Ori and the Blind Forest (2015) - Game Review

Ori And The Blind Forest, what a wonderful and beautiful game. Playing this game reminded me of the best part of a few other games: from the jumpin g mechanics cl assic side-scrollers , to the upgrades that unlock areas you can see but can't quite get to like Zelda and Darksiders, to the deeply moving story and themes like The Last of Us. It was truly a pleasure and one of my favorite platform games for the Xbox One! From the moment the game starts, you can see that there are no spoken words in the game. Much of the story that is told is done so from a visual or audio perspective. There are also text boxes when needed. The different areas of this game are just stunning to see and play through. But even as great as it is, the sounds may even be better. The music is nothing short of fabulous, and very moving. It fits the situation whatever is going on in the game, whether it is sad, exciting, or scary. It's actually so good I have listened to it occasionall...
