Ori and the Blind Forest is a game about lasers, spike traps, monsters that look like they came straight out of a Miyazaki movie, and seeing your cute fluffy protagonist get mutilated in hundreds of different ways. Oh, and there's a plot about a giant evil raven and magical trees that need purification to save your forest, and of course little ol' you has got to be the one to do it. With a mixture of puzzle solving, intense platforming and Metroidvania-style exploration, there's a good mixture of a content here to keep things interesting, and the gorgeous music and visuals really help this game stand out. The complex level designs in Ori require mastery of the many abilities you'll be gaining over the adventure, the bash and the walljump being two of the biggest ones.
And did I mention this game is really frigging hard? It's alright though cause it's pretty fair about it and there seems to be a decent speedrunning element to the game, rewarding players who actually get good at the game with leaderboard scores and achievements.
Motta and I will be playing through this game and posting interesting bits as we find them. I'm hoping for a no death run eventually.
