Ori The Collection (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

Being a collector ain't cheap. @valkian24 yeah… I'd figure, If I don't like it anymore, surely someone else will buy it from me? I was too tempted… The game is a platformer at heart, so this doesn't hurt it much, but it's a weird addition. It's the sort of combat I'd expect to find a phone game. the_beaver People keep calling them masterpieces... and I agree on the art style being super rich, and the port being excellent... also the gameplay seems really solid from the brief time I’ve spent with the original demo... but are they really THAT fun? Masterpieces? I honestly want to know. I’m only sort of into the art, so I’m hoping that there is some seriously satisfying and creative platforming to be has here as well... and also hoping the story isn’t too weird and and trying to be all sentimental deep when it’s such weird unrelatable, kind of abstract world... Amazing game I enjoyed on Xbox One. Won't double dip, but I strongly suggest people to try it out on Switch if they don't have an Xbox One (or prefer portable play). A great experience indeed. You're a failed alchemic experiment who has the desire to discover what's going on in the world. You only get one shot to complete a run, and if you die, you'll start over from the beginning.

It’s up there with DKC Tropical Freeze as one of the greatest platformers of all time, and up there with Hollow Knight as one of the best metroidvanias of the modern era, and up there with any number of masterpieces as an all around incredible game that is sure to sit somewhere in my top 10 all time list. Nonetheless I feel I should give it another chance before the standard edition is released to see whether it is worth purchasing. Upgrade your gear as you keep trying to find the cause behind the strange earthquakes that have started up. Be wary, as there's danger to be found everywhere.

There's plenty of fun uplifting games for me; from just about everything Nintendo makes to Dragon Quest to Ni No Kuni. Diversity is a good thing! sj33 My scoring is a bit different than most peoples, since I rate certain aspects of a game separately. The major score is usually only based on gameplay. Technical defects only impact the score if it impacts gameplay. (Like for instance in Link's Awakening (Switch version), I gave that an 8.7) I also reduce the score if the intended style isn't achieved, since I do count that as gameplay. BAN I'm curious why you find this depressing? While I'm only about halfway through, the game seems rather bright outside of... that opening.

neogyo Very true. And to be honest, that’s one of the main reasons I’m still a Nintendo fan after ~30 years. Their games are excellent and well made, but also I think they’re probably the only large developer left that considers bringing joy to their customers through their games to be a valid chief pursuit at this point.This must-play collection tells the complete tale of Ori, a young orphan destined for heroics, through a visually stunning action-platformer crafted by Moon Studios. Still, I don't get why companies are prone to launching collector's edition now, standard physical later. Probably just getting the impulse buyers going. There was a time when a platform holder publishing games for a rival format would have been completely unheard of. Unthinkable, even! Yet, a bizarre chain of events has seen Microsoft Studios release a handful of games for our beloved Switch, including the likes of Minecraft and, surprisingly, even Cuphead. While Microsoft has since played down the possibility of future titles making the leap, we’re delighted to see that 2015’s acclaimed Ori and the Blind Forest has made the journey to Nintendo’s hybrid device. Let’s see if it has survived the trip. I do not enjoy Metroidvanias, and unfortunately I didn’t enjoy the little bit I played of this either. Which is a shame, because the story and art style looks amazing.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps Review - IGN Ori and the Will of the Wisps Review - IGN

I'm still excited to try the Ori demo, the color palette is lighter than Hollow Knight, so I'm hopeful, b/c it sure is beautiful. Loving Will of the Wisps even more than the original, though I have had 2 game crashes and a time when I warped and then couldn't move the character without exiting to the main menu. About 5 hours played. I didn't have any crashes with the original on Switch. cyrus_zuo I have to agree with you! Especially the level of darkness new games are able to reach. Resident Evil has come a long way. I can’t imagine it does one bit of good for brain happiness levels! cyrus_zuo My sentiments exactly. Lately I’m just trying to consume more media that lifts my spirits and acts as a respite from the seriousness of real life. Ultimately this game does have a positive message, but there’s a lot of sadness along the way. At the very least I'm happy there's a regular physical release coming, because oh boy! That collector's edition is pricey! >.<

Two iam8bit published games are getting EU retail releases, Sayonara Wild Hearts, and Untitled Goose Game. This is one of the most flawless, amazing masterpieces I’ve played in my life, and I’ve had a controller in hand since the NES/GameBoy era.

link3710 A lot of it is due to the prologue. Which yeah I know you can skip, but it sets up the entire game so skipping it does the player a disservice. And the rest of it is due to the details of the story that the prologue sets up, and the tone of the game from then on. The game itself is just really sad at points. And the music doesn’t help. On the technical side, this seems to be an utterly flawless conversion from its Xbox One big brother. In fact, while we cannot verify this ourselves, reports suggest that the animation has actually been improved over the original version. It may not seem like a big deal that even the Switch manages to handle a fundamentally 2D game, but there is a little more to consider. Ori and the Blind Forest runs on the Unity engine, which has a history of performance issues on Nintendo’s device. It was one of the reasons why Yooka-Laylee took so long to arrive, and also why RiME didn’t turn out quite so well. With that in mind, the team have done an excellent job getting the game to run flawlessly with no notable dips in performance. Face larger-than-life bosses and seek help from an expansive cast of new characters who will help you uncover Ori’s mysterious fate. BAN indeed I definitely see what you’re saying. I recently played a very sad, dark game - Detention when I was in a tough place in my life and it was perfect. Now I don’t feel any need to revisit it, but I was glad to explore it when I did.
