About the game

A 2D Metroidvania action game in which Ori, a forest spirit, adventures through a new land in search of a friend. The sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest, it offers more varied combat and ability combinations. The controls, chaining jumps and dashes to move as if flying, feel excellent. Its moving story and orchestral music are major strengths.

Why we recommend it

Painterly backgrounds, music and fluid movement come together so beautifully that just watching it is breathtaking.

Good for — Great for: anyone who wants an action adventure with beautiful graphics and an emotional story
