    The controls are tight and responsive, and the music is still satisfying to listen to. Both new environments were wonderful additions to the game and fit seamlessly into the map.

    If you own the original version, there aren't many reasons to upgrade, but if you don't, this is the best way to enjoy one of the best 2D platforming adventure we've played in a long while.

    One of the most beautiful games on the current gen gets even bigger and better, and we can just celebrate it.

    Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition - while superfluous - makes a near-perfect game even better. If you haven't played it, now is the perfect time - and even if you have, it's worth revisiting.

    One of the best platformers of this generation is overhauled by a completely new area and the especially useful ability of dash. Veterans of Ori may wish to return in its beautiful world to enjoy its new difficulty settings, along with the new level. Anyone else who skipped it the first time it came out should seriously reconsider giving it a second chance.

    Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition delivers a even better experience than the original. The two new worlds look stunning and the possibility to fast travel is excellent.

    If Ori burned you before (as it had me), don’t expect an apology here. It’s still pretty, fun, and occasionally frustrating, and it still might burn your parent’s house down.
