![]() Ori’s world is similar to the old Metroid and Castlevania games. All of these abilities play crucial roles in Ori’s adventure, and you have no choice but to master each and every one of them. But in time, he gains several abilities which allow him to reach new heights, dash through the air, glide, stomp, and fire electric and charged bolts at enemies. When he sets out, Ori can merely run and jump. Ori, a glowing spirit like creature, is spared and set on a mission to restore the light to the forest by collecting a handful of elements. When suddenly the “light” is taken from the forest, and everything begins to wilt and die. We’re introduced to this pair of adorable characters, who demonstrate selflessness and love for one another in a gorgeous forest landscape. The first ten minutes of the game pull at the old heart-strings similar to Pixar’s film, Up. Surprisingly, Ori and the Blind Forest not only exceeded every expectation I had, but proved to be one of the most challenging 2D platformers I’ve played. ![]() Even if it ended up only being something beautiful to experience, I was down for that. Like most, I had succumb to the beautiful art, orchestral score, and loving bond between the two characters shown in the trailer. ![]() Perhaps one of the biggest surprises from E3 2014, was the charming announcement trailer for Ori and the Blind Forest.
