Ori and the Blind Forest is an absolutely beautiful game, filled with a roller coaster of emotions, so many beautiful environments. I have never found any other game that has left me in tears after its first 10 minutes, and the game remains one of the most beautiful that I have ever played. The colors, lighting, and atmosphere are incredibly immersive and stunning, and the story is one of great emotion.
You play as Ori, a small and young orphan who has been adopted by a loving character named Naru, who becomes his caretaker, friend, and mother. They spend time relaxing together in the forest and eating its delicious fruits together, playing games, and enjoying their life, until, a catastrophic event begins to occur - one which caused the loss of many lives. Ori must help heal the forest and bring back its power and life.
This sequence is one of the most emotional moments I've seen in a game, and quite honestly, I can't watch it without crying. The beauty of Naru and Ori playing together and being so happy was something that brought me numerous smiles, seeing them with such joy. Playing as Ori, the desire to save the forest is overwhelmingly strong.
Throughout the game, you encounter and traverse through numerous areas of the forest, many covered in thorns and decay, but some life remains, from its forests, rivers, large hills, and areas both dark and light. You must defend yourself from creatures that attempt to attack you, and you must find a way to restore the forest and its life.
The game is absolutely incredible, as are the visuals, environments, the emotion, the details, and everything about it. My only complaint is that the game can become difficult... VERY difficult, at times.
Gareth Coker's soundtrack for Ori and the Blind Forest is also such an absolutely beautiful addition to the game. The collection of soundtrack still remains to be the most powerful and emotional soundtrack of any game that I've ever heard in my life. Each song is a beautiful mixture of incredible, touching, emotional, inspiring, and wondrous sounds, vocals, and instruments. The environments of the soundtrack fit the game perfectly, to a T, and further strengthen the immense beauty of this game.
Never has any game soundtrack had my tears flow, my heart race, and ears in awe, and my mind in ecstasy. I listen to it regularly, and still, it brings me so much emotion no matter how many times I listen to it.
The gameplay is really difficult, and I had kind of a hard time with it sometimes, but I still absolutely love it!
I couldn't recommend this game or its art or soundtrack enough. <3
