are so lovable and realistic. It's just so good I can't even put it into words. Would give more than five stars if I could.
