    Bad story with outdated duality of light vs darkness.

    I also hate scripted chase events, having to die and memorize stuff IS NOT a fun mechanic in any game, if they want to do that kind of stuff at least make it fair

If you loved the first game, this one will blow you away. Even if you haven't played the first one, this is a must-play. The abilities to move around the map are so much fun and discovering the world is so enjoyable and compelling. The art is beautiful, music is a great accompaniment on your journey and the gameplay is brilliant. I had so much fun playing this game and ultimately that's what it is all about. The reason this isn't a 10 is because of the dead storyline. It's so unexciting. It's the plotline from a Disney movie, about how good > evil. I didn't care for the story line at all and I hope that the developers either don't take the story so seriously and keep it fun or develop an original idea. Overall the game reminds me of how Super Mario Galaxy felt.… Expand

The difficulty is adjustable and it would fit most people.

    The one negative is that the game is broken. I've collected almost everything i can, and i've done every single quest i can. The problem is, some of the quests are broken. The icons stay on the map, and i don't get the reward.

    What broke the game was sequence breaking by mistake. I did not get the quest to kill the boss before i killed it, this led to me not gaining one out of 4 pieces for the main quest. I noticed this 10 hours afterwards. So i've collected everything else, and the last piece that's missing is the one from the Luma pools boss.

    The last hour i run around looking for it, searched it up on forums and found out the savefile is broken at this point.

    You need to do the game in a certain order, which is unknown until you actually get the quests u get later on. The path to this area where i found the boss isn't supposed to be accessed until you gain a new ability which you get after the quest telling you to fight the boss. You can still easily access this are without the new ability to help you. There is no warning or barriers at all.

    The game felt open and wanted to test your platforming ability, or so i thought, but no... You get severely punished for acually exploring the open world they poorly designed.

    If you were to not try to explore the whole map and utilise your movement to the maximum and enter areas you shouldn't, the game would be great.

    I feel like the game wasn't tested well enough, for many savefiles just seemed to break and dissapear, many got softlocked like me. I also experienced other bugs where the screen went all dark, and i had to reset the game. I belive this was due to another sequence break i did not intend to do.

    Thankfully i did not buy this game, I read reviews and posts about how it broke for them, this is why i downloaded it in another way since i'm tired of games breaking when i'm far into them and i would have to restart or go back many hours and it isn't always possible to get a refund. This is why i downlaod these games without paying for them and use it as a demo and if the game was good, i support the developers afterwards. I never really cared for achievments or that stuff anyways. And the amount of times games have broken on me is insane and the amount of money i wasted on them are as well.

    I would buy this game on steam afterwards, now i certenly won't. I wasted 14 hours on this broken game, atleast i did not waste my money. Maybe they fixed this in some patch afterwards. But having a broken game out for atleast 2 weeks is not acceptable.

    There are backup savefiles, but i did not know the savefile was broken until 13 hours in, so it is almost a full reset. Nor could i find any savefile online.

    This is the kind of **** that makes me lose faith in game developers, and why i must use shady sites just to not get scammed out of my money. Small or big developers does not matter to me, if they did a good game that doesn't break, i support them by buying the game.    … Expand

    Much like the first game, playing through Ori and the Will of the Wisps is truly an experience. It’s an astonishing feat how much was improved in this sequel, and as far as Metroidvanias go, this one has certainly earned to be called one of the best.

    The visuals, music, gameplay, and story are all so intricately fine-tuned. The visuals are gorgeous and vibrant, and the music is just as incredible as ever. The platforming feels fluid and will feel like second nature not long into it; it’s just that good. This time, combat is more fleshed out and feels very reminiscent of Hollow Knight. Although the bread and butter is the platforming aspect, the combat is still very fun and well incorporated. The story is, once again, very emotional and is told more through music, sounds, and visuals rather than through actual dialogue or text. Bosses will lend to some very intense fights because they’re not a static rinse and repeat battle and is very dynamic and will change; it’s just awesome.

    I honestly can’t find anything wrong with the game. If I had any critiques with the actual design, then they’re not worth mentioning. I will say I ran into just a few small visual bugs, but that’s pretty much it. The developers really did an awesome job to make a polished product that I can’t really criticize.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a product of passion and devotion. When we’re in this position when we really can’t trust AAA developers and their products anymore, this is the reason why you can look to Indie developers like Moon Studios for pure, wholesome, and unadulterated games. To me, this game is a masterpiece. For any fan of Metroidvanias, platformers, or just great games, this is a must buy.    … Expand

I didn't enjoy the prequel all that much since it was mostly going from one point to another without really caring about why. But I don't get that feel here.

