the ori games are absolute bangers, you should definitely check out some of the other music its all brilliant

Oh I remember this one. I might have cried a little (multiple times) on my first gameplay Edit: 'Restoring the Light, Facing the Dark' is probably my favourite since it just fits perfectly to the scene it plays

Ori... You know? This game made me cry with a TEASER TRAILER. That's the level of this music without knowing the history behind it.

Ori in hebrew means "my light", and is the name of the guardian spirit that we play as, slowly bringing the blind, and lightless forest back to life. What a beautiful experience this game was. It was also one of the first games my wife watched me play, which made her fall in love with video games. It will always be have a special place in my life.

YES I LOVE ORI SO MUCH Highly highly recommend a full track listen if you’re able to, there’s some absolute gems across the board

My favorite moment and OST of Ori is ''Restoring the Light, Facing the Dark'' It's very similar to Light of Nibel but adds a twist to it that makes it perfect and more exhilarating to me. You should definitely give it a listen in your own time Marco ;P

The true skill of Gareth Coker in the two games for this series is his ability to take Ori's leitmotif and change it in so many ways, tailoring it to over a dozen different pieces, each of them unique to the song, but identical to the original melody.

I'm very attached to the ori games. I love the second game even more than the first one. I cried my eyes out when I saw the ending to the story, because it's touching on so many levels

Aeralie's part gives me chills every time I listen to this.

The Ori games are not only incredibly recommended to play but the scores are some of the best I’ve ever heard. Amazing emotional games. Gareth Coker is a beast.

That's a new record. Three seconds after he pressed play my eyes teared up.

YES. As usual, you're spot on about the game. I also highly suggest you try it out, it's a platformer game with really nice visuals and beautiful music. It's also very emotional, especially the sequel Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Emotional Damage/10, highly recommend. 👍

the first OST of ori is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, it sure is a masterpiece, the second game elevates that even more. I shiver every time I remember "Shirek and Ori" or "Ori, embracing the light"

Ori is one of those games that I always have downloaded and play only when the mood is just right. Still halfway through the second one, last time i played it was two months ago but I still remember where I left off and excited to keep playing when I get time.

I only know that Ori is a highly appreciated game and the art is gorgeous in that one. Listening to this I noticed a tear running down my cheek when the C part settles down. It's so beautiful and sneakily chops strong onions somewhere near you.

Ori's OST's are absolute masterpieces.

I was lucky enough to saw this performed live by an orchestra in my country. It was absolutely BREATHTAKING!!

You should really listen to "Completing the circle" from Ori and The Blind Forest, and "Shadows of Mouldwood" from Ori and The Will of The Wisps! These 2 tracks are so incredibly well made 1 beautiful as hell, and 1 very creepy!

Truly one of the best pieces of video game music in my opinion. I haven’t played the game but I still get massive feelings from Light of Nibel.

Gosh Im so happy you're covering the soundtrack to this game. Absolutely recommend listening to more of it, Gareth Coker is currently my favourite video-game music composer, the stuff he's done for the Ori Games, Ark Survival Evolved and other games are absolutely amazing. I'd also recommend listening to the sequel, 'Ori and the Will of the Wisps', in my opinion the soundtrack gets even better in that game.

Ori is the definition of fear, struggle, pain and suffering and yet there is always a light in the dark . Gareth Coker is a god for putting that emotion into music.

The music from both Ori games is absolutely fantastic. The intro to the first game is an absolute tearjerker, both the music and the scene itself.

Oh man, if you love the Ori music, definitely check out the Gris soundtrack if you haven’t already; so emotional and heart-wrenching.

This music will always keeps my heart beating fast. It's too good, and the feeling of progress in the game with this music in the background is just masterpiece.

Ori my beloved!!! The Ori OSTs are so so so special to me, so I’m happy to see this pop up today

I cannot listen to the soundtrack of the Ori games without crying anymore. So good, and the feels hit harder than ever every time.

