I'm sad that I'm unable to vote for Ori. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it, but I just haven't gotten around to playing it. Shame.
You got BOOST power!

You'd love it. Definitely keep it high on your "to do" list.

Much like how Guacamelee! has taken the exploration-platformer genre and refined its combat & control to perfection, I feel that Ori has done the same with the exploration side of that equation. The world and atmosphere are a perfect blend of beauty and sublime. It's still possible that it could screw this all up, but I like what I've seen so far.

I didn't play it long enough to vote for it exclusively, so I'm also voting for TIE Fighter. This is one of the best examples of space-sim cockpit/dogfight shooting games, a genre that has kind of disappeared.

Yeah dude Ori is so good it's mindblowing. The water tree was some of the best video game I've played in AGES. That whole movement mechanic is nuts fun.

That said, this round is pretty stacked! KF, Kirby, EJ, TIE? Also I'm voting for NFS:U2 for the snoop dogg/doors remix that was in there.

Edit: Ori is not winning I quit the best game ever project

Yeah same and I doubt my PC can run it smoothly sadly and it isn't really a game I'd buy a XBone for.
