    It's a very good game. Nice graphics. Naive but good story. The game is interesting and was fun to explore.
    Among the disadvantages is the primitive game design of the locations.

    It's a platforming gem with captivating mechanics, a heartwarming story, and breathtaking art design. The gameplay is challenging but fun. Additionally, emotional narrative and stunning visuals create an unforgettable experience. It's a masterpiece that showcases the best of what gaming can offer.

    Ori and the Blind Forest es una historia hecha videojuego. Esto puede sonar a que está mal adaptado a este medio. Nada más lejos de la realidad. Ori and the Blind Forest es un videojuego increíble. Aunque sí que se nota algún punto flojo.

    Jugablemente, es genial. Tiene unos controles súper fluidos que a manos de expertos, son una delicia de ver solamente. Esto si lo combinamos con la cantidad ingente de habilidades que se consiguen tanto obligatoriamente como las que se obtienen en el árbol de habilidades, crea un set de movimientos muy amplio en el que puedes hacer auténticas virguerías.

    Con el mapa tengo sentimientos encontrados. Por una parte, me ha gustado, tiene entornos variados, un diseño bastante parecido al de un metroidvania (por su "no linealidad"), muchas secciones plataformeras que aprovechan a la perfección el control tan bueno que tenemos sobre Ori, pero por otra parte, me ha parecido muy lineal para ser un metroidvania. Va llevándote de la mano indicándote dónde está todo y a dónde tienes que ir. Pero en general, es un muy buen mapa.

    Audiovisualmente, es hermoso. Pocos juegos he visto con un soundtrack que pueden hacerte llorar o animarte al mismo tiempo. Tiene un montón de temas súper épicos que llegan al corazón y quiero dar mi enhorabuena a la orquesta dedicada al OST del juego. Y visualmente es una delicia. Es un juego precioso, con un montón de colores, con diseños de personajes y lugares espectaculares... Podría pasarme horas diciendo lo bueno que es en este aspecto.

    Y la historia es muy buena. Lo que menciono al principio de la reseña de "una historia hecha videojuego" se nota. Se centra mucho en temas como el amor padre-hijo, el sacrificio y la lealtad, creando una trama con momentos muy trágicos que pueden hacer llorar.

    En conclusión, Ori and the Blind Forest es un juegazo que por su duración (unas 7,5 horas en mi caso) se te puede hacer mi caro, pero créeme que merece completamente la pena. Recomendadísimo.    … Expand

A medida que avanzas, el combate y el desplazamiento se vuelven más interesantes y difíciles de dominar. La historia es muy buena pero quizás demasiado ñoña. A grandes rasgos es un grandísimo juego y a cualquiera que le guste la estética o el género le va a encantar (como es mi caso). Estoy seguro de que me jugaré la secuela.… Expand

    The gameplay is no less wonderful, a huge number of mechanics that gradually open up on the passage, so even at the very end of the game will entertain you with the new, and you can go through some locations have a completely new way :)

    Played calmly and on the keyboard, the game is actually not as difficult as it is described by some, certainly not more difficult than many of some platformers, I think almost the easiest in its genre, just a little patience and everything will turn out. Difficulties are only in some moments on the bosses, but no more than that, and the great pleasure when after 10 attempts all come out perfectly.

    For all fans of platformers absolutely recommended!    … Expand

Также игра идеальна по своей продолжительности , вот 9-11 ч прям самое то. Единственно , что могли бы сделать куда лучше, это разнообразие противников, на протяжении всей игры одних и тех же видишь , просто цвет им изменяют в зависимости от локации.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game caught my eye a couple years ago due to the high reviews and the fact it was picked up by Microsoft for the Xbox One. I had it downloaded on my computer and thought it was perfect for my schoolwork. Lately, I have been playing a lot of multiplayer games and have not had the time for a single player game. This game immediately caught my eye as it is very focused on the visuals and the storyline which would be a change of pace to me. When I began playing it I was greeted in the beginning by a cinematic type story sequence. This helped create a backstory for Ori and open up for the main story. This game is very beautiful in many ways, and has a lot to be analyzed.
    The first part of the game that I analyzed was the genre. I believe Ori and the Blind Forest is a game that falls under the umbrella of three genres. These genres being action, adventure, and strategy. It is an action game because while following the main storyline you have to fight a lot of different enemies along the way. Although, the combat is not very intensive since their is no aiming mechanic and it is mostly based on dodging attacks and placing yours at the right time. I mainly believe though that Ori is an adventure and strategy game. Adventure since you are set to explore the massive landscape in different regions around the forest of Nibel. The forest of Nibel is the main forest of the game, in which you are tasked to save. It encompasses strategy in this adventure play style through the individual “levels”. Although there are no set levels, I looked at the different stages and regions that you explored as the levels of the game. The ways in which this game utilizes these genres have to do with the history of these genres.
    Historically, this game is not old at all. It was released in 2015, by a studio that was made in 2010. This game was very popular at release and won many awards. Although it is a young game, it does have a historical background. This game is a platform with a new spin on it, which has similarities to games like Metroid and Rayman along with other classic platformers. This game is not only a platformer, as I have said it is based on three genres. These genres have extensive historical pasts as well. Action and Adventure games were many of the first genres created with games like Asteroid and The Legend of Zelda. Puzzle games are also very popular, with obvious titles like Tetris. All these games and many more can be seen in certain aspects of Ori and the Blind Forest. The way that the designers of this game sewed these aspects together is through the aesthetics of the game.
    Aesthetics is a very interesting and confusing term. I believe that Aesthetics refers to the way the game plays, and how it affects your senses. Visually, this game is very beautiful with an almost hand-drawn feel to the graphics. There are spooky caves, weird spider lairs, overgrown forests, a mountain with interesting creatures, and much more to explore. These graphics aren’t the only important part, they are accompanied by the sounds and mechanics of the game as well. By sounds I mean sounds from effects in the game as well as the music. The music follows the mood of the game, being calm during calm points and a little more energetic during fights. The mechanics of this game are in the controls, and also the animation. The controls are normal controls for PC platformer, and the animation is very fluid. There are also a lot of small animations like when you are taking damage, retrieving health points and so much more. These animations help give more dynamic to the controls, and makes the player feel more connected to the game in a sense. As well as Aesthetics, this game also has cultural and narrative aspects.
    Culturally, I believe this game is made to be enjoyed by people of all walks of life. Its animation style as well as story can be fitting for young children as well as adults. This game can also be played in many different ways, there are a ton of locations in which you are allowed to save and come back, so if you are a busy student for example you can just take short snippets of fun. This game also has a great following, with a lot of fan art and cosplays that are made every single day to celebrate the interesting art style and narrative. This narrative, I believe is the most important part of the game. The main character and setting being Ori and Nibel Forest. Other main characters are Sein and the voice of the tree of life. Sein is the small blue orb that follows you around and attacks for you, and the voice is the main narrator of the game that helps you through the story.
    Finally, if I were to group this game in a professional sense I would say it could be interpreted as a modern educational game. Mainly of course this game is for entertainment, but I believe there is a message below the surface. This message being environment awareness and preservation. The main storyline of this game is to save the life force of the    … Expand

