About Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition
Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition expands the original action‑platformer with new content, including extra areas, secrets, abilities, story sequences, multiple difficulty modes, full backtracking, and Spirit Well teleportation, all on Windows.
The edition adds Dash and Light Burst abilities, lets players explore two new environments that reveal Naru’s past, and integrates full controller support, Steam Achievements, Cloud saves, and Remote Play features.
01 / THE GUIDE
New Abilities
The Definitive Edition introduces Dash, a swift movement skill that lets Ori cover large gaps quickly and reach platforms previously out of reach.
It also adds Light Burst, a powerful attack that can be used to clear groups of enemies and open pathways blocked by hostile creatures.
- Use Dash to cross long gaps without stopping.
- Activate Light Burst when surrounded by enemies.

Additional Areas
Two brand‑new environments appear in the Definitive Edition, providing visual and narrative insight into Naru’s past and expanding the forest of Nibel.
These areas contain hidden secret zones and can be accessed faster by teleporting between Spirit Wells, reducing the need to retrace long routes.
- Search every new environment for hidden collectibles.
- Use Spirit Well teleportation to shorten travel time.

Multiple Difficulty Modes
Players can choose from several difficulty settings, each adjusting enemy behavior and platforming precision to match skill level.
The options let newcomers experience the story with lower challenge while offering veterans a tougher test of timing and combat.
- Start on an easier mode to learn movement mechanics.
- Raise the difficulty after mastering Dash and Light Burst.

Full Backtracking Support
The Definitive Edition removes restrictions on revisiting earlier zones, allowing players to return with newly unlocked abilities.
Backtracking works together with Spirit Well teleportation, creating a fluid loop for exploring previously inaccessible secrets.
- Return to old zones after acquiring Dash.
- Check earlier areas for newly reachable platforms.
