Oure reviews

{english review below} Anyone who loved Journey und/or ABZCOMO will also like Oure. Clearly, the Developers were inspired by the two Games already mentioned. Especially in terms of graphics and Soundtrack, all three Games are very similar. The Main Characters in Journey and Oure-apart from being two different Critters-look pretty identical: Red Dragon with white-gold tattoo vs. red Cape + Scarf with gold Embellishments. Above that, the length of the Tattoo and the length of the Scarf represent the Endurance of the Figure, i.e. it decreases when the Figure consumes Endurance. The Story, too, is not clearly explained in all three Games, but, the further you go, is told in a fratishly part; However, there is still room for speculation and Fantasies of one's own. Likewise, the Puzzles are not explained to you, but you have to figure out how to solve them (which, however, is not very difficult). What stands out in Oure are the many Items and places to collect and explore to uncover even more Background information (especially the Past). Although I was very overwhelmed by it at first, I was able to get everything relatively quickly. In addition, a Gallery with very beautiful Artwork Beckons to Oure as a Reward. The Game world may not be very large, but after each "tamed" titanium, the Time of day and/or the Weather change, which significantly influences the Colour Scheme and thus results in a changed feeling of play. Finally, there's one Thing that bothered me a little bit: The Controls weren't very nice in certain Situations, leading to a strange Camerawork and brief Disorientation. However, This Problem very rarely arose. All in all, I can recommend Oure to anyone who is looking for a Game where they just want to sit back and relax, enjoy the Atmosphere and immerse themselves in a beautiful fictional World. ;] ---------Anyone who loved Journey and/or ABZCOMO will most likely enjoy Oure. Obviously, the developers got inspired by both already mentioned games. Especially the graphics and the soundtrack are similar in all three games. The main character in Journey and Oure-apart from the fact that both of them are two different creatures-are quite identical: The red dragon with the whitegolden tattoo vs. red cape + scarf with golden ornaments. Between become shorter the more stamina is being used up. Also the main story in all three games is not clearly explained in detail but the farther you progress the more little pieces will be revealed; There is still enough scope for one's own speculations and fantasies. Likewise the puzzles won't be explained but you have to figure it out by yourself (which is not that difficult though). One thing which catches one's eye are the many objects and places that you can collect and explore for more background information (especially about the past). Although I was at first pretty overwhelmed by all those things I eventually ended up earning everything quickly. In addition, the game rewards you with a gallery filled with beautiful artwork. The whole world may not be that huge but the weather and/or daytime changes everytime after you "tamed" a titan which turns the whole world into a different colour and thus kind of gives off a different kind of vibe. Finally, there is one thing that bothered me a little bit while playing: The controls in certain situations were not that good which led to a strange camera movement and short-time disorientation. This problem occured pretty rarely though. All in all, I can recommend Oure to everyone who is looking for a game to sit back and relax, who wants to enjoy the atmophere and immerse oneself into a wonderful fictious world. :]