Ori really went for the making your player-base cry any% speedrun

Videogame music is genuinely what brings me the most joy at the moment I can really recommend the music of Dark Souls as well The battle theme of Sif the huge wolf is amazing

I was watching this, enjoying the emotional music and your deep analysis, and then I see that buff Pikachu figure in the background LOL I'd recommend listening to Touhou music, the composer is self taught but has really unique tracks!

All of Ori's music is so beautiful ❤

Ori and the Blind forest (and the sequel, Will of Wisps) are both an emotional roller-coaster. Its one of those hidden gems that literally exploded and took the gamers by surprise. The soundtrack of both games + the story is just top notch. When a game can make grown adult ppl cry like a little kid after 5 minutes into the story, well, thats great writing there. The music is just phenomenal, you should check out the rest of the OST, its worth it.

The soundtrack of Ori and the Blind Forest is probably one of the only game soundtracks that always jerks a few tears from me no matter what. The sheer amount of emotion and beauty conveyed through song is just... brilliant!

Woah hey! Ori music and early comment! I remember recommending Ori during the birthday stream. Glad to see you reacting to one of my favorite soundtracks, Marco! ❤

Oh hey a early in the morning video! Gonna watch while eating cookies and coffee :) Have a great day everyone, thanks for the video marco! Great content as ever! Everyone have a nice day :D 🍪☕

YOOO YOU REACTED TO ORI! THANK YOU SO MUCH MARCO! ❤️

Love Ori so much, Gareth Coker really brings out the emotion of every moment in those games.

both games of ori are art you should listen to ori vs shriek the final battle of the second game

holy shit this is my favourite game ever, you should absolutely see if you can play through the two titles! amazing storytelling truly. it is absolutely the peak of telling story through action and world rather than dialogue. I absolutely love this game and replay it very often Edit: I might be overhyping a bit but hecc it I'm dying on this hill

I get goosebumps I feel old your fighting trought depression looking for the light that’s how I se sit

My sleeping music is The Spirit Tree OST by the same composer - Gareth Coker.

Honestly such a beautiful song always come back to listen to it every now and then

OH HELL YEAH! I'm so glad you actually did it. Both the ori games have one of my favourite OSTs of all time. its different and beautiful

_"I don’t know what’s worth fighting for,_ _Or why I have to scream...."_ ;-p

Some of the best video game music. Also love the inkwater marsh theme from the second one.

Shriek on ori is a *MUST* listen

Light of Nibel only plays twice throughout both games, in the end credits. Throughout the first game, you hear Ori's motifs a couple of times, most prominently during the chase sequences, but never in full until you finish the game. In a way, this track denotes Ori realizing its full potential as the guardian spirit of NIbel. In the second game, Ori's theme is very muted in the very few times it's used until this plays again in the end credits. Again, this directly relates to the course of the game's events: you don't hear Ori's motifs much in Will of The Wisps, and Light of Nibel only plays for the second and final time over the end credits as Ori's journey comes full circle. In this case, it feels like the track is a recap of both games.

the entire soundscape of those games are incredible. the music is great for sure but the sound effects and your connection to the moves in rhythm with the music is what makes it so thrilling.

Yesss, my child Ori! 🤍 This is one of my all-time faves, one I've played multiple times, both the first and second games, but specially the first one. One thing I just love about the soundtrack is how layered it is (literally and metaphorically), how much it makes you feel all at once, you know. Ori's journey is riddled with so much sorrow and loss, the fear for the forests future and for theie family, so much desperation; but at the same time, is so filled with hope and child's wonder, like you said, the adventure and discoveries along the way, and the power of legacy. And I think the songs makes such a fantastic job to convey all of these all at once: the joy and melancholy of life. Gareth Coker is outstanding, and I'm happy to live in a time where I can enjoy his work through this game. Hope more Ori will show up soon here!

Game OSTs have certainly gotten to me before, like with Hollow Knight, but I'm new to the Ori games as of about 3 months ago, and it is the first game I've ever played where the music made me cry. Even after all these months, Restoring the Light, Facing the Dark still makes me cry just mulling over it in my head, let alone actually hearing it.

The second it started I just started bawling me eyes. It hits in so many feels. And I played the game mutiple times as well and it just always hits.

