Review: Ori and The Blind Forest - The true face of the shadow (XONE / X360 / PC)

I don't know where to start talking about this game broke inside me and challenged me to the last few seconds trying to achieve the goal. Well, Ori and The Blind Florest is a platform style game, which resembles the old Marios, in order to draw your attention any way, and make sure it will get as soon as you enter the game, whether it be in Xbox One or PC, you'll come face to face with an extremely beautiful music and soothing and seconds later a brilliant art direction - honestly, the graphic of the game is flawless, cade detail, every flower, every color the landscape show is amazing. The game's soundtrack takes you to a world in which you will miss that ends it.

What impresses me most in the game is its soundtrack and its visual effects, the gameplay forget it. At first, there is not much difficulty; but with the passage of time and the range of skills you gain, you have to remember all the commands, because the game forces you to it. I even remember a little math tests, you have some ways to get a high score in this test, but has almost certainly it will have to use much of the knowledge seen before mind, it is that the game explores. My score for this game, perhaps, to some eyes, can be a bit exaggerated, but it is not.

In the early scenes we have introduction to the main plot; which is simply brilliant, poetic and sentimental, the Ori protagonist is taken care of by Naru and over time things are getting a problem either to the point of sacrificing himself to save the Ori. At that time we already face with a combination barely see in some games: soundtrack, special effects and plot all combining, weaving together. After these events you have no control is about to leave for their journey.

We ran into a mixture of RPG and platform, my suggestion is to explore all before proceeding to the main quest. It might not even have the necessary skill - but do not worry, when you can get it, and must return. If you want to have high hit points and "souls." Taking the opportunity to talk about these "souls": they serve to save the game at any given time, I'm not remembering exactly which games use this type of system, but who is a fan of Tomb Raider and have played Tomb Raider III should remember the damn crystals ! Well, that's a big question at the beginning of the game, save where to save and look as soon as possible by blue spheres that are missed by the map, if you follow my advice in the middle of the game should not have much trouble for saving your progress.

With the passage of gambling the game itself begins to challenge you to look for things for their own survival in the future and to continue; what I liked most of it was exactly the challenge that imposes for the player. This at first may seem extremely boring, but once you pass that "accursed share" you end up happy to spend it.

Still talking about the exciting moment of the game, the very tests your patience in puzzles, some are short but very resourceful, they explore the ability of the Ori, die in the game is not like some others, it's normal, I've played for the first time surpassed the track 400 deaths.

The game's cutscenes are incredibly detailed and beautiful, no voices, only by gesture and facial animation realize what the characters are feeling and what they want to pass to us, particularly reminded me of my childhood playing some older games and even some drawings. Ori and The Bling Florest certainly is a game that anyone should play platform independent.

My platform of choice was the PC; more specifically, a Ativ Book 2 - had no problems with the bass performance beyond the loss of a few frames per second for animations or more demanding scenarios. Also did not find any bug or glitch during my 10 hours of play; it could have been considerably higher if I had returned to complete 100% before it entered the final stretch of the game.

The final mission is on Mount Horu, the spiritual realm that comes Ori tells the player that is no way to return, if you have something to collect it is recommended to come back and do it before proceeding.

Deepening the feelings given by the game, the Ori, the game's protagonist is somewhat fragile at the beginning, it resembles a cat, (including a cat from a autor this blog) despite having more features of a fox, and remember somewhat Stitch from another angle. As companion, Ori has a kind of spiritual realm that guides him in all missions besides being your defense, you use the mouse to attack enemies, there are many and you can even use them as "jump" rather than kill.

Naru is like a father / mother to Ori, brotherly love or maternal is left explicit at the beginning of the game ...

Kuro the villain of the game and will not talk much about why she will lose the grace, just say it's a very exciting story.

Ori and The Blind Florest is a game that everyone should play, will not regret any time spent in the game so clear that not everyone likes the way the game is, but the plot, the soundtrack and special effects They will catch your attention enough to stand firm in the game and resets it.
