This game is an absolute masterpiece. I've already played both Ori games before, and I absolutely loved them, started Hollow Knight playthroughs a few times after that, never really going that far. I have now finally had the time to dive deep into this journey, and it was so worth it. The artstyle, the music, the gameplay, the bosses - just everything about this game is close to perfection to me. The difficulty gave a perfect balance between nerve-wrecking and extremely satisfying when a boss is finally beaten. I enjoyed exploring every last bit of this beautiful world after failing to beat the final boss a few times - becoming stronger and stronger and growing to almost perfect completion before even finishing the game itself. The FREE (!) DLCs were amazing as well, giving insanely interesting additions to the story, while also introducing new areas and quests that range from lore-bombshells to mental-destroying platforming and battling. There is SO MUCH more to say about this, but the last thing I want to state is that I just
CAN'T. WAIT. FOR. SILKSONG.
