Verdict: "It's difficult to fault a game like Ori and the Blind Forest because it somehow manages to so effortlessly pull off what other games try and fail at, and it does so with an exquisite execution. Play Ori if you're the kind of person who enjoys a good story, a good side-scroller, some solid metroidvania mechanics and a hearty amount of challenge. Play Ori if you're... basically anyone who enjoys games. Just play Ori already."
The Ori and the Blind Forest studio CEO has asked the fans to purchase the game instead to completely support it.
I bought Ori for Switch because it's on GP and wanted to be able to play it on the go. That being said, at 120fps and 4K on Series X, that is the way to play.
Anyone who wanted Ori has most likely already bought it. The game is not going to sell significantly anymore but GP will offer free exposure so that when Ori 3 comes out people may be willing to buy. If your game is good enough people will support in even if they can get it on a subscription. I still buy plenty of games that are available on GP and I also have played plenty of games that I would not have played thanks to GP. Bottom line is this, make a product people want and they will buy it.
These are some of the greatest games similar to Blasphemous to play while waiting for the much-anticipated Blasphemous 2.
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
