About Ori (series)
The Ori series is a duo of acclaimed Metroidvanias — Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel Ori and the Will of the Wisps — renowned for their breathtaking hand-painted art and emotional storytelling. You play Ori, a small forest spirit, exploring vast, interconnected worlds filled with platforming challenges, puzzles, and enemies. The movement is the star: wall jumps, dashes, and grappling hooks chain together into a fluid, almost musical flow once you master the controls. The games are famous for their visual splendor, orchestral scores, and stories that have made players cry — the opening of the first game is legendary. Combat evolves across the series, with the sequel adding weapon upgrades, bosses, and a deeper ability system. Both games are widely considered among the best modern platformers, and the Will of the Wisps won multiple game of the year awards in its genre.
