Review Note:

Run using Msync and D3D Metal. Takes about 4 minutes to launch initially...first load screen barely moves (Ori almost doesn't move at all), but once it gets to the main menu everything is fine. Note. Audio is a slight issue. Game is playable...but there is occassional crackling...which kinda sucks because the audio otherwise helps to set the tone of the game. I've played for 20 minutes...only issue has been the audio.