Chills. Every time. I listen to music from Ori. SUCH a great game.

I remember being at the "Game music festival vol. 4" in London an lsiting to this live, it was so amazing. If anybody is into video game music (I think most on this channel is) I would highly recommend going to the next. Gareth Coker even got on stage an talked about the creation of the music in the 2 Ori games.

YES FINALLY

Yes!! I love this song so much. Ori is one of those OSTs I always feel deep in my heart.

Of all the Ori react videos, you’re the only one that ‘gets it’ Absolute heartfelt masterpiece of a score

I'm glad you're taking a look at Ori! I was truly surprised at the passion the developers put into the game and they've had my respect ever since playing through it a few years go.

"the ancient wellspring" is my favorite piece of the Ori 2 soundtrack. it's gorgeous

Your judgement about the meaning of, well, both of the games, was so spot on, just from this music, it's inspiring. "Growing up" is definitely the core theme of that little series. To add to the recommendations for this game, I'd definitely say that Shriek and Ori from the second game is worth checking out.

OMG can't believe you've stumbled upon one of my favorite tracks of all time! Glad you enjoy it!

Yessssssss, Ori, I love this duo of games, and the "Restoring the Light, Facing the Dark" (its within Light of Nibel too) theme is engraved into my mind. I've been using the Ori soundtracks to go to sleep for years now, including the Luma Pools ost. Its just so magical and peaceful.

Lesgooooo finally some ori!!!! Also "Finding who we are" "The journey of existing" spot on coments.

Easy to say there's no fear or intensity when you've never been through the escape sequences where the variations of this song play :p

Ori one of my favorite, litteraly cried on both games ...has one of the best chase sequence ost... Try this... Restoring the light, facing the dark from Ori and the blind forest...

so many new videos so fast. dont burn yourself out dude. no need to rush one after another (assuming you might be pushing yourself to do one faster another so fast) theses are all wonderful and fun to see. i even cried with you at the "why did undertale make me cry" even love the deeper commentary from your work background giving new perspective to things and allowing us to look deeper into music we may not have before but always knew in the back of our minds and hearts. just dont want you losing yourself in the making of the video after video and take care of yourself. your content will grow and be better for it too im sure :) dont want to see the heart of all this be lost.

Ori 1 and 2 (I like to think of them together as one game) = One of the greatest games of all time. Honestly a quintessential experience in gaming.

The Ori games are both truly fantastic. One of the best experiences you can have

I recently saw your videos, because I am a big gaming soundtracks fan. Than it came to me: "omg what if he never listend to Gareth Coker's Ori and the blind Forest Ost/ Will of the Wisp?" It is my absolute favorite. I wanted to suggest it, but thought, hey maybe...he done that? Now I found this. Omg I am so happy now. I will enjoy this so much, because I know this will be great. Even tho I like the first Game much more than the second, the soundtrack of Ori and the Will of the Wisp is also soo great and has my favorite OST of all time in it. "Mora- The Spider" It did something, when I played this game. I struggeled soooo much with this boss. It was so hard for me to beat ... (only to see later, that with the right weapons and abilites, my life would be so much easier haha) When you get to the second stage of that boss fight, the Main Theme of Ori comes into place and I was never in my life so determined to finish a fight. It motivated me so much. It was just magically, to attack in the rhythm of the music. Later I found out, that the music, for example, when you play the escape from the rising water in the first game, lines up perfectly, if you played it perfectly. I could still cry listerning to Ori, because it was all so touching. Gareth Coker is such a blessing.

Seeing you react to the music of one of my favorite games of all time and one of my favorite videogame soundtracks of all time makes me so happy The game is so beautiful I really recommend it Thank you for putting so much effort into your videos!

Only ever watched parts of them played, but they're such beautiful games in all senses

I found Ori through its music (Gareth Coker also did the soundtrack for a few of my other favorites) and I’d say that the sequel to Ori is absolutely the best game I have ever played. I would love to see you play it.

