Before 3.15 it was awesome.
Edit: 3.17 made it awesome again, just don't play HC now unless you're doing offscreen meta builds.

Got gud.

Now you git gud.

It's like Rogue Legacy made out with Symphony of the Night.

Played Iron Man only. Got to Iceland on my 3rd try. Got 1 shotted.
The game's good but it gets old fast. I'm not doing another try - quests are too repetitive!
Worth the price tag though, if only for the art.


That being said the game could be renamed: ''Eating & hunting simulator 2016''.

-Pros-
-Smooth controls
-Amazing art
-Music/soundtrack is fitting

-Cons-
-Only 4 quest types (find a guy, protect villager(s), gather food, kill x mobs)
-You eat non stop. For some reason your guy needs to eat far too much. Food also heals you after your full so you're always in need of more, it never ends. Even if you end up full you'll just get hit by something and have to eat half of your rations to heal up, which in turn means more hunting needed.
-Hitboxes are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, you can't really dodge everything, especially wolves/boars/witches
-Some mobs deal far too much damage (Witches)
-Bugs (beastiary, invite feature)
-Can't move your food around in your bag, which means you'll always be eating the left most food if you hotkey eat, otherwise you have to open bag and pick the food you want to eat and drag it or double click. That's very annoying considering you eat non-stop.
-Weapons are weak for the most part - you get most of em through quests (axes you get through chests) and most are fairly weak at any given time. To kill ♥♥♥♥, you use bombs. (consumables)
Aka: Have food, be full HP, farm bomb mats - repeat
You'll use your weapons to finish stuff off mainly.
-Potions are like accessories mainly. Unlike the blacksmith (in which you can swap the gear you've made) if you make a potion it'll override the previous one and it's gone! This is a terrible feature seein as they cost quite a bit to make.
-Food recipes are too expensive for the most part, that's unless they nerf hunger.
-No bosses ( Think there's only 1 last stage)


TL;DR
Game's cheap, worth what it's worth. Quests bland, weapons weak, not too many bugs, bombs rule all, hunger's ridiculous.

Great until you find out you can just change your computer's date to cheat your way into the game.
I still had a good laugh/good fun :P

Great game.
It's getting better and better, now it just needs something to grind for /play for other than achievements.
Slowly but surely!

It's a good game that needs a LOT of work. Come back to it later and it'll be great!

-Combat is f'd up. (world's most one-sided fist fights mainly)
-Negative status don't do much of anything (especially trauma - you can send your kids to die and eat em with no consequences)
-Highly annoying motor-like sound when you press on fast-forward time, to the point where you just mute all sounds
-Needs bigger map
-Camper is useless- by the time you have it completed you don't need it anymore
-No ending/goal
-No option to play 2 adults only
-Cannot play without scavenging, aka traders that come in your shelter rarely have fuels so you'll run out of fuels and die after 100 days if you try it. (I've tried it)
-REALLY needs vsync

Other than that it's great.
Just come back in a few months.

Yes, it's good.
I've played plenty - 500+ is enough for me though!

I even fully watched the credits after beating the game, which is something I never did in my 30 years of gaming.
It's that good.
I think every gamer needs to experience Ori at least once. It's miraculous.

What.A.Trip.
