Ori and Blind Forest
When Ori and the Blind Forest released last year, many disclaimed it as an easy platformer because of its child-like visuals. However, what lay underneath the beautiful watercolored visuals was one of the toughest platformers in recent years with some really tricky jumps and a punishing save system if you didn’t remember to drop checkpoints every so often.
Moon Studios have something special with Ori. With an orchestral score as beautiful as the visuals, a substantial upgrade system, and tricky gameplay, it became a smash hit for the Xbox One and PC. Considering the game is receiving a definitive edition, it’s pretty safe to say the game sold well enough to warrant a sequel.
It would be a shame for Moon Studios to not carry on and explore the gorgeous forest that Ori adventured through. Although what form the story could take is uncertain, as a simple retread doesn’t seem like the right fit for the characters and their world.
