@ralphdibny Personally I liked that it differentiated the layer you were playing a bit from everything else, so it wasn't confusing which you were on. But I understand that can be subjective. Good luck.
@ralphdibny I'm pretty sure if you hit the menu button when you are doing a spirit trial, you get the option to retry. I've done a couple now and need a good few tries to get them done, good practice for the escape sequences for me 🙈. I usually hate having to do escape sequences more than once in a game,as it loses any sense of stakes but I don't mind it in Ori, as they are so fun.
@R1spam ah wicked, I'll give it a look next time I do one! This is what game club is for!
I guess I've only done one escape sequence which is the first monster thing before you get the flame. Looking forward to more as they were my one of my favourite bits of Blind Forest.
I just finished Baurs reach, that might have one of the trickiest sections of platforming I've done in a long time!! I'm wondering if I'm underlevelled. I had 8 life vessels and 5 energy. Is that similar to what other folks were working with?
Just finished up with the boss of Luna pool. It's quite possibly that I suck but ooft I'm putting that fight up there with anything from a souls game for difficulty! I've only scraped through and must have died 15-20 times. Think I need to go find some more life vessels. Whoever made the decision to not let you change difficulty once you've set it, is EVIL lol!!
I've just got the two key stones for mouldwood depths which will be my first wisp after the Voice. I think I'm roughly half way through according to a guide I'm not using but am checking my progress against the contents page of.
Safe to say I won't finish it tonight but I'll keep plugging away at it 👍
As the month of exploring the Stars begin we will have a palate cleanser in Gris. This game is a bit of an indie darling made by spanish devs and with a stunning artstyle.
The game can be played from the 5th on Gamepass, but also on all platforms from last and current gens, PC, Mac and even mobile!

@Balta666 Thanks mate. Gris is a great little game I played recently on Switch, look forward to joining the discussion.
My vote for October is As Dusk Falls been meaning to get to it, and just missed Immortality on Game Pass. Plus it's only 6.5 hours and I will likely still be out exploring the starfield.
One note, the line: "Write your votes in bold (put two asterisks around it) and try and keep it separate from any paragraphs." I think is incorrect. Bold is like Spoilers but with a [ b]bold[ /b], I don't think two asterisks work on this forum unfortunately, or at least don't for me... **bold**
@themightyant when it is mentioned two asterisks, it is just one each side of the text (I can confirm it works as I allways use it instead of the strong option).
I will add your votes in a minute
P.s: I have changed the explanation a bit to make it easier to understand.
@Balta666 I'll add a vote for As Dusk Falls and I'm intrigued by Gris as I've not heard of that one before. When I'm done with Halo MCC Legendary play through I'll get on that one.
@Balta666@ralphdibnyAha Thanks guys, it works. Learned something, was used to Markdown where one asterisk either side is italic, two is bold, three bold italic etc.
@themightyant fair play I think there are others but I've never worked them out. Maybe -i- or i
Edit: ahh the second one worked!!! That's underscore for italics lol
Edit 2: can't work out any more but I think there should be a symbol that will generate underline, strikeout and subscript, just as there are the bbcodes for them
@themightyant yeah it's not quite all encompassing, maybe certain things are disabled for administration reasons. I always assumed it was BBCode with some differences because the BB links from ImgBB work here with no issues
Would be good if there was a full style guide available for these forums 👀 @antdickens
I thought about writing one myself based on what we've all worked out but maybe there is an official document out there already!
