    Ori and the Blind Forest. An artwork from beginning to end. The graphics are pretty, the music is beautiful, the controls are precise and tight and the story is moving. Even thought this is an artwork out of the ordinary, this game have a few problems.

    The controls for PC (Steam) when you want to use a gamepad, are not possible to customize in game. In order for me to get the controls like they would be on the Xbox 360, I had to use my Logitech Profiler tool (which maps buttons on the gamepad and translate that into a keyboard-keys), and by doing this, the game showed hints in both keyboard and gamepad depending on which button I've used last.

    Also the game has bugs where if you get stuck and if you are so unlucky you have saved, the game has to be restarted.

    The last issue with this game is the difficulty curve. The game is fairly easy in most parts, except when you've completed one of the main events in the game which fires a sequence where the curve is a bit too steep compared to the rest of the game.

    All in all a really good game, except for the three issues mentioned above.    … Expand

    Ori is the most fun I have had playing a platformer in years, really beautiful game and it avoided hype, if you own an Xbox One, Ori and the Blind Forest is in the “must buy” Be sure not to miss out on this great game.

    Besides being utterly gorgeous, you're constantly upgrading Ori, it doesn't stall, it doesn't get repetitive, with new unlockables comes new combos, smooth, a lot of different levels, it's just astonishing!

    This game is CHALLENGING. Brutally so. If you like platformers, then you'll like this game. If you like puzzle games, then you'll enjoy this game. If you like neither of those, then you probably won't like this game.

If you like puzzle games, then you'll enjoy this game. If you like neither of those, then you probably won't like this game.

    Gameplay wise, using an XBOX controller, the controls for the most part feel good and responsive. When I did get frustrated with the controls, it was when using the Bash ability that lets you aim your character (Ori) in a direction before firing him off. The XBOX thumb stick felt way too sensitive for this, which made precise aiming very difficult, but I eventually got used to it and gave up trying to make super precise shots (just "good enough" shots instead). The controls might be more precise with a keyboard and mouse, but I never tried them, so I don't know.

    Also, I mentioned that this game is challenging. YOU WILL DIE, and you'll die a lot. Some sections of the game lack save points, which can make them super frustrating after you've attempted to finish them (and failed) 15 times in a row.

    Besides those two points, the gameplay is fairly enjoyable. There are many different ways to kill enemies, and the game gives you a lot of freedom to be creative and experiment with them. You can reflect projectiles back at enemies, push enemies into spikes, or do a devastating combo attack like Bashing an owl down to the ground, then finishing it off with a ground slam. (Note that this game doesn't implement a formal combo system, I just used the term combo informally)

    The level design is very creative, with some levels utilizing back-tracking in really interesting and unexpected ways. The levels will really push you as a player to use all of your abilities to the best of your ability.

    The visual aesthetic of this game is BEAUTIFUL. Combined with the great soundtrack, this game really knows how to move you emotionally. It's almost like playing an interactive Disney movie.

    I was surprised by how relatively quickly I finished the game (11 hours). I suppose that's normal for a platformer though. There's actually an achievement for finishing the game in 3 hours.

    So again, if you really like challenging platformers (along with some puzzle solving), then you'll probably really like Ori and the Blind Forest. But if you don't enjoy platformers that much, then Ori and the Blind Forest will probably frustrate you to no end, and you'll probably end up rage quitting (and uninstalling) the game.    … Expand

The gameplay mechanics are excellent throughout with some novel elements alongside more traditional elements. The character animations are noteworthy within a game that excels in almost every department. My only criticism is, that whilst the game is challenging throughout, offering new skills commensurate to the difficulty, towards the end of the game you are quite hard to kill by regular enemies. This renders them as a subordinate peril to the increasingly dangerous environment. Often just an inconvenience instead of a challenge. That aside, this is the best platform experience I can remember. A wonderful, unexpected, treat of a game.… Expand

    The mechanics with all the Super Metroid like power-ups (e.g. double-jump, wall run, dash through opponents, and many more) are really refreshing and make this game a real challenge to beat at times.

    One of the best games i've ever played (and i've played A LOT of games in the past 25 years). I decided to register on metacritic just to let everyone know that this game is a true masterpiece in every aspect. The music, atmosphere, unbelievably gorgeous visuals, story, even the physics and controls are fantastic! It could be hard at some parts but it wouldn't be a good game without challenge.