    There are a lot of secret areas to find and progression is faster now, with the map feeling more condensed. The atmosphere feels more welcoming and entices you to explore. If you haven't played the prequel, you won't really know what's going on in this game, but it won't affect your gameplay.

    Overall, the game isn't that long, and if you played the prequel and are used to the motions already, it's not hard to speed through. The automatic checkpoints alleviate the frustration of manual checkpoints the prequel had, although it does make the game easier.

    The map isn't as complex as before and many elements were recycled, but the story was more meaningful and the boss battles were satisfying (albeit potentially difficult for casual players). The conclusion was incredibly emotional and bumped my score from an 8.5 to a 9.

    If you want to save time, don't bother repairing the thorns or cave until endgame, since you can't do anything until that point anyway. Also, go to the desert area as soon as the game branches off to fetch the upgrade there, and then return and explore the other regions before continuing on with the desert. The upgrade will enable you to explore a lot more of the game without having to backtrack later on.

    One thing that bothered me about this game is that it stutters a lot (at least, on the Xbox Game Pass version). This is probably an initial release optimization issue, which will likely be ironed out as time goes on. It is still fully playable and won't affect your gameplay, but it does make cutscenes look weird.    … Expand

    One of the best games I've ever played in 35 years of gaming. The difficulty level is high but the reward is also high. I didn't experience many technical issues, I think the game froze on me twice. But well worth any issues for the wonderful visual style, the gameplay, the puzzles, everything is so well thought out. Highly recommended.

    Ori and the will of the wisps is a beautiful game that does everything right. The only exception to this is, does it really stand out from the first. Looks and story are similar but what makes this game is it's platforming and as far as that goes, it feels the same. If you want a reason to jump back into the ori world then be my guess. It's a good game.

    A real little masterpiece, just like the first Ori, only with improved mechanics over the first game.
    Some things have been borrowed from Hollow Knight but that's by no means a bad thing. In the first part, there was a greater emphasis on platforming and so it is now though. No need to waste words on graphics, probably the most beautiful side-scroller in existence.

    This sequel keeps the level of fancy visuals and audios as the blind forest—an excellent art piece from Moon Studio. It could simply be the best platformer on PC so far. Upon now on PC, minor but unignorable bugs persist. Fixing the bugs will put the Will of the Wisps onto yet an even higher level.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphics-10/10
    As a platformer there isn't that much in the realm of graphics and unfortunately I don't play many platformers. But from the few that have Ori WoTW is probably one of the best I've seen.

    Art-10/10
    The art style is just as good as the first Ori and fits perfectly. Each area had its own unique characteristics. Artistically it didn't feel like any area was reusing anything from another and the transitions from area to area felt and looked smooth. It didn't feel like there were any abrupt changes in the atmosphere. The creatures you meet along the way are also interesting in design and really add to the character of each area.

    Story-8/10
    The story of Ori WoTW is excellent but as the game wrapped up I realized that it felt like some of the story points from the first Ori were being reused. WoTW has Ori as the savior of course but it reuses the idea of a tragic background to elicit sympathy towards the antagonist. The game is also quite depressing on a number of accounts which is a bit different from the generally happy setting of the first Ori.

    Charc. Dev.-7.5/10
    Unfortunately there's not much out of charc. dev. since there isn't much time to develop anything. Ori is still the savior, having the courage to stand against a foe, compassion to help, and the sympathy to understand things from his opponent's point of view. Not much changed in that aspect from the first game to WoTW. I was surprised to see that the side characters had as much of a personality as they did. The Moki proved to be an enjoyable presence and the other NPCs really helped to create the feeling of a family that Ori was building. The antagonist also had a background that, while short, explained quite a bit and makes you step back and think about the justifications in some people's actions.

    Ending-8/10
    Part of the ending felt reused from the first Ori where you're supposed to feel bad for the antagonist in some ways. It's not necessarily a ding off the points since it felt like it was implemented nicely but I would have like to see something substantially different. I found the last boss fight to be really cool, where you have to constantly move, but I kinda cheesed Shriek using the rapid-fire, multi-shot bow. There was a plot twist at the very end which was a nice and welcome surprise that wraps everything up perfectly with no need for another game in the series.

