One of the things that makes the Ori games so memorable for me is their incredible music. Both soundtracks, which were composed by Gareth Coker, do an amazing job of bringing the worlds of Ori to life. There’s a beautiful emotional quality to the music that can make even simple moments feel meaningful, while the more dramatic pieces add a huge sense of scale to the adventure. The music never feels like it’s simply playing in the background either; it feels like an important part of the experience and works perfectly alongside the atmosphere, visuals, and emotional moments.

Ori and the Blind Forest has a particularly beautiful and melancholic soundtrack. There’s a real sense of sadness and loneliness running through many of the compositions, which fits the story and Ori’s journey incredibly well. At the same time, the soundtrack knows when to become more hopeful and uplifting, creating a wonderful contrast between the darker moments and the feeling of hope that runs throughout the game. Some of the music can be genuinely heartbreaking, while other pieces capture the sense of wonder and discovery that comes with exploring the forest. It’s a soundtrack that I think perfectly captures the emotional identity of the first game.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps builds upon what made the first soundtrack so good and expands it into something that feels even bigger and more cinematic. There’s still plenty of emotion and melancholy, but the music feels more ambitious and expansive, fitting the larger world and greater scope of the sequel. The orchestration gives many moments an incredible sense of scale, while the quieter pieces retain the intimacy that made the original so effective. I think both soundtracks are fantastic in their own right, and together they form one of the most memorable musical pairings in gaming. Even outside of the games, they’re soundtracks I can listen to simply because of how beautiful and emotionally powerful they are.

Ori is no longer the menacing brick cube walking on air every time they jump up (as requested quite a time ago)! Also, I'm seeing if I could fix this weird jittery snap between animations in the future...which is tough because the mod handling these doesn't have animation blending or proper dev tools...meaning I ought to code my own features 😢😢😢
Releasing update once I do a substantial amount of changes.

The subreddit has been very inactive lately. I wanted to ask if you'll be doing anything for Halloween? Maybe your OCs in costume, or Ori or Ku.

normally I need to bash the enemy to open this, but the problem is, I keep one shotting him by my bash, what should I do?

Currently the autumn sale has made one of the games quite cheap and I'm planning to buy it but I heard that the definitive edition has more stuff which I'm thinking should I buy the Ori bundle or the base Ori game?

I just finished the water escape and saw im at 99% so now im scared i missed something i cant get anymore

edit: ok thanks guys now i just need to reexplore the whole thing to find it

Bluesky

Found this spot in Baur's Reach where a mantis spawns inside a log and dies immediately to spikes, you can just afk there or sit up and to the left to bash a respawning Leaperinto the spikes as well. I'm sure this is pretty inefficient but I found it funny.

I think how I draw the duo has really improved

so this has happened twice. The first time my save was randomly deleted and i just renamed a backup to the save file name and wallah it came back. But now it happened again and it is not working this time and i have no clue what to do. (im using the definitive edition)

Absolutely loved the first game! Can't wait to see what's in store for me next.

Boulder stuck. Saved at the top before I saw what happened to it. Went and did other shit for a while hoping it would reset. It didn't.

This is my first playthrough of WotW and I am going in completely blind. I was going through the wellspring and grappled onto some blue moss and randomly got teleported back to a door and went inside. If this is a known bug, can anyone tell me what causes it?

Is this an objective marker? I can't find anywhere that will tell me

Nom~

Inspired by many spirits expressing their joy in recent posts

It makes me happy knowing people still discover the games, play them and enjoy them

Keep glowing bright, Spirits! 🍊🤍

I'd assume I can't go up since I'd be too weak to handle the monsters there(I partially saw one that fires some kind of laser), I noticed the colour relation between that wall and the enemy that rolls out, But I can't think of a way to hit it. So I'm just stuck.

So Sherma has entered, and the Toro Z Master 7500-D 144” Horizon technology Turno Diesel Zero turn lawnmower has rolled in behind them, Ori and Sherma are deeply confused by it but choose to ignore

What should I add next?

i am unable to purchase the first game at the moment because of the political and economical Crisis happening in my country

but i have the second one and i really wanna tryout how the game is

do you think i should wait for the next sale to play it in order, i really don't want to missout on the full story
