Ori and the Blind Forest is a mixed genre game with a strong platforming focus with light RPG elements all set within Nibel, a beautiful atmospheric world. Created by Moon Studios, an independent studio with developers located all around the world, Ori and the Blind Forest tells the story of a hero who must journey to find courage and confront a dark nemesis to save his home. The young orphan is destined for heroics through a visually-stunning action-platformer crafted by the talented people at Moon Studios for Xbox One and PC.
Featuring hand-painted artwork, meticulously-animated character performances and a fully orchestrated score, Ori and the Blind Forest explores a deeply, emotional story and love, sacrifice and the hope that exists in each and every single one of us.
No Rest For The Wicked is a brand new action-RPG from Moon Studios, the team behind the Ori titles. While this new adventure can be experienced solo, a quick look at gameplay reveals how it was created with multiplayer gameplay in mind.
This has resulted in Moon Studios constantly getting the question “can I play No Rest For The Wicked offline?,” to which the answer is thankfully and unequivocally: yes.
Good.
I look at this game’s screenshots & I’m thinking this is one of those games where the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" applies.
I’ll be watching closely :)
Ori Games have now sold over a staggering 10 million copies since their release, as confirmed by the CEO of Moon Studios in a new tweet.
This statement seems like damage control after the company's recent comments about not benefiting from the games being on GP.
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.
It's a beautiful game that looks very much like Rayman Origins. Tomorrow will be one fun day.
Another perfect score. Great job on a great game.
It's unanimous across the board that reviewers and critics love this game, from the visuals, atmosphere all the way down to what is the most important, gameplay.
"Remember the first time you played Zelda or Metroid when you were a child? We hope that years from now people will also remember the first time they got to play Ori and the Blind Forest."
When you have a company that puts out statements like this then you know they are truly passionate about gameplay core mechanics.
Congrats to Moon Studios, the four years it took them to make this game is paying off big time.
This game is scoring extremely well and for the gullible ones who only buy through reviews, here's your next buy. As for me, if I had an XBO, I'd definitely be buying ( I will later this year.) Not because of reviews, but because I liked what I saw/ seen. So here's hoping the rest of the Xbox community picks it up.
