Ori, as a Metroidvania and platformer, does the main things you want out of these types of games. You get new abilities that allows you to move around the world in new ways which feels satisfying and the movement itself feels really good. It's also very gorgeous to look at. I was enjoying it quite a bit more at the start though. The combat, which admittedly isn't a massive portion of the game, involves firing a bunch of orbs at enemies which feels tedious and wore me down more and more as the game went on. That may be partly my fault as I didn't develop the combat ability tree that much but the utility tree which focuses on movement and survival and the efficiency tree which focuses on abilities that serve exploration were more attractive to me. Still very much worth a playthrough.
