Our take on the Ori and the Blind Forest Nintendo Switch

Ori and the Blind Forest is a hand-painted Metroidvania platformer from Moon Studios, published on Switch by Xbox Game Studios. You guide a small spirit through a forest that opens up as you earn new abilities, with a strong soundtrack and a wordless story. It is a single-player game with no offline co-op, so it suits players who like exploration and precise platforming rather than multiplayer. Its sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, adds combat depth and side quests, but this first game is tighter and shorter.
