I am not a fan of this kind of Metroidvania games (though I previously enjoyed Trine 1, Trine 2 and yet another insanely difficult game - Cuphead), but I heard good things about Ori series and decided to give it a go.
I finished the game on easy difficulty in 12 hours and died almost 900 times!! I found almost every secret and cell, and throughout the end your character is very powerful, once you fully upgrade, it's worth finish 100% of the areas (I will not though).
So, as you can tell, I am not that good at this games, though this particular one is very smart and hard to master, and sometimes got really frustrated and stuck, and had to watch videos on Youtube on how to progress further, I am not ashamed (on Xbox app only 17% of the people finished the game so...) and it's really worth a shot!
The story is great, but didn't got me invested, the music and sound effects are immersive and gorgeous, the backgrounds beautifully crafted, with lots of nature elements..maybe I'll give Ori and the Will of the Wisps a go when I will feel more masochistic.