    “Ori and the Blind Forest” is beautiful, both aesthetically and graphically. The scenery is gorgeous, the character animation is smooth, the lighting and colorimetry is great, and the music goes perfectly on top of this.

    The character is enjoyable to control, it’s fun to move him around the forest, and each new ability permits more traversability, so revisiting old worlds doesn’t feel tedious. Some zones are even accessible using these new powers, like in Super Metroid.

    If I had to find a flaw, it would be the escape sequences. During these, you have a single life, and if you fail, you start from the beginning, and learning is mostly trial-and-error, not my favorite game design pattern. But still, they were interesting to play in the end.

    All in all, one of the greatest Metroidvania games you can find.
    They even put bonus content directly inside the game, with early footage from the first prototypes and concept arts. It was really interesting to see how much they spent on player movement and abilities in the early development, surely that’s how they managed to make this game so good and that’s something more game developers should do.    … Expand

Although new to the video game industry, Moon Studios' Metroidvania was a blowout success and has won multiple awards, due to its impressive art style and solid mechanics. In this review, I will try to highlight why Ori and the Blind Forest has received such critical acclaim while sharing my personal experiences from my ten-hour playthrough of the game.
    Before delving into the game, it is important for you to understand what kind of person this review is coming from. Ori and the Blind Forest was my first ever Metroidvania style game to play, my usual repertoire consists mainly of story-driven platformers, such as the trine series. The key distinction between a Metroidvania style game compared to a regular platformer is the introduction of an open-world map and a progression tree. These distinct differences help to emphasize exploration within Metroidvania style games compared to platformers.
    With that out of the way, let's move onto one of the main reasons I couldn't put Ori and The Blind Forest down, during my playthrough: the Story. The general plot of the game consists around Ori's, a white guardian spirit, quest to rejuvenate her home forest, which has fallen into darkness, by recollecting the lost orbs which kept the forest in balance. Although there is no voice acting in the title, due to the beautiful animations and cutscenes, the player creates a strong emotional connection not only to the silent protagonist but also to the forest which is slowly coming back to life throughout the game. This in conjunction with the beautiful and emotive soundtrack by Gareth Coker creates such a strong and emotive storyline, that it is very hard to not be touched by the plights of Ori and the sacrifices she must make throughout the game.
    The main standout characteristic of the game has to be the beautiful art style that the game possesses. Although similar to Ubisoft's UbiArt graphics engine, which was used for Child of Light and the more recent Rayman games, the hand-drawn aesthetic which focuses on the light in such a big way, adds another layer of depth and makes the act of exploring the world interesting and engaging no matter where you are on the map, which is crucial in a Metroidvania style game, as it is crucial for the development of the story and the character that the player revisits already found areas with new abilities to progress through them further, or in an entirely new way.
    Although a fantastic story, an impeccable art style, and a near-perfect soundtrack can help to create a great game, unless the underlying mechanics and gameplay are rock-solid then it will all be for nothing. Thankfully, the mechanics and gameplay within Ori are smooth to use and especially later in the game the sense of motion that some of Ori's abilities possess create an exhilarating and satisfying experience for the user that highlight the fluidity of the gameplay.
    In conclusion, I would recommend anybody looking for a well styled and emotive Metroidvania game to give Moon Studio's first release a look and let themselves be sucked into this beautiful world.    … Expand

    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.
