Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition

I picked this game up alongside its sequel Will of the Wisps as they were both on an ABSURD sale. The bundle including both games was a measly £5.61 as opposed to £35.98! But let me tell ya, I GLADLY would've spent that cash and THEN SOME with how absurdly good this game ended up being! Where do I even begin?? First off, if you even REMOTELY like the Metroidvania genre, this is an absolute must-play no questions asked. It was the perfect blend of not being TOO overly complicated to the point where you're constantly getting lost to the point of frustration, but it also wasn't SO straightforward that it defeats the point of BEING a Metroidvania. And if you ask me, that's a pretty hard balance to strike! Yet somehow, this game accomplishes it FLAWLESSLY. The visuals are some of the best I have had the pleasure of seeing; they're eye-candy from beginning to end. The story is not too simple, but not too complicated and is super sweet, sad, and everything in-between along the way. I had a dumb smile plastered on my face from ear-to-ear by the end. The OST is absolutely immaculate and sent chills down my spine multiple times. The skills and abilities you unlock throughout your journey …

Got it during autumn sale, great graphic and music, fun gameplay

After playing Hollow Knight this insufferable imprecise floaty platforming is torture. Can't tolerate anymore.

A much nicer game to look at than it is to play. Platforming feels slippery and imprecise, combat consists of spamming one button, and the midpoint of the game has WAY too many spiky traps and not nearly enough of the resources you need to create save points. I rage quit at Misty Woods and I'm not ashamed of it.

The forest didn't see me...

The game has a simple yet touching story with great gameplay and combat, would recommend all the way