    This game is an absolute masterpiece and a must-buy for any fan of platformers. Pay no mind to the complaints below. The controls work perfectly, and there are no issues with any of Ori's abilities, you just need to know how to use them. Enemies do respawn, but it takes a few minutes, so it's definitely not a problem. Not once did I die due to enemies respawning too fast.

    I must, however, say that this game is meant to be played with a controller. If you don't have one, keyboard (which is what I used) is the second best choice. The keyboard+mouse combo is awkward and a big, annoying glowing cursor is on screen all the time.
    The game looks and sounds like an animated movie, and watching the trailer alone convinced me to buy it. You can currently get the soundtrack on Steam, and I highly recommend it. If you like beautiful looking games, this one's just for you.

    Now for the negatives: this is a Metroid type of game, meaning new areas become accessible as you learn new abilities. This is all great, but the game world is quite huge and there seems to be no fast travel system at all. You will obviously be doing a lot of backtracking, and doing so without fast travel is annoying to say the least.
    There are also a few areas where you have to run away from water/lava/the antagonist which contain collectibles, but after you successfully complete the sequence the area will remain locked, meaning you have no way of going back and collecting the items. These collectibles just grant extra experience points, though, and aren't essential to the game.
    The gameplay is solid, if a bit frustrating at times. You will be dying a lot, especially in the chase sections, until you master the sequence.

    Overall, this is a great game. It's not flawless, but it comes pretty close. I'd compare it to Rayman Origins: a platformer that looks like a kids' game, but is so challenging even adults will enjoy it.    … Expand

Bringing us gameplay that harkens back to Sonic The Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros. in a modern and action-packed way. The game forces you to dust off your old-school 2D scroller skills with a controller (I think the best way to play this) and leave your mouse and keyboard for a time.

    This game is what you get when a developer has pure imagination, heart, and passion for their game. The aesthetics of the game are beautiful with many different 'themes' as your move around the large map. The game is so gorgeous looking, it's filled with 'wallpaper' quality screens all the time.

    The gameplay is very fun and challenging but not to the point (personally) where you feel like raging, it's just takes some practice but with the fights and traversal being fun, it keeps you going. The controls are perfect in my opinion, there isn't a single point in this game where you can blame it for getting you injured or killed, if it happens, it's your fault. There hasn't been a game from memory as I type this that's had such fluid control. I would recommend controller for this if you're going to play on PC.
    The music is a bit of everything, it's emotional, it's spiritual, it's tense, it's calming. I still listen to the OST from it's release day when I purchased it.
    Every character, and enemy you encounter in this game really does feel special and Kuro (the bird), just wow, her design and vibe is just awesome.

    I honestly don't know what else to say about this game for this moment, but I guarantee it'll be one of the best if not the best gaming experience you'll have had in a long time. It sounds like I'm really riding this game but that's because I am, it just wonderful. Please go buy it    … Expand

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.)

    Good game with a beautiful soundtrack.
    Very cliché story, and a pretty tedious start, but as the difficulty grows, so does the player's interest.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    “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

    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

    Perfect playing with gamepad. For me this game should have GOTY award anyway.

    This game is a masterpiece, seems a little dated afeter the second one but it is a must play. Characters, soundtracks, worlds... everything is beautiful

    As I created this account just for making a bad review on another game I feel compromised to make a good review on games I love. And Ori and the blind forest was one of them. Beautiful graphics and music, gr8 mechanincs, well balanced difficulty (could bear a little more).

    An excellent platformer: he fascinates with his world and characters, he has an interesting, albeit sometimes difficult, gameplay, he has gorgeous visual and sound components!

    I'm not a really experience person on platforms/metroidvania games, but game was awesome, beautiful and very satisfying playing. Its not hard is most of the game, and the history is simple, but I like it the environment.

    El juego está hermoso. El ambiente está bien en todo aspecto, la dificultad se siente al jugarlo y sobre todas las cosas, es uno de los pocos juegos que demuestra que no se necesita gráficos del futuro para ser un juego maravilloso.

    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.

    Потрясающий платформер. Вообще не любитель этого жанра, но данная игра заставила по-другому смотреть на подобные проекты. Очень красивая графика, классная музыка, затягивающая история, ну и геймплей, разумеется, достаточно разносторонний для платформера: много различных прибамбасов, с помощью которых можно путешествовать по миру, есть даже система прокачки.

    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.
