    The game is beautiful in every aspect. The artwork looks amazing, the animation is fluid, music is wonderful, map makes sense, difficulty goes up not too fast, but not too slow and you easily get attached to the characters. The game starts off with a sad cutscene, and I have never been this teary this fast in a game before. Simply amazing.

The music and atmosphere are so wonderful though you will probably forgive the game for its difficulty. Expand

    Game is a pure diamond and one of a kind. Beautiful graphics and very interesting mechanics make a unique combination. Still it is not a casual game, it may seem as not that difficult until a first difficulty spike. It may be frustrating at times, but all in all it is worth to finish it at least once.

    This game has remarkable visual appearance and the sound score is a gem in itself. The controls are tight and responsive - it's a real pleasure to play this game. Levels are well designed and the character progression is pretty nice. You unlock different moves as you gain experience and unlock new moves that allow you to access places you were unable without them.

    The story is pretty good. There is not much dialog but the ambiance and the general atmosphere is really good. This is not the easiest game though and some elements involve quite the skill but when you succeed it's very satisfying. And I do think the rather hard difficulty is a good thing in this instance.

    As a whole - this game is pretty close to perfection.

    This game is a masterpiece. Best metroidvania I've ever played. Atmosphere, story, graphic design and arts (!!!), and very satisfying, rewarding skill curve. I'm not giving a 10 because it have small bug in Forlorn Ruins however it can be solved with no effort, so it's not game-breaking. Small tip: this game is much easier and fun when you play it using a gamepad.

    If you ask me, this should be the game of the year (2015). Hearth-warming story; music, which gives you goosebumps, and rarely well done visuals. One thing, which can bother anyone, is the mechanics. I mean, you have to jump, calculate the directions, keep an eye on almost everything. But, if you leave these behind, you'll see a true masterpiece of this kind of art (yes, this is art.)

    - Banda sonora impresionante.

    Puntos Negativos:

    - Pega algunos tirones de FPS.
    - Historia muy corta.

    Ori and the Blind Forest's visual presentation is striking. From the very moment the game starts its hard not to appreciate just how beautiful the game is. But don't let that beauty and artistry fool you. Beneath the vivid color pallete and wonderful animation lies a incredibly challenging 2-D platformer.

    Ori is proof that you don't need a complex story to have a good story. Its story is simple but evocative. Within the first ten minutes of the game you will find your heartstrings being pulled. It also needs to be said that Ori's soundtrack and audio are superb. From the opening score the music helps to draw you into the world.

    Its quite clear to me that the game drew inspiration from classic NES platformers like Metroid and Kid Icarus. But Ori finds clever new ways to use similar ideas to make it feel like a wholy unique experience. For example in Metroid you often download a map for the area using a map station; or come to areas you can't access yet. This idea is present in Ori as well but you can only do so after you obtain map fragments. This encourages exploration. And like Metroid you will find areas that are only accessible after you acquire a new ability. In one sequence there are these glowing tubes that propel you off screen only to show up on the opposite side of the screen. This is a mechanic that appeared in Kid Icarus. There are also tubes on the top and bottom of the screen. These 'tubes' have force and can send you to your death if you aren't careful.

    Ori has a surprising level of character progression. You can pick up spheres to gain ability points, or increase your health/magic. These act like Energy tanks or missile expansions in Metroid. The game has save points but you are able to use a bit of your 'magic' (blue energy) to create a save point of your own. This also serves to assign ability points to upgrade your abilities. These abilites can range from increased damage, or automatic pickup of health/magic etc.

    Ori is a truly gorgeous game that while perhaps inspired by classic NES platformers; it manages to stand on its own. Like its predecessor's the game isn't afraid to challenge you. And when you complete a difficult section its all the more satisfying. This game is worth every penny; and should not be missed. If you enjoyed games like Super Metroid your going to love Ori.

    Fantastic game! I very rarely play platform games, but the gorgeous graphics and sound on the trailer made me try it, and it just gets better in game.

    Gameplay is really solid, it's fun and addictive, with some new (as far as I know) interessting mechanics. If you like platform games, this should be a must, and if you don't, this is probably the best game to start with the genre.

    When reviewing a game, I usually try to understand why a game is good or bad, and what feels wrong in a game.

    But sometimes, nothing feels wrong. Therefore, should I feel wrong for not finding anything to say that has not already been said?

    “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.

    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

    - The Music is the second strongest aspect of the game. Its amazing and too memorable at times. its just freaking amazing. (10/10)
    - The level design is great and varied with breakable walls, checkpoints, optional collectibles which can improve your playthrough. Again some areas might be a little frustrating but the checkpoints reload in a second so it might not be a big problem. (9.5/10)
    - The graphics/looks is the best aspect of the game. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. (10/10)
    - This might look like an innocent game but is very unforgiving and really hard at times. You WILL DIE multiple times and will potentially rage-quit at certain sections but trust me the trouble is worth it because its a really unique journey.

    This is a must-play if you like some good ol' platforming and side-scrolling combat and can appreciate creative level design and god tier music. Also the game is beautiful. Dont miss it!

Также игра идеальна по своей продолжительности , вот 9-11 ч прям самое то.

    Amazing game with awesome soundtrack but theres not many tracks sadly. The gameplay is fantastic and on point satisfying. Its not that hard and challenging which is a shame and story is wholesome yet mediocre. The skill tree lets you unlock skill which you cant have at that time so theyre worthless and there could be more fast travel checkpoints.

    Ori and the Blind Forest is maybe the best plataformer game I've ever played, the game is truly an experience, the game exceeds in all of it's aspects, gameplay, music, controls, mechanics, story, visuals, everything! If you're reading this because you're not sure if it's worth it, well, doubt no more, the game deserves all the good reviews it has, including this one.

    Самая лучшая игра в которую я играл. В ней можно ощутить весь спектр эмоций. На высокой сложности довольно хардкорная. Самый большой плюс это графика и музыка. От некоторых моментов просто мурашки по коже. В общем эта игра САМАЯ обязательная к прохождению.Самая лучшая игра в которую я играл. В ней можно ощутить весь спектр эмоций.

    This is a masterpiece. It reminded me very much of hollow knight but with less bossing and more chasing and plattforming. The progression is tuned perfectly, the story hits right in the feels and the presentation is gorgeous and timelss. It took me around 8,5 hrs for 100% on hard.

    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!

    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.
  2. 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.
