Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition

The Definitive Edition of Ori and The Blind Forest is the best this game can be. Returning players may want to tilt the score down while players who are discovering it for the first time will be in for a treat and should tilt the score up. As challenging as it can be, those sighs of relief after a particularly challenging sequence are still just as rewarding. Returning players may want to consider what their time is worth, however, as paying for additional “features” is not a route the industry should be going. If Ori burned you before (as it had me), don’t expect an apology here. It’s still pretty, fun, and occasionally frustrating, and it still might burn your parent’s house down.

Ori and the Blind Forest was great when it first came out and it’s still great in the Definitive Edition. It has an emotionally effective story and gameplay that is worth the price of admission alone. Once finished you’ll come back to these comments to connect with someone who also understands the journey you took. Now go save Nibel in what’s sure to be a classic in the platforming genre.

Ori and The Blind Forest was a sleeper hit of 2015 and for good reason, it is a challenging yet remarkable platforming experience that is hard to put down. Everything from the art work to the captivating storyline, Ori and The Blind Forest delivers an unforgettable experience. The Definition Edition is the perfect reason for anyone who missed the game the first time around to jump back in but is also a fabulous reason for fans to take Ori through the forest one more time.
