Ori and the Blind Forest is an absolutely stunningly beautiful both in aesthetics and it's story. Without spoilers, Ori and the Blind Forest is a 2D platformer/metroidvania esque game. Though not extremely difficult, the game is just challenging enough that you feel enticed to continue to see that next step, but not just dragging your feet to the next part.

I never felt completely overwhelmed with what I had to do, or where I had to go and even if I needed to backtrack. Though the game isn't long (I beat it in just about 7 hours.) the time just simply perfect for me. It didn't outstay it's welcome nor end so abruptly I felt robbed.

My only real critisism with the game is, with how beautiful it is the game can be distracting at certain hectic moments making it difficult to tell where Ori is, or dying to things you couldn't anticipate coming making certain sections feel more like a trial and error, rather then a swift reaction.

Such a minor problem, as those moments are meant to be difficult, challenging and often are the end of a portion. Highly recommend if you enjoy platformers and having your heart-strings tugged upon.
