Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a must have for the Nintendo Switch collection. One of the most beautiful games ever. Love the gameplay. Played this as a digital game and was glad to see that a physical copy became available for purchase. Also bought the sequel. However, not you can purchase a physical set that has both games in one! Still happy to have my 2 games.

This game is addicting and so much fun! I’d highly recommend it to teens and adults. I absolutely love it and I’m looking forward to purchasing the second game.

Probably the one of the best games i have ever played. Wanted to experience it on the go.

My son loves this game. He’s on it for hours. He says the graphics are great

The Positives: + Absolutely beautiful visuals that also run beautifully + Tight, satisfying controls + Very enjoyable level design + Wonderful soundtrack + Story that more or less hits the right balance between show and tell The Drawbacks: - Occasionally hard to discern some hazards in the level - Combat with enemies is quite fine honestly, but not exactly genre leading - Can encounter the occasional glitch Overview: Ori and the Blind Forest is an unlikely port to the Switch due to being owned by Microsoft, but one that is appreciated and highly enjoyable! One of the best ports to the Switch and a pretty darn great game.

After hearing everyone praise this game for years I decided to try it. First off, the Switch version runs super smooth which still surprised me despite watching tons of performance breakdowns on YouTube. Anyways, the gameplay felt fresh and the visuals were gorgeous. The story for me was emotional in parts but in others I didn’t feel much when I was “supposed to”. I didn’t totally love the save feature, part of it being my fault because I would forget to save and then die and have to redo a long section. By far the most frustrating part of the game for me was the escape sequences. Though the idea of them is cool I felt they were too punishing in the sense, there is no way you could just power through it on your first try. I couldn’t just use my reflexes to get through it, I had to rely on trial and error. So after the 30th time and several breaks later I’d get through it but instead of feeling relief from the urgency I just felt angry. The controls were really tight but I felt that because kids nowadays play platformers with the analog stick the dpad got left by the wayside. A lot of the platforming involves this slingshot type of system that when you do it you need to point diagonally to get to higher ground. Well with the Switch’s dpad a lot of the time pointing at 3oclock either gave the game an input of just UP or Right, so that was frustrating. The soundtrack was phenomenal and was very Disney like. All in all it was a good time but it wasn’t without some headaches.

I've had eye on this for years since it released on other platforms. When I finally decided to buy it, I found out about physical copies coming and glad I waited. The art, music, and story are amazing. It's emotional and endearing while being fun and challenging at the same time. This is one i conversely recommend to anyone, but Metroidvania fans should definitely add it to their collections

Great game, so happy this came over to the Switch. Solid action platforming, high to moderate difficulty. The graphics and music are wonderful.

One of the better games live played in some time. Gameplay, story and soundtrack was great.

Just a beautiful game. Challenging but not too impossible. Visually stunning and music that fits perfectly make this a great game.

Great game! Ori 1 and 2 are both great! Addictive 2D sidescrolling action!

The gameplay, story and music are all fantastic ! Must play for fans of metroidvania games.

Soo pretty. So beautiful. Great visuals. Great music. Great story. One of my favorite games.

I bought this on Xbox, on Steam, and I bought it again on Switch because that means I can bring it with me wherever I go. The music and art style is absolutely top notch. It’s such an eye candy and feels like watch an Pixar movie except you’re in control of the protagonist. The switch version kept the built-in achievement system as well so good luck getting through the one life mode.

Such a great game, I got these 2 games together at the same time and got a discount for buying them, not sure if the sale it is still applicable or not, well the game runs well, nothing compared to the original Xbox version, but it is still ok. The story is really good, I really recommend this game to any videogamer out there, the story might make you shed a tear, it is really a good story.

This game is great and it works so well on the Nintendo Switch. I first played this one the Xbox One. But this is the Definitive Edition and there's no better way to experience this game. The previous version had some 100% completion enders but this version fixes all of that. Stunningly beautiful graphics, great controls and the physical version is worth a few extra bucks. Get this now!

I actually bought & played Ori and the Will of the Wisps first. I was so blown away I wanted to return to the same world. So I bought Blind Forest and was not disappointed. The controls are better in Wisps but the story here is outstanding.

What an amazing 2-d Metroidvania platform! Ori and the Blind Forest will leave you Mesmerized in terms of color, design, and story. It’s even more amazing now that it’s a physical copy on the go on the Nintendo Switch.

First class game design. Everything about this game is special. Graphics are beautiful, gameplay is tight and music is ethereal. You will not be disappointed with this game.

I have been waiting ages for this game to be released on the Nintendo Switch. It’s finally here, the graphics and soundtrack are both amazing. The story is a dream!!! 5 Stars!