    Difficulty-8/10
    The overall difficulty of the main story wasn't bad. But I say they should have nerfed the bow b/c if you had the mana you could destroy anything in seconds. Most of the side quests, achievements, and puzzles were very entertaining and gave a sense of accomplishment for completing them. Especially the missions that have Ori building a refuge for all of the creatures. I didn't think any of the missions were exceedingly hard, a few of them had you running around which was kind of annoying. There are a few ppl that say some areas were impossible and that ruined the game for them, they didn't even finish the b/c it was too hard. To them I say, you're just not persistent enough. I suck at most games, I've only ever played like 3 or 4 platformers and I got like 98% completion on Ori WoTW in about 15 hours. I played the Dark Souls series and some bosses would take me well over 25 attempts. With WoTW I found the challenge races to be the most frustrating part but even then the most attempts I took to complete them were around 7 or 8 tries.

    Soundtrack-10/10
    What else can I say except that it was phenomenal. For such a short game the soundtrack is huge and every piece reinforces the uniqueness of everything you come across. Emotional scenes were enhanced by many of the powerful pieces of the musical score. I especially enjoyed that they used a variation of the first Ori theme.

    Background noise-10/10
    The background noises like ambient sounds of water or the sound effects of Ori's attacks were done quite well. I have no complaints. The abilities that Ori uses sound powerful when you expect them to and graceful when they're supposed to. Everything has a sound when interacting with it as well. When walking across a wooden bridge you can hear it creak. Water, sand, and solid ground have their own unique terrain sound effects as you move over them.

    Price-8/10
    $30 for the base game I think is reasonably priced but I still hesitated. I would have bought it in an instant if it were just $5 cheaper but obviously I understand that any game worth playing can't be dirt cheap. Usually I say a game is worth its price when hours played = cost but WoTW made up for it in the other categories.

    Overall gameplay-9/10
    I enjoyed the vast majority of the game. IMO the ending could have been improved by doing something different from the first Ori and I would have like to see a more happy setting. I usually play more casual games to relax and chill, not to be immersed in deep thought and feels but WoTW was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it.    … Expand

    It's been literally half an hour since I turned the game off after my third attempt, and I still have my fingers shaking in sheer frustration.

    You took my enjoyment and the good time I've ben having and just sunk it into the toilet. You've lost a customer in me.

    Honestly, I don't know if and how this segment was playtested. But whoever designed it - ruined my experience over an entire game.
    I've played many hard games. Souls games, slashers. I played them on highest difficulty and I like going for platinum and all achievements. I'm not a casual gamer! However even if I was, it wouldn't have mattered. No gamer deserves a segment that makes you uninstall out of frustration and realization that you have better and more enjoyable things in your life than fighting the game controls and going through the same obstacle course a hundred of times over and over, failing each time after over a minute into it.

    No. I'm just done. 0/10. A game that can't be finished because of a single underdeveloped mechanic and a single segment built around it - does not deserve praise from me.
    This was a beautifully made game that decided that it can put an insane difficulty spike near the end, and that it can afford wasting my time and then losing me as a player forever.

    Only issues are that you may experience some periodical lag or frame drops, but it definitely isn't game-breaking. I had one time where the game crashed completely, and for many people that is a dealbreaker for some reason. I like giving companies the benefit of the doubt though, and I think it's fair to take into consideration the fact that although this was published by Microsoft, it was developed by a much smaller team and you should bear in mind that they had limited resources in making the game. But love was definitely poured into this project, and you can tell. This is one of 2020's must-play games so far. In my opinion the only good one that had come out this year so far up to the time of its release.    … Expand

    Magnificent continuation of the adventures of Ori spirit, a little ruined the impression of bad optimization at the start, but it does not change just a great game on all sides and a favorite story. I really hope that we will return to the world of Ori..

    One again blown away with the score, visuals and art direction. The combat has a couple tweaks that make it feel very fresh.
    I did suffer a couple of frame dips here and there on the Xbox Game Pass PC version of the game. Besides that, I highly recommend this game if you enjoyed the first!

