Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition

I would like to say first that this is the first Xbox game that I have played. And let me tell you that I am glad it was the first game I tried. This game is a masterpiece. It has everything done well from the story, artwork, music, controls and gameplay.

Story

The game is very sad and emotional at the same time it is also cruel. A story of family, friendship, love and sacrifices. You will realize that each character has its own reason, even the villain in the end you will realize that they are not that bad at all. There is character development and you’ll end up loving each character. The story is very good that no matter how hard the game is you'll persevere in the struggle just to uncover more of the memories, secrets and continue the journey.

Gameplay

I played on the easy mode. If this is easy, what is hard? This is the most challenging action platformer game I played. This game is very brutal and not forgiving. Challenges require critical analytical skills. Need to think and think fast. It will test your patience, requires timing and precision.

Artwork is a mixture of both weird and cute and I love it.

Graphics is decent but the puzzle is expertly designed. It requires fast reflexes and judgment. This comes into play especially when escaping the Ginso Tree.

Music

The music is so beautiful that it fits every scene and moment in the game perfectly. Your heart will pound by the aggressive suspenseful beats blaring out during the escape events and you will feel calm during the rise of strings in some cinematic scenes. The music is highly infectious and expect to have a few songs linger in your mind for hours.

Controls are fluid and very responsive; it fits perfectly with the Xbox controller.

Highly recommended!

Very pretty game with a good backstory and doesn’t drag out for too long, very easy mechanics to pick up and smooth gameplay throughout, would highly recommend
