HE DID IT. HE DID ORI. THIS IS A DAY FOR CELEBRATION

[@AdamDuffArt]

It’s about time :)

[@DeductedSpy]

@@AdamDuffArt agreed! I love this game

[@Studioterrel]

@@DeductedSpy hell yea One of the best games I ever played in my life.

[@billywhitaker6658]

My favorite side scroller, the emotion that is conveyed in the animations and tone is jaw dropping time and time again. Thanks for shining more light on this gem. Love you my friend. ♥️

[@dani.5087]

Ori's one of those games that never gets old. I haven't played WotW as much, but I have over 100 hours in blind forest and I'm STILL noticing little things about the background. The art direction in these games are absolutely phenomenal, and even after seeing it dozens of times it still drives home the power of the game's story beats and the majesty of its world. God, it's gorgeous

[@rlrihards948]

I genuinely think I've found my passion..

[@GLArt-yt]

To this day I have never had such an emotional response to a game. This is in part down to the story. However the visuals and the music make these two games my favorite gaming experience of all time. Everything about the Ori games is simply beautiful. I NEED this book!

[@mariac6379]

You know, I tried to describe how amazing and beautiful the Ori games are, and was met with "We get it, it's beautiful. It's pretty." I'm so happy to hear someone else talk about the incredible art of these games with the same excitement, awe, and respect I have for them. I was starting to think I might be crazy, lol.

[@RhiowMeow]

Whenever I pick up this game, it inspires me so much artistically. AND NOW THERE'S A BOOK *scrambles to amazon*

[@MegaLPlover]

What's so cool about this is the game actually looks JUST like the artwork!

[@shu-kaidalmatiner7389]

I dont know how you do it. But you make me tear up in every video you make. Your voice is awesome, your script is awesome, your taste of music and art is aweseome. Your views on the world and our feelings as artist are irreplacable and i am very thankful to have found you in a time of struggle. You calm my mind and help me focus on my work. You help to shut out all the bad voices in my head. Thank you so much! Even in a book review you can touch on my emotions! I loved the art of Ori and it originating in austria gave me hope to find a propper workspace in austria in the future. Where there is hope, ambition and creativity there is a place for us!

[@Shveet]

Was exited to see Ori make it to top visuals for the Steam awards, the game design and artistic style is brilliant. With how well Ori flowed and transitioned from jump to dash to the near constant threat of danger in the dune areas to the east which is just as unforgiving as the bright and colourful, but dangerous, floral that layed to the west. From a visual side, nothing ever being a dull moment; from the snow and ice to the old water wheel and cogs, always something interesting and pleasing to the eye to see. The Devs really set the bar high for WotW over Blind forest. thanks for doing a look through of the art book! i might just jump back into another play through of the game

[@henfield4001]

THE GAME OF MY LIFE. how much I cried, how much I thought about after the end ... and I still think

[@allieomallycat]

Ahhhh thank you for doing a review of this!! I discovered Ori and the Blind Forest just before the pandemic last year, and I absolutely fell in love with it. I've never been so touched by a video game before. The chimerical characters were beautiful of course, but those environments just grabbed my soul. The story and music completely pulled me in and helped make the game a full sense experience. I can't wait to play Ori and the Will of Wisps! 😊

[@Azuniite]

I especially loved the Silent Woods atmosphere where the Shriek lives. That desolate, silent, melancholic place send shivers down my spine :D

[@mmart829]

No other game has made me cry as much as Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I literally sat around the house stunned after finishing it. I'd like to play through this game again and get all the achievements but I'm still crippled by the sadness of the ending....I'm having a hard time dealing with it. If you're looking for another game with stunning visuals and design, you should try Okami HD if you haven't already. I actually have the art book and it's absolutely gorgeous.

[@benschannel9065]

Makes you wonder what the game would look like with those assets added back in in a remaster in a few years. Performance capabilities can only improve with time.