Боевую систему также разбавили добавили множество возможностей для побед над врагами, к сожалению, мне не понять людей, которые остались недовольны недостатком активных способностей и то, что их нужно периодически менять, чтобы подстроиться под окружение и врагов. Уверен, что сделано это было лишь для максимальной вариативности ваших действий и возможности применения фантазии для уничтожения врагов, можно всю игру молотить всех лишь клинком, можно лишь луком, при желании можно использовать весь арсенал способностей и умений.
    Сюжет не перестаёт радовать, конечно в нём нет какой-то глубокой философии и подтекстов, какие например можно найти во втором Silent Hill, но тем не менее это всё же игра-сказка, она позволяет окунуться прекрасный мир населённый самыми разнообразными существами и позволяет самому ощутить себя немного ребёнком.
    Технически игра сделана, конечно, не идеально и имеется к чему придраться. В случае смерти может зареспавнить в текстуру с которой может быть проблематично выбраться, иногда случаются проблемы со звуком, это проблемы на которые жаловались многие, но сам столкнулся с гличами звука буквально 2-3 раза за прохождение игры. Даже имея далеко не самое топовое железо игра совсем погибает в лагах и просадках фпс, в игре по сути не имеется никаких настроек графики, но при этом они не сказать бы что обязательны. С другой стороны, если замылить игру и убрать все эффекты потеряются все краски и восхищения связанные с картинкой мира.
    Отдельно хотелось бы выделить музыкальное сопровождение, как и в первой части за него отвечал Gareth Coker. Музыка бесподобно дополняет игру и отлично подобрана к каждой локации, любому босс файту и катсценам. Абсолютно не надоедливые мелодии, даже ставя игру на паузу и слушая музыку, можно получать удовольствие от игры.
    Думаю, как и первая часть игра получит множество наград, включая игру года, просто потому что сейчас уже нет игр, которые могут вызывать такую палитру эмоций от прохождения, сюжета и музыкального сопровождения. Обязательно советую с прохождению Ori and The Will of the Wisps, даже никакие технические огрехи не смогут испортить впечатление от прохождение, в любом случае уверен в скором времени всё пофиксят и исправят.    … Expand

Whether you're running away from a boss chasing you out of an area (where they don't direct you whatsoever so you'll find yourself confused), fighting said boss, or just trying to navigate the game, it's all so tedious and they provide you with little to no information.

    Half the controls don't even work for most of the game, I was fighting a boss and it comes to a point where all you can do is melee him, yet the melee doesn't work on him? I'm standing a foot away, swinging a giant hammer, and... nothing, but if I move an inch forward, I take damage.

    Honestly, there's nothing enjoyable about this game, they downgraded Ori 1 and ruined it with a very poorly executed plot twist at the end that is only there for the sake of making you feel bad... which is again, 95% of the game. It's depressing, down on itself, and doesn't even attempt to be fun. They kill characters that you can't even hope to care for because they do it almost off the bat before any character-building whatsoever. I'm happy I have the Xbox Game Pass because if I spent $30 on a game that doesn't slightly work, I'd be pissed. Stay away from Ori & The Will of The Wisps, it's not as fun or charming as people paint it out to be, the storytelling is next to nonexistent, and it just tries to make you feel **** or depressed in literally every area of the game with little to no satisfaction once you clear an area.    … Expand

After the breathtaking adventure we had for the first time in the blind forest, moon studios prepare us for yet another amazing journey, or is it? The will of the wisps is a game that made me feel a lot of conflicts after I finished it. Even tho it has stunning visual, amazing story and storytelling, very decent and well-developed characters and a story that binds to the ambiance of the world are some of the many advantages this game has. The problem is that many times gamers tend to look at a game only a storytelling way ( which if this was the case this would take a solid 9+ ). But sadly I felt it's gameplay a bit disappointing. There were way too many similarities for example with Hollow Knight as they had adopted the trinkets system as well as the sword skills etc. This though is a very small issue that many might not even consider, what made me dislike a part of the game is repetitiveness in compare to the previous one ( blind forest ), as it is like we are visiting the same locations or the story is kinda the same ( without being though ) and in general, I felt that moon studios wanted to create something new but without venturing away from the safety of the Blind Forest. The game lacked some very major gameplay characteristics like simplicity, clarity, and bug-free.

