    I cannot believe how beautiful this game is! Normally your eyes adjust to good graphics over time but this constantly looks amazing,. The platforming and controls are amazing as well.

    The reviews say it all, really. Ori and the Blind Forest is an absolutely magnificent Metroidvania game with spot-on platforming. It also features a lot to collect and you can upgrade your character's abilities when you level up and get a point to spend.

Perfect gameplay in every aspect. It's challenging but not unfair. The graphics are gorgeous and the music is top notch for a video game.

    PEPTIDE IS A NOOB!

    The game's mechanics are tight and yes challenging at times but nothing unreasonable at any times. If anything it's actually pretty forgiving as you can recover from a bad jump/land without dying 4 times out of 5.

    The soundtrack and art style are both phenomenal. You could be forgiven for thinking they were all produced by a single person, such is the unity in vision between the multitude of individuals and the two studios involved. Packed with this is a simple, yet impactful story that tries and unexpectedly succeeds at tugging at the heartstrings.

    The game can be finished within anywhere from 6-12 hours depending on skill level and is a wholly satisfying, contained experience that you can walk away from at the end feeling like you got your money's worth.

    Finished the game in 6:57. A completely insignificant completion time from someone who was moderately invested in learning the mechanics.

    AN EXERCISE IN PERFECTION

    Admittedly, Xbox One hasn’t had a lot going for it so far — with the exception of Sunset Overdrive, the Microsoft exclusive titles have either come hand in hand with scandal or have been subpar. What’s worse, it is well noted how nearly every multi-platform game runs better on PC and PlayStation 4. With all of that said, no one game has single-handedly turned around my opinion of a console and its future than Ori and the Blind Forest.

    If you are going in blind (excuse the pun), Ori and the Blind Forest is a “metroidvania,” puzzle platformer with some light action and RPG elements. You play as Ori, a Forest Spirit, who was separated from the Spirit Tree early on. After being raised by the motherly Naru, the forest began slowly withering away. Before long, Naru succumbs to sickness and hunger and Ori is an orphan once again. With the help of an accompanying forest spirit (Sein), Ori is tasked to return the Three Elements of Light (Water, Winds, and Warmth) to bring
    balance back to the forest.

    Moon Studios without a doubt knows how to tug on the heart strings — if you aren’t welling up in the first 15 minutes, I honestly doubt your humanity. Thanks in part to the beautifully orchestrated score and fantastic art style, Ori and the Blind Forest brings to mind a Pixar movie. Throughout the seven hour playthrough, I got chills from the beautifully narrated story about family and sacrifice. Sure, the story has its platformer tropes (collect three orbs to unlock three temples to save the world), it is presented in a fresh and interesting way that felt like a perfection of a genre instead of a copy.

    While I can talk at ends about the storyline, it would be for naught without matching gameplay and level design. Impressively, both of these elements are just as masterfully executed. Like any other metroidvania title, the protagonist starts off weak and with a limited area to explore. Each power up you grab opens the path to a larger selection of collectables and more difficult sections of the map until the world is at your fingertips.

    While this recipe is tried and true, Ori and the Blind Forest brings substantial improvements to the formula. Nearly all of the powerups add to the platforming elements, making it a joy and a breeze to get across the map. For instance, the Bash ability gained halfway through the game lets you slingshot off enemies and their projectiles. Even better, slingshotting these projectiles can help open paths or take down those same enemies.

    Upgrades are given liberally through an XP system found in scattered collectables or earned by killing enemies. Up until the last second I was earning upgrades and feeling noticeably stronger.

    While all the platforming and gameplay feels great, prepare to die. Alot. In my seven hour playthrough I died exactly 223 times (according to the leaderboards), and that is on the low end of the spectrum (other reviewers racking up in excess of 500 deaths). While the game has an achievement for beating the game in under three hours and one for a zero death playthrough, I doubt very many will be able to accomplish that.

    Thankfully, the game implements a smart quick save/checkpoint mechanic. As long as you aren’t around enemies and have enough energy, Ori will be able to create a Spirit Flame, instantly logging the progress and allowing for upgrades. While this doesn’t make the game easier, it makes the difficult sections easier to swallow.

    There are minor blips on the radar that draw away from perfection, specifically a few framerate problems, the inability to re-enter locations for 100% completion, and bizarre difficulty spikes. However, the game is so polished and these issues are so sporadic, they were never able to ruin my enjoyment of the game.

    I am always hard pressed to believe the “hype” about games, however Ori and the Blind Forest is one of the best games to come out this generation, let alone on any Xbox platform. The game finds a perfect balance that both newcomers and long time gamers will enjoy, making it easily recommendable to everyone. While the game borrows from a tried and true formula, every mechanic feels fresh and polished largely thanks to the orchestrated music and stunning world. Ori is a gem that should be on everyone’s short list of “must play” games, especially at its $20 price tag.    … Expand

    Ori and the Blind Forest is a game that falls through sight, ears and fingers. Graphically well done, -first Xbox One game that runs in 1080-, orchestrated music, and precision control.¡It´s a Must Have! One for XBOX players. High difficulty, but challenging, of those games that gives pleasure to play again and again. Best of all, the price: $ 20 well spent compared to the last three games A.

    Ori and The Blind Forest is without a doubt in my mind one of the most strikingly beautiful games I've ever played. Its visuals are vibrant and rich, its music soothing and ethereal, and its gameplay is interesting and a bit challenging.

Its visuals are vibrant and rich, its music soothing and ethereal, and its gameplay is interesting and a bit challenging.

