One of my top ten games of all time...if not top 5. The storyline is exactly what people tell you is, that it's a heart-throb of a rollercoaster with a truly beautiful ending. The platforming is uniquely designed and the areas you go through are so different from the last but beautifully meld into one extensive environment. The skills feel odd at the beginning but the more I used them the more it just enhanced the games flow and got me more and more excited for the next ability that I would unlock.
If I had to recommend a metroidvania game to anyone that's looking for a semi hard casual playthrough it would be ori and the blind forest. As off review I'm . currently working through ori and the will of wisps.
