What got me into metro games.

Reasonable price ($4.99), good music, interesting storyline, but no difficulty selector and some of those levels take hours and hours to get past. In my opinion, there are better games to spend your money and time on.

the game is a solid example of a great metriodvania.

Great platformer. The combat is kind of weak and repetitive, but chaining together moves while platforming is great. Especially after all of the skills are unlocked, toward the end of the game is where the platforming truly shines. The game also does a great job on building upon the mechanics as the world opens up. Beautiful graphics, great soundtrack, and a nice story. Highly recommend if you're into platformers.

This was a really fun platformer that really soars when you unlock the movement abilities. The animation is unique and full of character, pairing with a powerful soundtrack that gives this game a special atmosphere. The combat is a bit weak, not terrible but I am looking forward to see how they improve on this in the sequel. The story is interesting and easily digestible with there being no true dialogue. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a really strong platformer with a lot of heart.

Ori is a stunningly beautiful metroidvania that holds a special place in my heart. Every single location in this game is gorgeous. The story is simple, but powerful, and is really elevated by the wonderful art direction. I got a bit emotional at times just because it's conveyed so well... and honestly because Ori is just too precious (─‿‿─) ♡

There are so many cool little details waiting to be discovered by you. There are a few easter eggs/subtle references to other games spread throughout the world. The way Ori moves around is a delight. Combining that with abilities you acquire, movement and exploration is rewarding, and exciting. The motif that reoccurs in the music is so memorable, and honestly just puts a smile on my face :3

It's one of my favorite games of all time, and it definitely deserves all the love it receives! <3

one of the prettiest games i ever played, returned to it after playing a bit in 2016 and i enjoyed every second

Ori is a beautiful game and definetly has a lot of heart put into it. I definetly reccomend that you try it if you enjoy more challenging platformers.

Game is pretty short, took me rougly 6 hours.
8/10

beautiful art work and gentle game play

It's a fun platform game, where the difficulty curve does increase as you progress unless you've unlocked the right skills like in the "Sands of Time" quadrilogy. Ubisoft's classic Prince of Persia series.

Not the best combat but i liked the gameplay and the story telling

(NOTE: Please disregard my playtime on this one. I have played and completed the Definitive Edition of the same game, but just wanted to place this review here in case it is useful to anyone. Cheers!)

A wonderful little game with charming graphics, tight controls and a simple but effective story. i should warn anyone who is playing though that while the aesthetic of Ori looks cozy and adorable, the game is far from a "chill" experience. It requires fast reflexes and precise platforming. That being said, it is a gem in what it seeks to achieve.

While the art style of Ori is the star of the show, the level design and ability mechanics keep things interesting as well. The metroidvania aspect of the game also means that those who like being completionists can get even more playtime out of the game by going back to old regions and discovering secret locations or areas that were earlier locked. I also enjoyed the fact that there is no real spoken language in the game, and even if you don't read the little text that they do show on-screen, the story is strongly portrayed just through visuals.

The only parts that frustrated me a little were the "escape" sequences where you are expected get through an entire section at once without making any mistakes. These portions tend to be more 'trial and error' than puzzle or skill based, but they are few and far between, so it is forgivable.

BEAUTIFUL GAME <3

Very peaceful

Visually stunning! Pure pleasure for your senses.

i played and finished a long time ago when i was a kid. i remember playing nonstop until i finished, and then didn't touch it again for years. now there's achievements, and steam has forgotten the hours i put in. i came back to it a few days ago, and i forgot how much i loved the graphics. ori's animations along with responsive controls make him feel really satisfying to play. the storyline with kuro is a bit confusing, but to be honest i've always been much too focused on collecting everything to notice. most of the puzzles make sense, with a few exceptions (only because i can't find what i need to solve them, not because they're too hard, thankfully). it's also very difficult to get lost, as not only do all of the environments feel unique, but the way they're mapped out (alongside, well, the map) make it very easy to tell where i am and where to find things i saw before.

Nice

Ori is me beloved <33

Gorgeous, obviously. Satisfying even just to run around. Both Oris are top tier metroidvanias.