[@johnynoway9127]

hah tell that to disney remakes and WoW 3 remaster

[@vik1450]

I am sure it's on many people's minds and it has probably been said before, but I wanna send some love your way Adam for giving such a vibrant insight of art. I always find myself immersed in the things you have to say. Every sentence has meaning and depth to it and I really don't understand why my art teachers just can't even come close to what you're doing. They talk and talk but in the end they don't say anything. Thank you for your amazing videos and insihts into art. ♥

[@avikdas1577]

You made my journey in art to be more spiritual rather than being strictly technical. These art books (which I have a few in possession) reverberates and reflects the depths of life and purpose of living. Keep going Adam!❤️

[@himakerr]

19:22 horizontal pupil could make sense for a scanner eye to analyze environment for map :) but you know, aesthetic also matters

Adam, you're really good with art. But you're a true master with words. I just can't stress enough how much I love your videos

[@Kat2344]

This review just made me get the book! The quality of the images looks great and it's so great to see the various insights added in non-obstructive ways!

[@echoineternity8087]

Will of the wisps truly is the most beautiful game ever made. I love how they blended a few ideas from hollow knight into this sequel!

[@otakugillis3818]

I love how little likes there are. This guy deserves all the love he gets

[@aarongolden]

Looks phenomenal! I've had the game on my wishlist for ages, think I'll have to order the book too :)

[@artbythedarkside4273]

apparently the correct multiple for octopus is octopuses. Octopi is incorrect because the 'i' at the end is for nouns with a Latin base. Octopods is also acceptable. Wonderful video, by the way. As someone who is studying animation and game design but hasn't always enjoyed side scrollers, Ori and the Blind forest (which is the only one of the two that I've played), flips a totally different switch in my brain. The UI design was also fantastic.

[@Azuniite]

I was taking screenshots every 5 minutes while playing the game. Suck a beautiful piece of art :)

[@mrjuicejar_yvk]

Ori: Every frame is a Wallpaper :D

[@emaginenations]

I absolutly agree the Ori games are the most beautiful games ever made. And with the great gameplay that make them a 10/10 - but combined with the mesmerizing soundtrack it's easily a 12/10.

[@thelifesampler]

For artistic purposes I recommend you to play and get the Gris game and artbook. Only will always be my favorite but Gris is also beautiful

[@mismonsta]

I just did some Ori fan art recently and now I’m ecstatic to know that there’s an art book to buy. Thank you for the review Adam! Cheers!

[@nellk4373]

Ori (both parts) is amazing game, the atmosphere, the characters, the music, the story - unique and perfectly crafted. The art, the design, colors all add to gaming experience and are delightful on it's own. Incredible work, definitely on of my favourites of all time. Also moki are the cutest) Even the ending was a bit sad, but soothing and satisfying. But dat freaking sand worm! It sure tested my patience and pushed me to the limits of my physical abilities, as I played with keyboard+mouse. Wish there was way to skip it for less hardcore gamers, no sh!t, it's total nightmare)))

[@stratovolcano7813]

I have nothing to say except this is the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen

[@wil2501]

I really love your videos. I could listen to you talk about the game and its art all day. Wished you talked even a little about the actual book here, though :)

[@galaxyfan4593]

Wow. This was such a beautiful and deep review from you. I wasn't expecting that. I was blown away. You made me curious for this game again. I didn't even know it had an art book. Now I really want to have it.

[@xuanxh]

I bought the first Ori game based only on the look, aesthetics and the design of the game, because I was liking the mood simply looking at the screenshots. The first minutes of the game are a masterpiece and make us chop onions! But, shame on me!, I still haven't finished the game: I'm not good at platformers (and since I don't have a controller, I'm playing with my mouse and keyboard on PC and really struggling!). I feel like giving it another try now! :)

[@LittleCaira]

Man, you just overloaded me with that affection of yours for this artbook and game I had to squeez few tiers out of my eyes :D ...Adam Duff your weekly dose of emotions over art... :D .. love your videos tho..

[@bramvanderhoek1755]

Great review! Ori almost single-handedly inspired me to take art more seriously, will definitely be picking this book up

[@saminosamuel7113]

Great review as always! :) One thing I'd like to add- I know this channel focuses mainly on the visual arts, but I absolutely cannot think about Ori without thinking of it's spectacular, yet tender and quite frankly healing (at least for me) soundtrack by Gareth Coker. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone, whether they have played the game or not, to go and give it a listen. Seriously, it's that good and it compliments all the events in the game beautifully.

