Microsoft has just shown off beautiful new platformer from indie developer Moon Studios, named Ori and the Blind Forest.

Due out this holiday exclusively on Xbox One (edit: and PC too), the game looks to be a side-scrolling 2D platformer with stylised visuals and some Studio Ghibli-style characters.

Alongside the main character is a floating orb, almost like the player's helper in Ubisoft's Child of Light.
