Hell fucking yes.

[Madeline]

Ori was incredible. So glad it's getting some more attention. I still remember the forest flood escape being one of my favorite experiences in any platformer ever. Stellar music, too.

[Obsidian]

Ori is easily the most underrated game so far this console generation.

[Guitarman]

Another day 1 for me. The first was an incredible experience.

[Guitarman]

I legit got chills. I"m so fucking all in on this.

[PantsJunior]

Shit, I actually own the first Ori, but I never played it. Probably time to fix that...

[Gokulo]

I bought the Definitive Edition of the first one ages ago, just started playing today and already hooked. Just need to switch to gamepad since playing on the keyboard feels like a pain in the ass.

We're 2 weeks out, and all the hands-on previews I've read are positing this as an early game of the year contender.
The crazy sons of bitches actually did it -- they made a full, no-strings-attached sequel to a video game in 2020.
Expecting very high aggregate review scores.
