    Bella l'ambientazione e la grafica ma, a lungo andare, il gioco diventa monotono e noioso.

    Обычный платформер, не дающий ничего нового. Я вообще не понимаю, зачем разработчики делают игры этого жанра, если они изжили себя.

    Beautifully designed but make sure you like platformers before buying. Like so many of its counterparts, this game is full of control issues, petty blockers, and frustrating gameplay. But some people like beating their face on a brick wall for half an hour until they break through. For me, a veteran of Dark Souls and lots of other different but challenging games, this is hell.

    Very overrated. It's just a basic platformer with nice visuals. I'm not sure if I bother playing more this kind of games.

    I find the gameplay of Ori extremely boring, the mechanic is overused and gets old fast and it uses too many buttons... graphics are gorgeous but soon you realise everything looks the same and the shade is a tiresome effect. The floaty platafforming is something I cannot stand even on SNES Donkey Kong. And you reccomend it just for the first level... talk about low standards

    Oyun gereksiz zor, öğretici öğe barındırmıyor sıkıştığımız yerde ipucu vermiyor mal mal geziyoruz haritada.

    Very very very BAD game :
    - everything looks the same...
    - very hard and irritating
    - a very small mistake and you will restart the same long sequence over and over and over and over again

    The game is initially very cute and captivating. As you progress, its getting so hard and irritating so that you can't see its beauty any more and merely struggle not to chuck the controller to the screen. One small mistake and you have to restart the same long sequence of actions over and over and over and over again - extremely frustrating. I should have read the rewiews before buying the game.

    you can't redefine controls....only choose if you're using a qwerty or azerty keyboard.dear developers,not everyone uses the same control scheme and releasing a game without the option to redefine your keyboard is not acceptable.

    good story and nice gameplay but the early game is a pain in the ass since you gotta explore the map and die almost instantly, the save mechanic is nice but it's annoying that saving uses resources to fight leaving you with less options overall, must problems get solved later on but by that time there's no need to actually save because of the movement options and excess energy .

    Worst game, almost broke my keyboard while trying to play this. Dropped this at water tree flood, its impossible to pass. I dont know who can really like games of this genre, its looks like kinda masochism.

    People, what is wrong with you? Why dozens of positive feedback and 10 grades? What is exceptional in this game? Story is hardly understandable and looks extremely odd. Music is good but not excellent. You won't have a chance to take a break and listen to it anyway. Controls are one of the worst that I have ever played. If you will make 0.5 second lack you will definitely die. There arePeople, what is wrong with you? Why dozens of positive feedback and 10 grades? What is exceptional in this game?

Controls are one of the worst that I have ever played. If you will make 0.5 second lack you will definitely die. There are always 4-6 buttons in combinations. It`s common to make mistakes and fail. Gameplay is awful too. You will die 100 or more times just to pass through some plot platforming element. You won't be rewarded for your suffering. There won't be any achievement skills boost etc after it. There are dozens of other games to enjoy. Just don't waste your time on that. It definitely is not a masterpiece at all.… Expand

    It was ok for me - very pretty with nice music, but if you are not a fan of platformers (like me) this one might seem quite annoying at times with not much of a reward for when you beat a certain part of it.

    I don't like Ori and the blind forest, despite what most people say about the game. The graphics are weird, the gameplay is a little dull. The story is something more like a Studio Ghibli type of thing, which while engaging in a movie i can't say the same for a game (well, at least THIS game). What a shame

    Playing Ori and the Blind Forest is akin to having a piano lesson — it is fun only when you press exactly the right keys. Get off the mark for just a split second, and the entrancing melody is gone, the tempo is ruined, and all you can hear is the sound of your fingers frantically tapping the keys.

    At first, Ori looks like a very easy game. But that’s a deception: the further you go into the forest, the louder cracking of your thumbs will become. Our condolences go to anyone who will try to beat Ori on keyboard+mouse combo instead of gamepad. [May 2015, p.71]

    If you’d asked me back in the Super Nintendo days what video games would look like in the future, I imagine that I might have pictured something just like [Ori]. That is to say, something with the visual resonance of a masterfully animated film.
