Ori and the Blind Forest is a beautiful game. But no matter how awesome it looks, it still has it's really big problems...

I had my problems with motivating myself for this because the game is bad balanced a.f.

In the beginning you have no abilities at all and you are going to die in no time. One hit will be enough and if you forgot to safe (which costs energy that is very limited in the beginning) you have to play the whole thing again. Then you die again and you have to do the whole thing again... Then you die and... see what I mean?

But in time you will get power ups and abilities that help a lot and suddenly you feel invincible. The further you come the truer this is. Because you get stronger and especially faster. The enemies improve only slightly. So in the end it is mostly a rush trough already known levels with better abilities.

But on the other hand: The abilities is what makes this platformer so great. You can dash, high jump, break walls, throw enemies and so on. It really gets complex at some point and I find this interesting.

About Soundtrack and Setting isn't much to say anymore, they both are stunning. The controls are very smooth and the many different moves give you the chance to play it your way.

Only contra: It is poorly balanced which can be very frustrating, especially in the beginning.
