You can make use of a dash ability but you have little control over this when zipping around. Jumping from standing tends to lack the momentum needed. You need to make sure you get a good run-up to make many of the more difficult jumps. The jumping in this game feels very stilted. Plant a flower to create a checkpoint Controls and InvisibilityĬontrols are simple to pick up but the platforming felt very awkward. When you do die the game does have some unfortunately long load times which do slow the experience down making some of the more challenging areas of the game just that little more frustrating. But you can’t rely on this ability forever, stay invisible too long and you disappear forever and you will be sent back to the last save point, not a checkpoint, so be very careful. Pietro can’t attack and your only form of defence is turning invisible. All of these enemies can take you down in a single hit. You can plant these little gypsophila flowers in the ground that act as checkpoint areas if you get killed by one of the nasties in the world like giant insects, a rampaging minotaur and horrible spiders that spit at you. The more manageable quests involve collecting various items for NPCs, feeding some snails and there was a pretty cool chess puzzle at one moment which felt very underutilized. A good portion of these quests require you to do some 3D platforming which didn’t gel particularly well with me but I’ll cover this further in the controls. Once a quest is activated the game’s mini-map highlights where you need to head next. The game doesn’t offer much direction as to where to find the quests but with a small open-world, some light exploration is all that’s required of the player to progress. You can carry out these missions in any order you choose. To obtain each key piece you need to explore a small open world, there you need to accomplish a variety of challenges given to you from the unusual inhabitants of the world. The goal of the game is to collect seven pieces of a key in order to open up the well of truth. Sometimes we all get that feeling Explore the World ![]() Plots are not everything and I’m pleased to report if you do fall into the confused category as I did, Onirike still offers enjoyment through its gameplay. Even when I reached the conclusion of the game I didn’t feel like I particularly understood the journey Prieto has gone on. Maybe I was playing some interpretation of a nightmare since the world is filled with unbeatable monsters. I guess depending on your mindset you might take some deep philosophical meaning from this experience.īut for me, I mostly just played through this game having utterly no idea what was going on. It’s quite abstract and there are themes of dreams and weirdness. But even with this good design, I’ll be honest I didn’t have a clue what was going on with the plot. It partly feels like you’re playing a living fairy tale. As you play the game a full voice actor narrates what Pietro is up to and describes what is going on in the world around you as you explore. You play as Prieto, a strange being who is not sure of his own nature. Is Onirike the right kind of weird you need in your gaming life? Well, let’s dig in and find out. This has a fairly dark art style with a gameplay experience that I have to say is pretty unique. The description I instantly settled on was weird. Onirike is an unusual 3D puzzle platformer.
