GameClub 3 - Let's Play Ori and the Blind Forest (Patreon)

Thanks for your votes. Our next GameClub game is Ori and the Blind Forest.

But first - let me just say that I do hear and appreciate your feedback about famous games getting picked over less well-known experiences.

To address this right now, I will open up bonus Discord channels for the runners ups, OneShot and Flame in the Flood, for those who would like to play that game and chat with others. 

To address this in the future I will be more careful about picking games of a similar popularity, and reduce the number of choices to three.

Okay! So, Ori and the Blind Forest is a free-flowing platformer game with a Metroidvania structure. I think we'll able to chat about its level design, its controls, its combat, possible design bloat, hopes and ideas for the sequel, art design, and story.

I'll look into getting the developers in for a chat on Discord, too.

You'll want the Definitive Edition of Ori and the Blind Forest on Steam. It's got some extra content, and you get the original version to boot. The game is also on Xbox One. It's great on both, but I'd recommend a controller for the PC version.

Let's play until July 24th. As always you can chat about the game at any time on Discord, but please be careful with spoilers (both story, and other things people may wish to discover themselves like abilities, locations, and creatures) until the 24th.
