The performances are fine, the characters are sweet but this is 14-part series follows the structure of the movie almost beat for beat. Understandable, because it's based on the same novel, but that also means it is a drawn out, slowed down retelling.

It's still made with passion though and the narrative is still strong enough to keep you engaged, but I would argue that the added runtime doesn't translate to added depth.

There is barely any scene that I dont already know, often the dialogue is copied word for word and unfortunately I dont really feel the chemistry between the two leads.

In the end, I dont understand why Netflix wanted to retell this story.

If you open your heart and fully embrace the story, you will love this game. Even though you know where the simple story will be going, it is brought to life with such joy and love, that you will invest in it. I started crying right from the start, when I saw the family around Ori together.

Perfect length, great mechanics, perfect execution. Thanks to the developers for taking me on this journey.

Sorry, but this game just isn't good. It's contrived, illogical, frustrating. The controls are wonky, I've encountered several A-Bugs. It's unpolished, even for a small independent developer. Don't waste your time.
