Episode 49 - Mom Cave - Ori and the Blind Forest

He is the reason we're alive, he's the reason we podcast, Welcome
back to another episode of NOCLIP this week. We're going to be
talking about Ori and the Blind Forest, Moon Studio's Metroidvania
that takes the platforming that's expected of the genre and ramps
it up to be the main focus. The platforming challenge combines with
stellar presentation to create a game that is lauded by many, so we
take a closer look at the way the pieces fit together. We discuss
movement through a Metroidvania's levels, visual design and
visibility, and nature's most perfect of cold-hearted assassins:
frogs. Thanks for listening this week, and join us next episode for
a very special fiftieth episode where we revisit the series that
started it all and talk about Splatoon 2. Also keep an eye on the
feed for a bonus episode celebrating two entire years of our dumb
show!
