    I'm very much looking forward to this. Ori and the Blind Forest was absolutely splendid, and I'm excited to see how they iterate on the formula.

      Ditto. From my review of the original: p.s. Ori 2 will be on Xbox Game Pass for PC on Mar 11. So you can play it for $5 there.

      Ditto. From my review of the original:

      A truly Fantastic game with beautiful music, heart-rending story and gorgeous scenery; It felt like playing a Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli movie. The controls are tight & intuitive, movement is fluid & dynamic and the game mechanics are straightfoward, making exploration a joy... so much so I even 100%ed the game and had fun while doing it, unlike a lot of other games where 100%ing feels like a chore. Highly recommended!

    With Hollow Knight: Silksong coming out soon as well, I'm so happy that metroidvania is going strong, it's one of my favourite genres.
