вЂњHe is the reason weвЂ™re alive, heвЂ™s the reason we grow.Gameplay & QualityOri and the Blind Forest is a 2D Platformer with Metroidvania-style progression featuring lots of puzzles to solve, secrets to explore and a fair bit of simple combat. вЂњThe light of the Spirit Tree lives in all of us,вЂќ the game tells us. That gives the game, of course, a steady sense of Eastern philosophy and spirituality. And it all works together in an effort to turn back the forestвЂ™s current age of decay and restore the land and its inhabitants to the way of spiritual light and happiness. YouвЂ™ll gain energy by restoring life shards, discover keystones that open mysterious spirit gates and unearth mapstones that reveal the many winding paths to take. Ori can also, among other things, stomp on foes, catapult their own projectiles back at them, or even send them flying by breaking into a mad dash.ДЄlong the way, youвЂ™ll find tons of exploring, puzzle solving and discovery to be done in the winding wood pathways and underground caves. But OriвЂ™s main form of defense/attack isnвЂ™t a gun blast as much as it is a scattered barrage of fiery homing projectiles tossed out by a floating companion named Sein, a friend Ori finds during his travels. Thus, failing, dying and being reborn at an earlier save point is an inevitable certainty.ДЄs for those many attacking enemies, youвЂ™ll find spiders that spit lava bombs, crawling creatures that break up into multiple exploding attackers, and monkey-like predators that bounce around with rubber ball quickness. The key is combining all these incrementally improving abilities and overcoming the most impossible-looking pathways with perfect pinpoint timing. But that trigger-pulling isnвЂ™t so much about blasting things as it is about orchestrating OriвЂ™s interesting, ever-graceful movements-including flipping, wall-jumping, ground stomping, swimming, climbing and dashing.

Gameplay wise, this is most definitely a danger-filled, obstacle-laden and foe-packed platformer that demands a quick trigger finger. ItвЂ™s up to the once again orphaned Ori to find his way back to the Spirit Tree while seeking out the light of three main elements of Nibel-Water, Wind and Warmth-things vital to restoring the land to its natural balance. And as the food supply dies, the sacrificial Naru gives her last bit of sustenance to Ori before collapsing and passing away. When that distant Spirit Tree calls out for Ori with a beacon of light, however, it sets a cataclysmic event into motion that soon makes the forest wither. The little creature floats down as a glowing leaf to the forest floor and is immediately found and drawn into the adoptive embrace of a loving, marshmallowy, um, thingy named Naru. Ori is actually a glowing little spirit-like critter who, during a storm, is separated from the forestвЂ™s enormous (spiritual) tree of life. The heartstring-tugging tale takes place in the forest of Nibel, a place of spirits and magical elements, ancestral touchpoints and a giant bird fiend.

Within the first few minutes of play, you notice that the lavish colors, shifting pools of light and dark, animated layers, studied use of orchestral underscore, and emotion carried by the story seem more like things you see and feel at the movie house than the game room.Д«ut this is a game.

The downloadable PC and Xbox One game Ori and the Blind Forest has a unique feel about it, to be sure.
