Ori and the Blind Forest
- Thread starter The Wolf King
- Start date
Was that On just Steam or the Xbox too? I was going to do that this afternoon and it still says unavilable. And now when I checked it isn't even on the service. Maybe they are getting it ready.
Early reviews looking good! 8.5 on IGN, and 3 95s so far, including these 2:

Edit: also a 90 from Polygon:

@aegies: between chars/environments, ori and the blind forest legit has the best "2D" animation i've ever seen in a game. nothing else comes close.
@Andrew_Reiner: I can't say enough about Ori and the Blind Forest. The year's first great release.

IGN Gave it an 8.5 - Yet, there only cons seem to be no post credit continuation and uneven difficulty. The former is typical of games and the latter makes me believe he just died a lot 
90 on metacritic! Congrats to the devs.

Kotaku i believe, said it was a tad short. How odd...the developer recently said it took their playtesters 10 hours or even more if you went for collectables. That's not what i'd call short. Maye Kotaku rushed.
I just checked...it STILL can't be preloaded.

If 12-15 hours is a tad short, then what is 5 hours.
Guess its good they need to reach real deep for find negatives.
So I will prepare myself for probably the inevitable 1000 death marathon. Works for me! I suck and I am proud!

Exactly, crazy Kotaku. 12-25 hours is perfect. Awesome. Many similar games are not even 5 hours, so i honestly do not get this complaint, LMAO.

I'm guessing that they really mean that it ended before they wanted it to end.

It's funny reading some of these reviews and seeing them complain about it being too hard, and too short.
I saw a tweet that said 5 pm...I think. Not sure why they would wait? I'll keep checking.

Could be it, but mention it then. Ah well.
Some funny folks on GAF by the way. Saying congrats to Xbox One for their first killer app. First of all that's wrong, but ok...someone replied and said...it's also for PC though. Sigh..........
It's wrong though, cause they dismiss Sunset Overdrive and FH2, which in my opinion are both very very worth it, great games. SO actually a huge surprise.
Your problem, reading neogaf. Do yourself a favour and drop that turd site like a bad habit.
The thing is, i go there for the latest updates and i have to admit...as soon as there is some real news or very interesting rumor, it comes from there. At the same time, E3 shows partly get ruined thanks to those rumors and leaks.
So the game is getting a 90 average on Metacritic, is 1080p and 60fps, killer sound track, awesome game play, is 15-25 hours long, challenging, looks amazing, doesn't have black bars, costs $20.00...and is console exclusive on Xbox One?
