Ori is the first game I've payed full price for on Steam in a long time. The game is just beautiful looking at 2560x1440, as I figured it would be. One really nice surprise is just how great the music is. I can tell already that this game is going to be quite an experience.

Social · Mar 11, 2015

Played half an hour before bed. Stunning production quality! The music! The sound fx! The amazing visuals :O

Bluth54 · Mar 11, 2015

I've played the Steam version for about an hour and a half, amazing gaming with beautiful graphics. Loving it so far.

il Diavolo · Mar 11, 2015

Installing now. Can't wait to play it.

AEREC · Mar 11, 2015

IGN video review mentioned something about manually saving...does this have save anywhere?

Yeah there are save points but you can collect (pretty easy to find) energy that allows you to create a save point anywhere.

Seems like it, it's obviously limited though in terms of how often.

Loving the game so far, played about an hour or so. Art is beautiful and the music is outstanding.

Close... fucking.. Call. This game is so good.

Apparently most of the team that made this game never met each other before. Everyone worked from home? Wat

It also took about 4-5 years IIRC. Still, pretty dang impressive when you consider that they didn't have the pleasure of sitting right next to each other and having that "office" interaction

Lain · Mar 11, 2015

I quit the game because the screenshot button on Steam wasn't working. As I restarted the game it unlocked 2 achievements that I couldn't have achieved yet (Power Player and another about making 50 soul link while I only made 1 so far). So weird.

robotrock · Mar 11, 2015

Hour in, game is awesome so far. Looks absolutely stunning.

Noobcraft · Mar 11, 2015

Anyone else run into a glitch where they fall through the ground and die? It just started happening to me after I got double jump.

http://xboxdvr.com/Mr Noobcraft/7276d4e7-85d0-4fed-8d62-b3307fa882f2

Speed run strat? Lol

And it doesn't just happen there. It happened again elsewhere. It seems to have stopped now.

I mean Dust was basically made by one guy and that is probably standing next to this one as one of the most beautiful 2d games. Something to be said for games made by people passionate about them.

GluedOnBeard · Mar 11, 2015

As per everyone else, loving this game. Having played the prologue and now some of the start I do hope we get a section like the start again as it was beautifully pieced together. The art and music are some of the best I have witnessed in a game of this type as well.

Can't wait to play more!

schwabdizzle · Mar 11, 2015

Played for about an hour. I am in love with this game.

Aeana · Mar 11, 2015

I'm having a hard time remembering to save often enough. I keep losing so much progress!

R3TRODYCE · Mar 11, 2015

I feel like I've died a million times already but I'm enjoying the ride.

Kyuur · Mar 11, 2015

Holy crap the Ginso Tree

water escape sequence followed by that encounter.

. Q_Q My heart was pounding.

H3rTz DoNuT · Mar 11, 2015

Bought it, got to play it for around two hours, two hours later I'm still ...

Absolutely fantastic game so far

Really slow download here. 3 hours, 75%. And it still does not allow me to start the game... Thomas!

LiquidMetal14 · Mar 11, 2015

Can't wait to play this on PC.

thomasmahler · Mar 11, 2015

I'm a bit teary eyed now finally reading your impressions - thank you guys so much for your support

CrimsonEclipse · Mar 11, 2015

This game man, this fucking game hit the feels in the first 10 mins.

Apoleptica · Mar 11, 2015

What do you guys think about the motion blur option, keep it on or turn it off? I'm playing it on the xbone and the framerate does stutter occasionally, I wonder if this will be patched later on. Also the game is amazing, I am absolutely addicted.

You have to wait until they're automatically uploaded before you can share them. Be patient

Thank you for creating such a great game.

I hope Microsoft have signed you up for whatevers next already, Ori 2 or anything else.

Ascenion · Mar 11, 2015

That fucking prologue....goddamn it. This game, this game is just...there aren't words for what this game is. The English language lacks a word good enough to describe how amazing this game is.

Man I don't even like side scrollers. Like at all. But I'm loving this. Went in because of the graphics, stayed for everything else. Bravo man. And btw the soundtrack is beyond amazing.

Guys, I'm a 360 turned PS4 owner who is dying to buy an Xbox and Ori's making it hard for me to resist the urge.

What are your thoughts on the following:
1) wait for a X1 slim, hopefully released at E3, and pick up Ori, MCC, FH2 and wait for F6, or
2) buy it now

Ideally, the X1 slim would fit in my ET unit as the current X1 is just way too big, hence my delay on the purchase side of things.

If you can manage to wait at least until e3 in June then I would wait and see what is shown there just in case. I feel like this latest MCC bundle being just a regular black xbox one with a download code is a push by microsoft to get rid of old hardware.

Charlie0108 · Mar 11, 2015

What do you do at the bit where you're

following after the creature that stole the Water item and the the monsters that are like slugs that go into the ground first appear? Everywhere seems to be blocked off and I don't know where to go

RK9039 · Mar 11, 2015

This game is harder than Dark Souls.

I saved with one health left while being stuck between two prickly vines.

3 hours for 75%?! don't worry it's worth it.

In the UK they just slashed prices on a ton of console bundles (COD, SO, AC) to get ready for the Halo bundle so I don't think they're planning anything else just yet.

Corpekata · Mar 11, 2015

This game is a good way to wipe the grime off of a Hotline Miami 2 play session.

def sim · Mar 11, 2015

Figuring out a puzzle all by myself is actually satisfying. :O

BananasWithGuns · Mar 11, 2015

About an hour or so in, the game is incredible. It's pretty much everything I wanted it to be and more. It's absolutely stunning to look at which makes exploring every side path and hidden area even more enjoyable. The platforming and controls feel great. Just so damn impressed with what I've played so far and I feel like it's only going to keep getting better.

use what they are shooting at you to destroy items with a purple glow under them. One is a rock, next is some wood, then the wall. This will uncover another slug that you allow you to bait to destroy the next piece.

damn you time warner cable for never providing the internet speed that I pay for!

You have Time Warner too? I have a clocked 200 download speed but with the wireless connection its absolutely HORRIBLE..today was downloading the free PS4 games and it took FOUR HOURS To download them all..download speed was 2.2 mbps it was pathetic
Just purchased this game cant wait to play it tomorrow!!
Is it better to play a game like this on the internal drive or external or does it not matter

bounchfx · Mar 11, 2015

holy shit this is easily one of the best looking games ever. Fun too !

I was 20mins into the game and said to myself "this game isn't hard at all". Then I died like 7 times in a row.

Game is really awesome but I had to stop bcuz my XB1 is making some weird noise.

Majine · Mar 11, 2015

This game seems like an assault on the senses (in a good way). The visuals, the music...

Ricerocket · Mar 11, 2015

What interests me is that people are saying it's hard and that it is a metroidvania? If it really is, I am buying it right away on Steam.