    Normally I don't like to play difficult games or games that cause me to want to go crazy, but this game is absolutely worth the challenge. Every time I fail to make a jump or get taken out by an enemy, I don't blame the game;I blame myself and aim to perform better the next time, feeling relief when I finally get enough precision to complete the task at hand.

    Its light RPG elements are a welcome familiarity in this very alien forest, and it helps that the game promotes exploration, making me want to look around for ways to make Ori better at combat and traversal of the land. It helps make it feel as if Ori is learning from experiences in the forest and backtracking to put the abilities to use doesn't feel jarring.

    The story is presented in an interesting manner and I definitely feel it, running through several different emotions(so I won't spoil what they are). The story is quite the fascinating one, and definitely a great backdrop for the title.

    All in all, I can't think of anything that would take away from this game. It is a MUST PURCHASE. Absolutely worth the value, has speed running and take your time potential, and is definitely my favorite game in 2015 thus far.

    Everyone should give this a chance if they can handle the difficulty. Definite 10/10 for the content and value.    … Expand

This is by far the most beautiful game I've ever played yet. The attention to detail is captivating, especially in motion. The environment surrounding you reacts to your every move, and the background parallax effect is breathtaking. Even just moving and jumping around is pure joy, thanks to the smooth and responsive character animations. The music is absolutely wonderful and fits the mood of the game at all times. The sound design is also impeccable; I got chills every time I learned a new ability. The story is simple yet incredibly well executed and very touching. It really pulls you in and motivates you to save the forest.

    Ori and the Blind Forest is a metroidvania platformer, so you progressively unlock new abilities that allow you to go to places you couldn't reach or access before. Backtracking never felt tedious to me in this game, because it's mostly up to you as a player. You don't have to go back and collect all the secrets and uncover the whole map, but doing so is extremely satisfying.

    What I especially adore about the game's flow is the absence of hand-holding. This is a game that respects your intelligence as a player and your ability to figure things out on your own. The game may guide you subtly, but it never explicitly tells you what you need to do. Instead, it uses clever level design to introduce new gameplay mechanics to you. It all feels very instinctive and natural.

    There's a simple but very welcome level-up system, with 3 perk trees that gradually improve your character's current abilities in a different way or add convenient info to your map. You get XP orbs every time you kill an enemy, and some bigger XP orbs are hidden in secret locations, so this gives you another incentive to kill enemies and explore the map. Plus, it improves the sense of progression and gives you that nice RPG feel of choosing what perk tree you level up first.

    Heck, even the saving system is cool and exciting. The game doesn't save automatically for you; you have to do it manually by lighting a kindle. This can cause some really intense moments, and it punishes players for being too reckless. The difficulty curve is also perfect; the whole game offers a solid challenge, but if you remember to save often, it's still quite forgiving.

    By the way, this game has no loadings, so the fun never stops and the sense of immersion is never interrupted.

    I believe this is gaming at its finest. Truly a masterpiece in game design, and my personal favorite game of the year so far.    … Expand

The game's genre, dubbed 'metroidvania' favors gameplay based on movement, with combat taking a backseat. This is enhanced by the game's increasing difficulty. The game eases the player into the ever-increasing skillset, but before long, you will have to be creative, reactionary, and patient to master this challenging game. This difficulty, while harsh, rarely seems unfair, and creates a very rewarding experience once mastered. The world in the game is vast, favoring one large map to smaller levels, and has no load times, so the world feels as if it is alive and unified. You create your own checkpoints, so the game is great to play at your own pace. Also, when respawning after a death, there is no loading time, so dying doesn't feel frustrating or tedious. A game of this quality isn't typical, and never will be. The story is also heartwrenching, beautiful, and tight. You will likely be hooked just after seeing the opening.

Exigeant, dynamique, fun, compétence à débloquer, combo, course poursuite, moment de stress, bref tout les points qui fond que ce jeu de plateforme est le maître dans le genre, j'attendais ceci depuis Rayman Legends. La bande son du jeu est magnifique avec des thème vraiment fort qui nous pousse encore plus dans l'immersion du jeu servie pas une ambiance absolument incroyable, vous allez vite ressentir des émotions pas toujours positives. Et justement la faute à un scénario vraiment triste ou le personnage est mal traité et dès le début la couleur est annoncée, il ne s'agit pas d'un rayman, ici c'est beaucoup plus triste et ça se ressent dans la globalité du titre.

    Xbox one's last game so far.... xbox one really lacks on good games and this one shows everything that the players expect from a good 2D game.

    Это лучший платформер из всех по сюжету, красоте и драматургии! На дворе 2019 год, а я стабильно прохожу эту игру как минимум раз в квартал, и не надоедает! Жду вторую часть просто с замиранием сердца! Разработчикам отдельное спасибо, за такой шедевр!Это лучший платформер из всех по сюжету, красоте и драматургии!

    6 years after the Xbox One's initial launch and to this day there isn't a better exclusive on the box. Ori and the blind forest is a pure, joy filled metroidvania which has addictive gameplay, magnificent story, amazing art design, love-able characters, and one of the best soundtracks you'll ever listen to. If you own an xbox one, there is no reason you shouldn't have this game. It's an6 years after the Xbox One's initial launch and to this day there isn't a better exclusive on the box.

    Most of the good stuff is in the second half, but get there and the substance stars to match the style. [June 2015, p.62]

    Ori and the Blind Forest is still enjoyable, obviously…it's just that those strengths are so strong that it's hard to imagine what would've been needed for that one ever-so-slightly-weaker element to match up with them. Nonetheless, it's still one heck of an accomplishment, and it's well worth your investment.
