SeekerOri and the Blind Forest
Bigger and tougher than it looks, Ori and the Blind Forest is a beautifully realized, brilliantly designed, and at times brutally difficult sylvan Metroidvania-style platformer with enough charm to leave a lasting impression. It's often frustrating and sometimes confusing, but its spectacular platforming, memorable world, and engrossing story wash those concerns away.

Moon Studio’s debut game begins as a stream of interactive cut-scenes with a distinctly Studio Ghibli vibe, following the arrival of the titular glowing sprite in the forest, the destruction of a magical tree and Ori’s adoption by a gentle bear-like creature. All is good for a while, until the forest and its fruits wither and die, followed shortly by Ori’s foster mum, leaving Ori and his spirit guide, Sein, to go out into the forest and do battle with a hostile world.
