Ori and the Blind Forest

[Cruci]

Has anybody played this yet? Burned through it this weekend myself, absolutely incredible from start to finish.

For anyone not in the know, it's a platformer in the same vein as the Metroid games with a Zelda feel to the storytelling (...and obnoxious voice soundeffects). The wheel isn't reinvented by any means, there won't be many surprises with the puzzles and mechanics if you're even a little bit familiar with the platform world. Ori just borrows heavily and executes perfectly. Puzzles can be a little bit challenging from time to time but never quite venture into sadistic territory; really great balance in my opinion. The controls on the Xbone are smooth as butter. It's the visuals and music are what put it over the top though. One of the most visually appealing games I've ever played. If you get a chance, go for it! If you've already tried what did you fellas (and lady fellas) think? Solidly in my top 5 ever.

I thought I posted about this a while back, but couldn't find the post so maybe I didn't.

I bought it after watching some streamers play it. Pretty sure I've seen the entire game even though I haven't played it myself yet, and I agree it's pretty spectacular. Fantastic story, visuals, and music. Really hits you with the feels.

I had a feeling that it was mentioned here also but the search came back empty for me.

Haha yea, the feels are pretty overwhelming. The story alone was great but the constant Sigur Ros jams in the background makes for hypothalamus overload!

Saw this in my Steam Queue a little bit ago, but didn't give it much thought...Adding to my wishlist in hopes I can get to it when time permits
