Ori and the Blind Forest

TOPIC: Ori and the Blind Forest

(FYI: 'Ori and the Blind Forest' is a single player platform-adventure Metroidvania video game designed by Moon Studios and published by Microsoft Studios.)

FACT: Following the game's initial release date back in 2015, this widely admired adventure is getting a brand new squeal titled Ori and the Will of the Wisps.  

The original game was praised by critics across the board, getting a score of 10/10 from Stream and a 4.6/5 from Microsoft, and so it is no question why Ori is now turning into its own video game series. Ori is the titular character and main protagonist of Ori and the Blind Forest, and a spirit guardian who becomes separated from their biological and adoptive family; Ori is then thrust into a journey to save the forest of Nibel from a dangerous decay spreading throughout the land. 

From the new squeal's trailer, posted by Xbox's YouTube channel, the new game looks absolutely beautiful. Filled with a variety of bright and blushy colors, the trailer illustrates a world where animals survive in a forest filled with monsters, while also exploring different environments changing from day to night. Additionally, the original game won the BAFTA Games Award for Best Artistic Achievement, and, in my opinion, Ori and the Will of the Wisps has equally, if not more stunning graphics.

The sequel is set to come out this year, and with all the tragic hurricanes and earthquakes currently impacting our world today, I think a beautifully colorful fictitious world is what we all need right now. :)
