It's a truly massive piece of work and once that's even more remarkable when finding all the secret areas and hidden bonuses that are lingering with each sector. The fact that Tom Happ was able to build a Super Metroid homage from scratch is a remarkable feat in itself, especially when one witnesses the size and scope of his alien world. Imitation will always be the sincerest form of flattery. With deep mechanics like the Soul Link system and Ori's myriad of unlockable abilities, as well as cleverly-crafted puzzles that put the user's mind to work, Ori is also a challenging piece of work and one that's worth racking your brain over. It's the single-most beautiful game I've seen in 2015, with fluid, hand-painted beauty that comes off as a painting come to life. It's a brilliant mechanic and one that only encourages players to keep on trying, in hopes of reaching the game's cinematic conclusion.įrom our review: Ori and the Blind Forest is excellently crafted, both artistically and mechanically. Meanwhile, Ori's Soul Link system organically introduces a limited save state system that would reduce much of the game's frustration factor, removing a lot of the filler and letting players go straight to that confounding area that would provide the challenge of the moment. But behind all of its visual flair is one of the most challenging platformers to see the light of day, requiring players to exercise sheer precision to survive to the next area, where a deviously dangerous puzzle would await. Truly one of the most awe-inspiring games to hit this year, Ori and the Blind Forest from Moon Studios is a gorgeous piece of work that features some of the most detailed and beautiful environments seen in a platformer in years. I can say Bloodborne is an experience that I will never forget as its combat mechanics, especially its transforming main weapons, helped me to adapt to the task at hand and I will gladly continue adventuring through in order to witness everything Bloodborne has to offer. You’re going to die a lot and become extremely frustrated more often than not. Then the final boss arrives and you can only breathe a sigh of despair.įrom our review: Aside from the technical hiccups, Bloodborne is an experience that isn’t for the weak or impatient. Soon, players are able to explore more of Yharnam and reach the end of Bloodborne's long adventure, having conquered their fears and mastered the demons attempting to kill them. Soon, the frights of Bloodborne aren't so intimidating. The monsters start to become less scary, less intimidating, the more players not only grasp the surroundings they're in, but also make their character more powerful. Everything is mysterious, everything is dark, and most importantly, everything is frightening and it led to one of the best PlayStation 4 exclusives to that point.īut much like From Software's Souls games, there's a sense of progress that gradually sets in.

Bloodborne takes all of the masochistic elements of the Dark Souls series and adds in a healthy amount of fear to the formula. Yes, while this was the month for fantastic indie games to take center stage, there was one other mainstream effort that captivated anyone aching to scratch their itch for total masochism.
