In a world where the lighthearted 2D platformer of the past is dead and gone, replaced with brutally difficult roguelikes that hearken back to the oldest of schools, discover a platformer that splits the difference by combining adorable, cuddly characters that will lull you into a false sense of security before it slams the difficulty boot directly into your prostate and expects you to call it "art".Įxperience the new look and feel of the Ori series' second outing, where they took a glance at Hollow Knight and said, "I guess we could do that.", featuring the original platforming-heavy Metroidvania gameplay of The Blind Forest with an additional layer of abilities and light RPG elements that you see in the genre's most respected games, more elaborate weapon-based combat, specific checkpoints instead of self-made ones, and lots of quests and side-quests to keep you backtracking, as well as a bunch of Souls-y atmosphere and weird, lonesome NPCs to encounter, which might feel like a concession to the popular, but, uh, it's still probably a better game because of it.

The following trailer is rated S for Spoilers.
