I'm about 60% through Ori and the Blind forest. Its curently scratching an itch I have for metroidvania games.
However, I learned that instead of patching the original game or releasing a DLC, they just made a re-release and im not buying the game a second time just for a new area and some improved QoL with fast travel.
I'm further behind in Ori but I'm enjoying it greatly. I'm not a big metroidvania aficionado, but I played and loved Hollow Knight despite it's difficulty (some of the bosses really tested my tolerance for punishment). I appreciate that Ori is (so far) a more accessible game.
I started Ori specifically because I didnt want to endlessly throw myself at Soul Master and the Watcher Knights again.
Watcher Knights I think are near the top of my list. I just rewatched my recording of beating them and I was fumbling so badly lol. It's obvious I'm running with the "pure desperation" tactic rather a more skillful approach, but it finally managed to work out.
I was addicted to exploring that world but I am satisfied with the one playthrough I think.
My wife was playing Ori around its release, we both got stuck on the first tree escape, where it floods. Absolutely massive difficulty spike for a relatively chill game to that point. Beautiful game though and I love the sound track.
