    played this on release, loved the art, forgot most of it a year later tbh. doesnt feel like a top tier game to me, more like a nice one

    Arcade_Maillard

    Pourquoi cet oubli après un an, sérieusement ? Un an pour oublier un jeu qu'on dit magnifique, ça interroge non ?

  2. Rowena_2009

    I played this during a rough winter when I wasn't sleeping much, and I'd just sit up at 3am guiding Ori through the forest. It didn't fix anything but it gave me something calm to focus on for a while.

    La forêt qui meurt, oui, mais l'émotion seule ne fait pas un classement solide.

    LuckyByte9

    Yo también jugaba de madrugada, sin dormir, y este hilo me recuerda que no fuimos los únicos con esas noches raras

  3. Save_Gerlach

    i know im biased because this game got me through a really hard year but i dont care, it deserves every bit of this ranking and i'll keep voting for it every single duel i see it in

    RogueLegend

    Un an après on parle encore de la place qu'il occupe, ça ne veut pas dire que le jeu la mérite, juste que le duel revient souvent.

  4. ArcadePhoenix2

    Bon, encore un débat sur ce jeu.

    Antonette_77

    Same feeling here, no sleep and a lot of forest.

    TurboByte47

    Un level design limité, face à Metroid Prime peut-être, mais face à Hollow Knight je trouve la comparaison moins évidente.

    Hebert49

    Replying to Antonette_77

    Face à Metroid Prime, la nuit blanche a la même texture, l'exploration change tout.

    Hortense_48

    Perso je le défends tjrs dans ces duels, le déplacement seul justifie sa place, ça reste rare un jeu où courir et sauter procure autant de plaisir sans jamais lasser sur toute la durée.

  5. GhostLegend98

    Ce qui marche vraiment ici c'est le déplacement, la façon dont on prend de la vitesse et qu'on ne la perd jamais complètement. C'est ce qui rend les zones de plateforme pures mémorables, plus que l'histoire en elle-même.

    RogueLegend2

    I was fully prepared to hate the movement tutorial part and then I lost an entire evening to it, my cat gave up on me around hour two.
