Well.
Hm.
That was... a sequel to Ori & The Blind Forest, all right.
Okay look, the game's not BAD, and there are plenty of things it does great! It's just... too generic to me. Everything unique and snappy about Blind Forest feels either watered down, stuck into a map that's too big to feel like it has impact, or not here at all. And in its place, it just feels like it wants to be Hollow Knight. And despite my personal feelings on Hollow Knight, I know everyone loves it, that's not a bad thing to be. But it also saps away identity.
The fact that it's still walking away with an 8/10 proves just how stellar everything else was, given this.
