Ori and the Blind Forest

[RisingStar]

Has anyone heard of this game yet?
It was like, just released yesterday and there's so much hype about it
And apparently it's really damn good.

I saw it myself in my Steam Queue, and it looks to be a fantastic game. I saw gameplay of it last night watching a stream, and it's just so beautifully done, and the music sounds so beautiful.

What're other people's thoughts on it? Have you bought the game yet and played it??

I only saw one gameplay trailer for it and it reminded me of Dust: An Elysian Tale a little bit with the style. I'd like to play it sometime.

Picked it up last night. Really liking it so far! Only finished the first dungeon.

 

[RisingStar]

Oh really?? Is it as good as it seems it is?

 

[Brad]

Yeah. It's a fun metroidvania, with beautiful art.

metroidvania

'Basically the reason I want to get this...I love me some metroidvanias!! <3

Best video game art ever. <3 Been watching Stacyplays play it. She got an early download code, but sadly she hasn't uploaded tp many episodes.

I saw this on XB1 the other day, my friend scrolled past it and dismissed it very quickly (along with rayman legends) for a Tom Clancy game. I about barfed in my mouth. But yeah this game looks cool I wish I had somewhere to play it. I do not want no TrashBox 1.

Tom Clancy game. I about barfed in my mouth.

Hey, Splinter Cell: Blacklist was pretty damn good. And, while it probably won't live up to a tenth of the hype, The Division, based entirely off of what we've seen, looks great!

I wouldn't have called it a metroidvania based on the trailer and what I've seen, but it is a fantastic looking game nontheless. Music reminds me of the original Okami.

I wouldnt call it Metroidvania either. Pretty much just side scroller, nothing in there screams either series.
The art looks cool but I'm not sure I want to play another game with a small human being guided by a monster via story book

 

[Silversea]

Well the problem is as gaming continues to be popular the amount of "original" ideas remaining is seriously fluctuating. I don't think you can dismiss a game just because it is a bit like another one (with exceptions which are obvious copies).

 

[oranges_ate_you]

I'm not dismissing it, I'm just saying you can pretty much tell what kind of game it is. There are plenty of good clone games.

Sounds interesting but what platform is it on?
