The steam page says

"Purchase the Definitive Edition and receive a free copy of the original game in your library if you don't already own it."

I was a little confused by that and thought there's a prequel game that'll be given for free. But after searching some more, found this [steamcommunity.com].

This was a great game. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. The sequel is coming out in March.

Should be fine. It's not graphically dense.

Ditto. One of my favorite platformers of all time.

I wonder if this is going to make it to a free game on Epic any time soon... It looks like a fun game.

Honestly, for $5, it is worth jumping on it if you don't have a backlog of other things to get through.

Meaning I probably shouldn't jump on it now.

I actually hadn't bothered to look at the gameplay of Ori before. Now that I did it's clearly a nice looking platformer with good reviews... almost certainly a game I would enjoy. I checked the price history and the DE has been $4.99 once each month since November. It has been $10 or less for a very long time.

I remember jumping on The Division 2 for $4.99 from Epic Games a while back (still haven't played it of course). Now it's $2.99 everywhere. So I wonder, given my large backlog, should I wait for a cheaper price on Ori... or do games only drop in price AFTER I've bought them. I don't have the answer, but more often than not when it comes to games, I keep waiting due to my backlog. Now I'm waiting for the obligatory troll to tell me nobody cares about my TL;DR rambling thoughts about this game.

Seems very unlikely. It's published by Microsoft, and I don't think they'd offer any game for free on Epic when it's already on Game Pass. Microsoft first party games always come to Game Pass, so they'd be lowering their own value proposition to offer it for free on another marketplace.
