Ori and the Blind Forest
10 years ago
Once again I've escaped from Psymon long enough to write some stuff...
As furries, you've more than likely already heard of/played/seen it but if you haven't already, do yourself a favor and purchase this game.
The visuals are beautiful, the music is enchanting and the story is an emotional punch to the gut(in a good way).
Where most games take an average of 10min for gamers to become invested, Ori and the Blind Forest sets the record at 3min. 3min was all it took for me to become emotionally invested in the characters and want to see Ori succeed in his quest.
Gameplay is 2D sidescroller, very Metroidvania in which there are a ton of upper and lower areas and so much backtracking. Completing 1 quest opens new areas in previously explored places so there's always something to go back and look for. The controls are pretty spot on, Ori moves and reacts in time with your button pushing very well.
The difficulty spikes pretty quickly so make sure you're platforming skills are at their best. Also the game does not auto save so it is up to you to remember to save at the Spirit Well or drop a Spirit Link, this game will not hold your hand for you.
Ori and the Blind Forest is also pretty short, I beat it the same day I purchased it but that is not a complaint. When I did beat the game I felt completely satisfied; my quest was complete, the day was saved and I had no feelings longing for more...ok I did want to play it all over again but that doesn't count.
It is available for PC, Xbox One and later this year Xbox 360.
Again, do yourself a favor and purchase this game. You will not regret it.

Seriously good game. The only problems I had with it were with the ending (Which I am not getting into due to spoilers)
