I am looking forward to playing this! It along with Quantum Break are by far my most anticipated Xbox One titles for 2015. It's one the most "un-Xbox" like games I've seen!

Not the type of game I would usually play but going to try and expand my gaming a little more this year. AAA games have been crap for the most part lately.

Click to expand...

I wish to God more people would kwebb so developers would get out of this damn annualized "dude bro" funk they've been in since last generation. I shudder to think of a gaming future where the industry is made up of nothing but annualized sports games, Call of Duty, and Assassins Creed. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy mindless violence in games sometimes too but titles like Ori And The Blind Forest remind me there's still room for real art in this medium and quality gaming can be had that doesn't involve aiming and shooting.

Wow this game is getting really high review scores! I'm going to try this one out because it's so different looking. It's very non-typical for an Xbox title.

All I can say is wow! This game is drop dead gorgeous, like a fully animated oil painting! It's very similar to Trine in terms of graphical presentation and gameplay. But this game has real heart! This is going to be a Game of the Year candidate! I can already tell. So far I can see why it's getting such high reviews. We need more games like this in the market!

Glad you like it kwebb! Games like this remind me of why I got into gaming in the first place.

I do have one minor annoyance with this game. It sounds like it's being nararated by Jabba The Hut. I didn't think it was necessary to use an "alien" dialect with subtitles for the story. I think it would have been better if the nararation had been done in English without subtitles.
