Ori and the Blind Forest is a platform-adventure Metroidvania video game developed by Moon Studios and published by Microsoft Studios. The game was released for Windows and Xbox One in March 2015, and for Nintendo Switch in September 2019. Players assume control of Ori, a small white spirit, and Sein, the "light and eyes" of the Forest's Spirit Tree. Players are tasked to move between platforms and solve puzzles. The game features a save system called "Soul Links", which allows players to save their progress at will with limited resources, and an upgrade system that allows players to strengthen Ori's skills and abilities.
Runs well on modern hardware.

What an awesome game! Great story, beautiful art, fun gameplay, and an amazing soundtrack. What more could you want? I also liked all the behind-the-scenes and promotional content. It was really cool to see. The only issue I had was that the 4K resolution wouldn't stick, so I had to enable the High DPI scaling override under the Compatibility tab in the game's .exe properties. Overall, it was a great experience, and I love how cinematic it felt. It's definitely one of the better platformers I've played. Highly recommended. 👍

Music is amazing, The Design is amazing, gameplay is awesome. Honestly there are so many things great with this game and the story is so touching.
