Forums - Microsoft - Ori and the Blind Forest Reviews

man, they should had given a big game status to this game, make sure that the game is long enough, made it exclusive to xbox one and made a phisical box.
i would buy a console for a game like this.
really, a game like this worth more than most AAAs for me.

Rayman Legends was pretty bad though.
This looks cooler from the trailers, I'd buy it if it was on Wii U.

Such a shame DKC: TF didn't receive reviews like this though.

2D Mario games suck even harder btw. They don't have high production values.

What is bad about it? Feel like it is very entertaining and the challenges + music levels are amazing. 

Too many Murphy levels and the other levels just didn't feel as alive as the ones in DKC: TF.



For all the talk of Mario, Rayman, and Donkey Kong... you guys have the wrong genre. @_@

Ori and the Blind Forest is a 2D Action Platformer (or even a Platform Adventure... but most call it MetroidVania), which is very different from a pure platformer. Think of the title more akin to games like Super Metroid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Guacamelee, and Cave Story. The game hosts an interconnected world in which you can gain new abilities as you progress, allowing you to access areas you couldn't before.

That said, both genres are among my favorites, so I'm ecstatic either way.



Grabbing this on Steam tomorrow.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Oh yeah i'm getting this lovely game on PC

The game is supposedly 12-15 hours long which is pretty good considering it's only $20. I'd buy a physical release if they come out with one in the future just to support the dev so fingers crossed.

As for people discussing Rayman Legends, I got the game this week from Games With Gold and I gotta say it's one of the best 2D Platformers I've played in a really long time. I've never played Origins before so I can't compare the two.



Do the console versions have any exclusive content over Steam?

Thanks for the help.
