very funny, great characters, intriguing story, amazing art direction, just overflowing with creativity all around. by those metrics, this would be a game i absolutely adore, and while i did really like it, the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.
the platforming is serviceable at first but the longer you progress, the more you notice its faults and get frustrated with it; also, while some of the levels are amazing to play and creative, many others are repetitive and tedious.
really wish i would've liked this game more, because there's so much here i loved but the gameplay really hurts it :(

first of all, i want to reiterate what everyone says about this game and that is that it's beautiful!! the visuals and soundtrack in this are gorgeousss. now, the game starts off slowish and the platforming is tedious with how limited and floaty ori's movement is at the beginning but once you get enough abilities it becomes such a joy to move through this world. even then, there are some later gameplay sequences that were geniunely frustrating because of how much they depended on random attacks and you memorizing them. the story is very touching though i wish it got told a bit differently because those random narrator segments thrown here and there had me a bit lost at times ngl. all in all, very cute great game, i'm not that into metroidvania games but this was a nice way to ease myself into them since it's very linear in spite of its genre. hope to play the sequel soon (i say knowing it'll take me like five years to get to it) :-)
