An indie platformer without ugly 8 bit graphics

Yeah. After seeing all the hollow knight shitpost threads after silksong's announcement, I'm surprised and glad about the radio silence regarding this game on Yea Forums

Ori is a pure and wholesome game with no memetic appeal so it's understandable why

"indie"
if by indie you mean 40 or 50 employees and a dev deal with microsoft then ok.

Get implants

>shit game though
Don't listen to this user. It's the best game on that list.

Nah ,it is a fucking awful.Clunky as shit and ugly graphics

It’s terrible

They didn't have a gameplay showcase plus the original game didn't really stand out in anything besides the graphics and that's not something that triggers discussion.

Ori pissed me off, honestly.
It felt too much like it was trying to tug at your heartstring, with it's various undeserved FEEL BAD NOW PLEASE moments, that just end up getting undone by the end. "haha hey your mom-thing died trying to keep you fed because she loves you but it's okay because she just gets back up later"

It keeps stealing control from you to slowly watch a door open up

It's save-state-esque mechanic just felt lazy. There are save points, but like 3 of them, so it has to use this to make it's level design bearable.

Then when the game is finally starting to get mechanically interesting, it's over, with the only thing left to do is 100%, and that's just getting health upgrades you don't need by this point.

But I guess it looks good so all of that is okay.

Lol every time, git gud

The guys were former AAA devs. No shit the game looks decent.

Looks like YOU need a dev deal hehe

>filtered by Hornet

That looks absolutely terrible. I'd rather play an 8 bit kickstarter game.

It's just people trying to get a rise out of people because the game is popular.
The game isnt terrible. Ot just that maybe it's not in their preference.

did anyone else play with a friend and just cheat through all the levels by putting them on a box and levitating them over everything

The guys were former AAA devs and not some nobody ones. So no shit the game doesnt look bad. Gameplay isnt crazy though. Just fine.

Also I prefer Cuphead desu.

>friends

user,I...

hollow knight has awful graphics
the characters are basically stick figures and they're barely animated

Its one way, but its cumbersome (you can pull box while someone is standing on it, so your teammate have to jump, you grab and pull again etc.). I found funnier way. Get knight with magnetic shield, grab box, teammate on box and catapult him upwards like a rocket.

Super Meat Boy has ugly 2D graphics though.

No but I played it with my nephew.

Microsoft Game studios aka infinite money.

Nothing indie about it.

A couple more:
>Trine series
>Dust Elysian Tale
>Apotheon
>The Swapper
Not the most well known games, but they're all worth playing and have amazing & unique visuals.

Microsoft didn't pay the devs as much as you might think

>Moon Studios is an independent video game development studio, founded in 2010 by Thomas Mahler (former Cinematic Artist at Blizzard Entertainment) and Gennadiy Korol (former Senior Graphics Engineer at Animation Lab). The company mainly focuses on highly refined gameplay mechanics within its products and prides itself on an excessive 'iterative polish' process. Moon Studios is a distributed development house: All team members are spread throughout the world, allowing Moon to work with the best and most talented people in the games industry.
>In 2011, Moon Studios became a Microsoft First Party Developer and is now working on Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
>Microsoft First Party Developer
Nice independant devs you got there lol.

Shit and Sanctuary looks like absolute garbage, is garbage and tries to be a clone of garbage.

Hollow Knight is undeniable kino and the best indie game and best metroidvania game of all time.

Ori is a Microsoft owned IP hence why it's first party, but the studio is independent. ;-)

I just started playing this, holy fuck is it pretentious. One of the worst tutorials I ever experienced.

Oh so they got cash from Microsoft to make Ori then?

Fuck off falseflagger.

She did

Yes, but it wasn't exactly a large budget. The devs had to pay out of their own pocket for the orchestral music for instance.

worth every damn penny

>cuphead or rayman

lol

this
Game is only praised by l*eddit and people with absolute shit taste.

Dunno. Maybe hollow knight, cuphead, bastion, dust, and the binding of isaac would be able to answer that

>she just gets back up later
Are you retarded? Kuro is fucking dead.

Typical contrarian post without explaining shit, and adding buzzwords to the mix.

*blocks your path*

Except Bastion and Cuphead, all of them have shit animations and subpar gameplay.

Is this good? I saw the sequel during E3 and while it didn't seem bad I want to know how the first game was like.

>cuphead
>shit animations

>except

I tried to like Ori, but that annoying mechanic where you have to use enemies/things to propel yourself in the air rotating an iffy vector with the analog really turned me off.
it's also very confusing visually, even if it's beautiful

>I tried to like Ori, but the best mechanic in the game really turned me off

I'm very sorry

>i tried to like Ori but the best thing in Ori turned me off

Oof

Bash was the best fucking thing about Ori.
>do you see that enemy on your path? it's a boost pad now

What the fuck. There a lot of things wrong about Ori but the Bash was not it.

That was like the best shit about the game.

This game is really boring
