Osmos Overview
What is Osmos? Osmos is an award-winning game that combines physics, survival, and classic eat-em-up gameplay.

Osmos also has a sublime electronic soundtrack, dynamic time-warping, and support for five languages.

Version 1.8 graphics are off with AMD Radeon HD 6970M
This is a great game and so unique in what it is about. I will say that some of the levels halfway in are kind of boring and too hard, so i've never gotten to a lot of probably interesting territory. The main point of this review is that the latest update diminished the graphics on my newish Windows - it is no longer entirely compatible. The game runs but a lot of the subtle details of the graphics are gone. The AMD Radeon HD 6970M video card has been checked as good, and I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Too bad. It works fine on my laptop, and on my wife's iPad of course, but not on my big gorgeous 27 inch monitor.
Massively relaxing
This is a really simple game. You float around, eating smaller organisms and growing as you do so, all-the-while avoiding other organisms which are trying to eat you. As the levels progress, they become more complex and more challenging, but the game always feels extremely good to control and beautiful to look at. Highly recommended.
Even better than IOS version
Loved the game for my iPhone, but stray touches sometimes got me in the weeds. I wondered what it would be like playing this with a touchpad, but it’s even more accurate this way. Graphics are splendid on my 13” retina display, love the soundtrack. I don’t think I’ll play it much on my phone anymore.
Not relaxing at all, but still a fun game.
I'm not sure why this game is marketed as being 'relaxing'. The music is very repetative, and usually only has around 10 seconds of actual content, followed by constant looping. Its also really easy to go from being close to winning a stage, to losing everything very quickly. This isn't to say its not a good game. In itself, its very addicting. Its just not nearly as 'relaxing' as its made out to be.
Updated version is a slug
I played this years ago when it was new and 32-bit, and it ran smooth as silk even on low-end Macs. I read about how it needed work to get it updated to 64-bit PC, and I saw that it was now compatible so I'm trying it again. But something must have gone awry with the update. While it's stil the same game, it runs very sluggish on my high-end '18 PC. I quit all other apps, and yet it sometimes drops to what looks like under 10 frames a second. Animations get so coarse that it's almost impossible to control to at times. I think the dev needs to go back and optimize this game because it's really not very playable in its current state.