Seeing an Ori reaction, I'm pretty compelled to recommend the GRIS soundtrack. Such a beautiful, short and cinematic game. I love Ori and GRIS both and would love to see your thought on "Gris, Pt.1" and "Gris, Pt.2". Where Pt.1 plays in the opening and Pt.2 plays in the ending of the game. Won't say much else for spoilers to leave more room for interpretation. Love the vids as always Marco

Ori music will forever remain in my playlists.

Cills... literal chills...

Both of these games have incredible soundtracks. Every track knocks it out of the park

Hearing this after beating the game made me cry so much, this game is so beautiful I just can't resist it always ALWAYS makes me cry month after going through it!

I love the buff picachu in the background

YES!!! at the end of the first game and second game , Light of nibel made tear up and even cry a sweet and sad cry! the game stories may be simple for some people but arr very very strong. And yes the games revolve .about family and love towards loved ones. and when it comes to family my heart cant fight , I have a baby nephews recently for the first time and light of nibel makes me thing how beautiful and hopeful life is. p.s. Of course I think about my parents too who are becoming old but im grateful because they gave me alot.

I always loved the ori games. I’ve never been able to come close to beating them because I suck, but I still like it and hopefully in the future I’ll come back to it and try again. It also has the best soundtrack ever and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Gareth Coker, man his work here landed him on the "I see their name, I buy" list

I first heard this song in a Genshin animation video that showcased a fight between the Raiden Shogun and an oni girl..

I dont know if you are going to read this but you HAVE to listen to Ori and Shriek. That is like one of my all time favorites

This game and its music is something else.

The music for the Ori games are incredible. I'd love for you to react to more.

NICE! I do hope you do some Ori and the Will of the Wisps OST reactions because no one ever does. I also much prefer that OST as well.

you should absolutely play or listen to more music from the ori games. they're such a wonderful games, especially musically. You'll absolutely love it!

Great music and reaction. Would kill to see more from you for this game. This one was probably the best since its kind of a medly of the different themes but there's so many other good ones you could just throw a dart and hit gold.

I played ori 1 and ori 2 when i was young. This is the best and sad game.

Light of Nibel - so amazing and hauting ... go escape the Ginso tree!

More Ori pleeeaaaase? :3

Yes! I love Gareth Coker's music. I mentioned another game he composed the score for in a comment on a different video (ARK:SE), it's so beautiful to hear a completely different side to his music while still hearing some of his signature styles. While Ark is a heavily combat-based soundtrack, as the music only tends to play during combat or on the title screen, Ori's music seems a lot more mystical and magical. Along with Aeralie's vocals it's so uplifting... She reminds me a little of Aya Peard who does the vocals for some of Two Steps From Hell's songs. Never played the game, but now after listening to this with you and reading other comments, I am very tempted to.

Yoo, Ori ost's are bangers! Hope you get through lots of them

If I was the composer of this music I would have a serious existential crisis, i wouldn’t know what to do with my life after this. I hope he can pull himself together and write music again but comparisons will be inevitable and brutal. The music had no business to be this good, I think even Moon Studios must have been shocked.

The song that turned Gareth Coker in to a household name

Ohh the trailer of Ori is so sad :( the music is so awesome.

oh man Now you have to listen to the sequel’s OST very much builds upon the greatness of the first

Ori and the Blind Forest is my all time favorite game. Most of that is because of the awe inspiring graphics but the music also played a part. This song played in the first "chokepoint" in the game. It's a place that you will fail several times if you havn't played it before. Normally this would be incredibly frustrating, but the smooth game play, the beautiful visuals and the incredible music keep the experience enjoyable despite the insane difficulty. This is the first video game soundtrack I purchased and I still listen to it often.

This game broke me in the first 10 mins of gameplay. I felt so many strong emotions in the opening act. This song is from the credits but it packs a punch in terms of feels. My favorites from this track are "Home of the Gumon" and "Riding the Wind". The song tracks where i broke were "Calling Out" and "Inspirited". The music really helps tell the story of each area of the map. If you haven't played it then i do recommend.

YESSSSSSS ORI MUSIC IS AMAZINGGGG

The Ori games are two of the most beautiful games I have ever played, both in audio and visual design

Thx Marco, I Fucking love this game
