Ori and the Blind Forest review: A breathtaking (and tough) Xbox One exclusive game
Many gamers would agree that the Xbox One has a strong lineup of exclusive games, especially now that Halo: the Master Chief Collection‘s multiplayer matchmaking finally works. However, Microsoft doesn’t have a lot of new retail exclusives lined up for the first half of this year other than the already-released ScreamRide. Thus, it falls on downloadable exclusive titles like Ori and the Blind to represent the gaming possibilities that only Xbox One can bring.
Developed by Moon Studios and published by Microsoft, Ori and the Blind Forest is an exploration-focused action-platformer, also referred to as a Metroidvania game. With stunning and colorful visuals, a massive world to explore, and lots of upgrades and secrets to find, platforming fans will find lots to love in Ori. But you’ll want to bring your gaming skills, as the Blind Forest is more challenging than most of its genre brethren.
