Awesome!
How does it work achievement wise? Can you choose to play the original version and then the definitive? As I think they have different lists?

I personally don't know, sorry. I'm guessing they're two different slots however due to it saying "get the original ori and the blind forest free with the purchase of the definitive edition"

These come up in my games list as 2 separate games so 2 separate achievement lists.

Yes, achievements are separate for the original and definitive versions

Yay I bought this aaages ago and haven't got round to playing it yet because I got stuck right at the end of the vanilla game!

I got stuck on the original game, upgraded to the def edition which has an 'easy' mode, got stuck further on and then decided to stop banging my head against that brick wall as my gaming time is far too limited to spend it not having fun when I do play.

Heat added. Love the original on the 360. Very well polished game, challenging and great story telling. A must buy for any gamer and platform player.

It costs £6.15 but you still have to pay 20% VAT, but at just under £7.40 its probably the cheapest place to get it!

Lovely little game this. Would recommend to anyone who doesn't yet have it. Sounds and visuals are very good.

There was a check box that was adding on g2a payment protection. I unchecked that before adding to basket and it worked

Didn't even remember I had the original, clicked the link and logged in, to my shock I do have the original and got this version. Good job.

Finished this game about 10 times, one of my top 10 of all time, a stunning modern metroidvania.

I originally got the very cheap Russian store version many moons ago and played it straight through - loved every minute of it.
I can confirm this deals gets me the Def version for free... Heat added :smiley:

Thanks for posting. Have just purchased the original for £6.15 via G2A. Definitive edition now downloading for free. Would definitely have missed this! :smiley:

how did you get it for. £6.15? It's trying to charge me almost £8 because I put that in in the UK. Didn't want to risk another region in case the code doesn't work.

Honestly for £15.99 this is a bargain. GOTY for me and I have already played it 3 times!
One of the greatest games of all time.

I bought the original for full price when I had to use up Xbox credit and it was worth every penny, I've played through it a few times and still love it for the responsive controls, beautiful graphics and the stunning soundtrack.

Nice one mate. Just got it myself. Was frustrated with the first as I got stuck due to a glitch which couldnt be corrected without going right through again
Fingers crossed it doesnt happen on this

It's a fresh set of achievements. You can't transfer your previous achievements over as far as I'm aware. It comes up as a separate game to the original not an add on patch to the original.

It's never been on GWG, however if you do own the original make sure you're signed in? Often on the XB store website it signs me back out when I open up a new page

Just got it for free, had the original from GWG. Make sure you're signed into the Microsoft store.

To others who missed this offer it looks like it's now on offer from Microsoft as the price of the definitive edition is now £8.
