Ninja Destroyer
That looks a bit Ori-ish. Any good?
I didn't play Ori duology at all, but Seasons is rather easy for seasoned players, and oriented towards the younger players. But the artstyle, animation and soundtrack are great so it wort checking out, especially for the discounted price right now.
TBH I find the remark about animation a bit puzzling, because it seems very stiff.
From what I've seen the game in general seems turbo-casual and (probably) not terribly interesting?
Anyway, regarding Ori, it's a rare game that would have visuals alone (Art direction, animation), gameplay, soundtrack or quality of storytelling (not the story itself, but how it's told) making it worth playing.
Even rarer one that could be recommended on any single of those aspects, even neglecting the others.
Rarer still that also has all those working in concert in addition to any of them being stellar standalone.
And finally, almost unheard of, a game that's virtually free of dumbshit cargo-cult gamedev blunders, where every single aspect is like a cog in Swiss clockwork working together towards single vision and experience.
Ori and The Blind Forest is such a game.
I rarely find it difficult to shit on a game, even one I cherish for one reason or another. I could shit and mostly have shat on all of TES, Fallouts, all IE games, Wizardry 8, Deus Ex, System Shock, Homeworld, Unreal, Doom 2, Witchers, Larian's stuff, etc.
All feature braindead, facepalm-inducing blunders of all kinds that tarnish and detract from overall experience.
All are testament to the sad fact that gamedev industry mostly consists of hacks smacking random shit together in hope that it sticks.
Ori is virtually unblemished.
The only things I could possibly put against it are length (it's a short game, around 12h on first, completionist playthrough) and fairly barebones combat (though that's hardly fair given how it's clearly not the focus of the game), maybe also relatively spurious XP system.
The sequel is admittedly less perfectly architected, but it's retains most of the qualities of the original in addition to being much bigger and having better, more involved combat.
(It's pretty much a Fallout 2 vs Fallout 1 situation).
Both have effortlessly made their way into the list of my all times favourites despite not even belonging to a genre I particularly care about.
So, by all means do play both Oris, starting with the first game (Ori and The Blind Forest) as they follow from one another.
You're missing out, man.
