A beautiful, loving story is told and subsequently shattered within one, heart-breaking sequence. The first ten minutes of Ori and the Blind Forest remind me of the Pixar film UP. Perhaps the perfect time, then, to revisit this wonderful tale of friendship and explore the glades of the Nibel Forest once again.

Originally released for the XBOX One in 2015, Ori saw a recent leap to the Nintendo Switch in September of this year. Few platformers I’ve encountered have captured the charm, heart and warmth of Moon Studios’ Ori and the Blind Forest.
