Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

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.

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

Great popular game that all the kids wanted, and it didnt disappoint

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.

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.

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.

some of the controls are hard to work with, but overall this is a very fun game to play. it is challenging but in a way that makes it fun to play

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

A great package (comes with art cards and a previously unreleased soundtrack) of and already excellent game! The hand drawn visuals coupled with incredible set pieces and movement make this a must play for any platformer or Mertroidvania fan! Short enough to feel like you got your money's worth without it dragging on for too long. Performs beautifully on Switch (1080P, 60FPS) as well.

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

Awesome game awesome Graphics awesome music definitely worth it!

Excellent game. I would highly recommend this game. Going through the first few areas already has been very fun and some parts of the levels are quite challenging. I like the puzzle aspect of the game, but the storyline is very heart warming and definitely adds to the gameplay experience.

amazing game. If you love side-scrolling platformers this is the game for you. Looks great with its hand-drawn graphics and runs at a smooth 60fps. It's amazing it runs so well on the switch. I can't recommend this game enough to anyone.

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!

A great platformer, gorgeous graphics as well. I bought on series x as well for the 120fps, but being able to take it portable is nice as well.

Wonderful metroidvania style platformer. Excellent graphics and gameplay. Was worried about performance on the switch, but I have yet to have any issues.

game play similar to Hollow Knight...my daughter loved that game ,and liked this one too...very intense action,you need good skills to play this game well
