    Mini Review: Ori and the blind forest

    Ori manages to mix difficult platforming with a some metroidvania aspects to make a unique looking game. First up this game does look gorgeous with a nicely animated hand drawn style. The story to go along with the art style is rather simple but it at least tells a interesting tale. Unlike the cute exterior might imply the platforming challenges in this game will get pretty rough. Like all good platformers it feels great to control and it'll never feel like the game wasn't keeping up with your button presses. On the other side fighting using the lock on lasers Ori has is rather simple and is more about dodging attacks. Along the way Ori will also get new abilities and skills like a double jump.

    Yet the collect a bunch of things aspect doesn't seem like it was planed the correct way. Once the player leaves certain areas it is not possible to go back to collect hidden items. This seems to go against having collectibles like that if they didn't want anyone to get them all without a guide. Also not having a ability to go from one side of the world to the other quickly will lead to some backtracking as well. Overall the vibrant art style and the spot on platforming make this game you should check out.

I also love the metroidvania style!Bad: Game still suffers from some game breaking glitches, such as being stuck in ...
