    Ori and the Blind Forest is one of those games that reminds you why simple gameplay, when done right, still works. It’s a beautiful 2D platformer that focuses on movement, timing, and flow rather than overwhelming you with systems or clutter. The progression feels natural. You unlock abilities as you play, and each one meaningfully changes how you move through the world. Backtracking never feels like a chore because new skills open up paths that previously felt impossible. The platforming…

    A new drawing of a character from an underrated series, Ori! It was just an experimental drawing to practice my painting skills that I still need more work on. Took a while what video game art to make next so I decided on Ori And The Blind Forest. #OriAndTheBlindForest #XBox #MoonStudios #Fanart

    Random Game Awards trivia I just stumbled on while doing research. "Best Art Direction" launched as a category in 2015. The first 4 winners were all indie games. (Ori and the Blind Forest, Inside, Cuphead, Return of the Obra Dinn). Then it was all AAA until Expedition 33 last year.

    I completed this game a few weeks ago. It was my second time getting 100% achievements here. I also completed the Definitive Edition (DE) and the second game. I accidentally cleared all achievements via the steam console, so after a 2 year break, I replayed the game. It's still a masterpiece. Yes, the DE is better in every aspect, yes, you don't need to play the original game if you have the DE, because it's the same game but with a lot of improvements. Nevertheless, even without all the DE…

    Ended up completing Ori and the Blind Forest in one sitting. I like it BUT; The game has far too many "escape" bits. And they are long. And dying means starting the whole bit again. Be it from the big ol' owl, lava or water - got a bit much. 8/10 #blutoid #ori

    Ori and the Blind Forest was the first Xbox game I ever played in 2016.

    After completing the Definitive Edition, I thought I would see what the standard edition is like since it comes with a purchase of the Definitive Edition. Plus, I'm going through my unplayed games and since this is a separate copy, it counts as a different game. There was a lot I liked about Ori, I finished it once, but playing it again and especially the first version makes me remember everything I didn't like about it. It can be very punishing and frustrating. I didn't realize that in the…

    Unless you are a seasoned platformer player, this game is going to make you grind your teeth and ragequit several times. Whoever said this game was "relaxing" lied to me. The learning curve is steep and there was a point around the second zone that I just ?? :) gave up and started following a walkthrough. I couldn't figure out where to go, what to do, how to progress. Mind you, I tried on controller and keyboard both, and found keyboard to be more comfortable for me. As I am writing this…
