Child of Light vs Ori and the Blind Forest

Child of Light is a hand-painted platforming role‑playing game presented like a storybook told in verse. Players guide Aurora, a young princess, through the dreamlike land of Lemuria to recover the stolen Sun, Moon, and Stars. Along the journey Aurora gathers allies, battles the Black Queen’s minions with turn‑based combat, and explores a poetic world filled with wonder and peril. The game supports both solo play and cooperative modes across multiple consoles and PC.

Ori and the Blind Forest follows the orphaned spirit Ori on a heartfelt quest to heal the dying forest of Nibel after a catastrophic storm. Guided by the glowing companion Sein, Ori must recover the lost elements of water, wind, and warmth to bring life back to the world.