[@cdcraftd1882]

Have you ever played Journey? It’s a very short game, only takes a couple hours to play but the atmosphere and artistry leaves you awestruck

[@Fengtos]

OMG! didn't know there was an artbook for this. Ordered immediately :D

[@Wherethecatare]

I love the game! i even cried and every scene is worth to take time

[@graceorams2959]

I loved the artwork of this game because of the atmosphere it gave

[@mudmanproductions2455]

At 5:50, sometimes I feel like an Ori #3 but sometimes I feel like an Ori #10

[@kerimsilajdzic2835]

To add on to your Hayao Miyazaki point: The Edo period in Japanese art introduced blank white faces on the characters depicted in the stories on the woodblocks (similar to the stylization in European portrait art which seems odd from out point of view) - so we, the viewer, can project whatever emotion we think suits the painting best.

[@AKG997]

I believe he was talking about Hidetaka Miyazaki. The one behind Dark Souls. :D

[@kerimsilajdzic2835]

In that case, I take it back, although it can maybe still apply since it is a cultural influence.

[@JeremmyaDevin]

ori and the blind forest is by far my one of the top games i truly like, and I can't wait to pick up ori and the will of wisps in the next steam sale, damn these games so beautiful

[@sarahespino2872]

Thank you for reviewing the book! I didn’t know it existed. I will most certainly buy it. I absolutely love this game. A Masterpiece

[@felixenglund3238]

I have never cried during gaming as much as I did playing both Ori games.

[@wyattcoe8825]

Adam. You should check out the game Gris for it’s art alone. It, like Ori, puts art above all else tells an emotional story of grieving a lost love one.

[@hoangtienhung819]

I have waited soooo long for this!

[@limkorvey1929]

Before the game even started i cried so hard already.

[@thelifesampler]

when I first saw Ori trailer I wonder. after playing it I knew it was something else. Ori is in my all time top 10 games and artistic things.

[@seanwixom6420]

You inspire me Adam thx for helping me with my art progression 😄

[@acrabdevis]

Ori is a wonderful and stunning experience, even if you're just looking at it.

[@wolf-marks9353]

I wish I could draw like that

[@seanwixom6420]

Wow that’s beautiful Art😄

[@teoscapato1396]

I would love to see The Art of Control by Remedy, Amazing vid btw!

[@Morraak]

I bought both the Ori games but have yet to play them. They are on my list though. Really love the artwork, and looking forward to the Tangled artbook review! I wish Legend of Dragoon had an artbook for you to review. P.S. I think it's octopi but don't quote me haha.

[@drendraleigh4722]

I discovered you half an our ago and now I get to be early? Now this is fate. Your voice inspired me to pick up my pencil.

Amazing as always Adam, I absolutely love the two games, and always recommend to my friends to play it, you haven’t done ratatouille as well, my favorite animation :) love you Adam.

[@jiririnagl302]

Its not my favorite game but easily one of the most beautiful games out there.its actually can run on 6k resolution with xsx and combine with Oled TV its just insanity.

You absolutely need to play Nier Automata. It has such a beautiful air of quiet loneliness. With city ruins covered in the lush, quiet beauty of nature. I can't even describe it. I feel like you would really appreciate it.

[@___bruno]

wow, 22 minutes?! It felt like 10

[@RPRsChannel]

Any chance you could go over 3-5 "The Art of...." books that aren't really all that? Sort of the opposite of a positive review, like this one was. There's value in pointing out what's lacking.

[@g7edwardo]

That's an interesting topic to talk about. One of the worst artbook I had is "art of bioshock infinite", and I would like to know what other people think of it, especially Adam.

[@CODEShadowYT]

Very nice! I do “the Music of Ori and the Will of the Wisps” on my channel! Haha, so I find this awesome!!

[@helikthakur6343]

Please GRIS also.

How can I train under you? I would love for you to be my teacher, i have a love hate relationship with art yet I always come back to it, my mum and brother were potentially good artists from their drawings but they gave it up.
