Ori and the Blind Forest Reviews

I enjoyed it. Metroidvania, 2D, exploration, interesting level design (somewhat) and the story was paced well. Part of the level design was a bit bland, but in the same way Metroid Dread is with those black insides to the walls. It is fine, maybe I am nitpicking too much. Get the game. Good time.

It's great, but I recommend playing the "Definitive Edition" right away for the new features and the option to play on Easy (ideal for beginners).

Great story, great soundtrack, graphics that fit the story, mechanically very difficult at times, but worth it. 9 out of 10.

One of my all time favourite platformers. Music, level design and feel are all on point. Perfect for a couple hours of relaxing platforming

Ori and the Blind Forest is beautiful and heartbreaking. This game hurt me in the best possible way. From the opening scene, I knew I was in for an emotional rollercoaster — and it did not disappoint. The story is simple but hits so hard, and it’s told through stunning visuals and music that gave me chills more than once. The art? Chef’s kiss. Every frame looks like a painting. And the platforming is buttery smooth, with just the right amount of challenge. You feel yourself getting better as you go, which makes it so satisfying. It’s emotional, gorgeous, and unforgettable. I cried. I cheered. I got destroyed by spikes. 10/10.

Beautiful artwork, great story, challenging. 10/10.

Ori and the Blind Forest is good, the art is beautiful and so is the score. The game is more about platforming more than anything else, so the combat can feel a bit lacking, but its still decent for not being the focus. However, the decision to make 100% missable in a metroidvania is a baffling one, one hit deaths too, especially since there is a deathless achievement, couple that with some platforming segments teetering on troll levels of trial and error, it does bring it down ever so slightly from a completionist standpoint.

A beautiful 2D sidescrolling Metroidvania with excellent gameplay consisting of platforming and action elements. A simple but rewarding skill tree and upgrades to be found in each section of the world. A must buy for fans of the genre.

Walk back simulator with a progress reset in complement. Love that shit. Worst save system I've experienced in a metroidvania.

Still super fun but the now that the definitive edition exists, there's no reason to go back to this original version
