A truly fantastic game. The developers have clearly spent much time and dedication on their debut game, and the love and care they put into it resonates with its dedicated fanbase. Moon studios nailed every aspect of what makes a good game. The visuals of this game are unrivaled with the beautiful hand drawn graphics which makes every scene something special, not to mention the characters who display such emotion to make you fall in love with them saying a word. The soundtrack gives every area its own unique feel whether it be sinister, moody, mysterious or bubbly. The main score is both serene and thrilling, creating the perfect atmosphere for a game such as this. The story is gripping and yet not overbearing, with emotional and mystical but skipable cutscenes, allowing players to embrace the narrative or to focus on the gameplay, which is done exceedingly well. Ori handles smoothly both on the ground and in the air, and posses a variety of unique and rewarding abilites that allow you to traverse the map and take down foes in a multitude of satifying ways. Compelling, original, touching and just plain fun, I highly reccomend Ori and the Blind Forest to anyone and everyone.
