Beautiful soundtrack
Progressive upgrades
Great Metroidvania
Never got boring
Difficulty too high at certain points
Ori and the Blind Forest really surprised me. I’ve been seeing it in the Xbox Store for awhile now and thought it’d be a boring indie game that I’d give up on after an hour or so. Only reason I even played it was because it was added to Game Pass. By the end of the introduction I loved it. It was emotional and left me in shock and awe, and I did tear up a little….AT THE INTRO!!! I’ve been playing it for a couple weeks now, and I just beat the game. The ending not only had be tear up, but literally shed tears!! Obviously not going to spoil what happens, but I was not expecting what happens.
I’m sitting here trying to describe the game and what I love about it, but there’s just so much there to write about. There’s literally an hour between the last paragraph and this one, because I’m struggling to put into words my thoughts on this game. The gameplay is amazing, the music is powerful (and the soundtrack is on Spotify), and the exploration is one of the best Metroidvania-style games since Super Metroid. You progressively get upgrades so the game is constantly getting more and more interesting. Every upgrade I got made me excited, as it meant more areas I could access and things I could do.
I’m really excited about Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and am upset that there’s no definitive release date yet. It just says 2019.
The only complaint I have with this game is the extreme difficulty during some parts. While most of the game is just the right amount of challenging, there are certain parts of the game which caused me to rage quit for a couple days. It’s mostly when completing the main areas, you have to escape the area while being chased by a flood, or lava, or the main villain, or something. However, I would only want those parts’ difficulty level lowered slightly. If it was slightly lowered it’d actually feel like an accomplishment when completing those sections. There come a point when you fail an area so much it stops being fun, and completing it is less “I did it!” and more “ABOUT FREAKING TIME!!!”.
And for that reason, and that reason only, I’m giving this game a 9 out of 10 instead of a perfect score.
Music, graphics, gameplay and story (the story is not entirely clear).
I didn't like the interactions between the commands and the movements.
I really liked this game but I’ve never finished it because after a while I found it difficult. But in my opinion this game should be tried because of the fantastic graphic, story and music even if the story is not clear at all in the game time.
The game mechanics are nice and this game is a nice pastime. During the game you will unlock really fun special skills that make the game funnier.

Beautiful graphics, music and story, great variety of areas to explore which aren’t limited (i.e. you aren’t outright stopped from entering any areas), good controls, the only thing stopping this from being a 10/10 is how the controls are occasionally fiddly (though I’m probably quite clumsy). Often frustratingly difficult but makes that up for how satisfying the rest of the game is. If I could give this a 9.5 I would.
This game is incredible: the music is spectacular, with great emotion and tones very well the fantastic and calm of the game, the levels are varied, vertical and horizontal, good combination of killing enemies, exploration and puzzle, art is beautiful, great atmosphere , The story is emotional, simple but great. The gameplay is simple but fun with medium difficulty: final score 8/10.