    The game provides you with so much content that it is never properly explained how it can be used ( which in some cases it is good cause it allows you to explore it) in some others, it is just too much. I felt that there were way too many skills and weapons for you to wield even though there was a clear overpowered set where you could overpower most of the enemies in the game with ease. I truly used 1/4 of my entire arsenal in the throughout my entire gameplay. And so I think it lacks simplicity.

    Over that there were situations where fighting a boss was not hard only because the mechanics of the boss were hard, but because the environment around me did not help my eyes and my senses to follow ori. There were situations that I was taking damage and because of the many particles and many flashing lights on the screen I did not see that one of my dashes did not take action, I took some damage and did not know where ori is. This was happening occasionally and it is the first time I experience it so much in a game and I thought it would be right to be addressed.

    Lastly and sadly the game had a lot of minor and major bugs. Most of the were minor with little effect on the game itself and still, it was not appropriate to be playing a game of such range and still drowning in pools of mud without touching them, teleporting at death or having yourself trapped in a corner and eventually dying.

    My final verdict is that ori and the will of the wisps is still an incredible and amazing game. From visuals to storytelling it is a creation of masterpiece, but I believe that moon studios did not "invest" in the implementation of the game as much as they did on the storytelling of its adventure.    … Expand

    Ori is a 2.5D platformer with painted environments, it shouldn't be taxing for performance at all. The gameplay has potential but it currently isn't much fun to play in slow-motion every 15 seconds.

    Should we wait a few months for the inevitable 'Definitive Edition' rerelease, like the first game when it became unfixable?

Potkáváme zde různá stvořeni a svět díky tomu působí plně a živě. Je tu spousta vedlejších úkolů, které jsou prostě fajn a osvěžují průchod a back tracking po světě.

    Souboje s bossy. Těch je tu mnohem vice a jsou mnohem propracovanější. Nejvíc mi dala zabrat pavoučice a finální boss s jeho poslední fází byl dost agresiv :D

    Co se týče hlavního příběhu tak ten byl pro Oriho velmi osudový. Ale na druhou stranu pro „Hlavní“ vedlejší postavy už nějak nezbyl. Je pravda, že moc prostoru neměli ani minule. Tak tady ho bylo ještě méně :D Příběh byl hlavně o Orim a nových postavičkách z nové lokality.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all I had too many game breaking bugs where I had to restart the game. This didn't gave me the pleasure I had hoped for.

    But when the game was running it was the same old butter smooth game play I experienced from the blind forest. Personally I didn't like the big boss battles that much, because sometimes I feel like I cheesed the fight a little. If the boss abilities could be a little bit more telegraphed I would have enjoyed that better, I think.

    What i loved the most where the side missions. They have lots of personality and are a good way for world building. And the best side quest is the one where you help build a home for all the woodland creatures.

    The story is a bit simple, but that doesn't make it bad. Better to have a simple story that is told beautifully than a complex story that is told badly.

    And the last point of this review. The music and art. I have nothing other to says then 12 out of 10. They just did it again. Out of this world.

    All in all its a great game and I enjoyed the time with it. I am sure that the dev's are fixing the bugs right now. When those game breaking bugs are fixed I would give it a 9. But right now that's not the case.    … Expand

    Сказать что эта игра шедевральна - значит ничего не сказать. Каждый аспект игры великолепен: сюжет, подача, визуальный дизайн, музыкальное сопровождение, геймплей, атмосфера, вообще все, что можно упомянуть (кроме технической составляющей, но об этом позже).

Каждый аспект игры великолепен: сюжет, подача, визуальный дизайн, музыкальное сопровождение, геймплей, атмосфера, вообще все, что можно упомянуть (кроме технической составляющей, но об этом позже). Игра является прямым продолжением прошлой части и начинается практически сразу после ее окончания, но что самое важное - является красивым финалом всей этой истории. Игру не оставили недосказанной с открытым финалом для возможности доить ее дальше, пока она не выдохнется, игра закончена, точки расставлены, история этого мира рассказана. Что касается геймплея, то он слегка отличается от прошлой части. Боевая система теперь представляет из себя набор скилов, которые можно прокачивать, покупать и размещать в активные слоты (а можно и нет, на ваше усмотрение). Ровно по такому же принципу в игре присутствуют пассивные умения. Так же в игре появилось поселение, которое можно прокачать, что даст нам минимальные плюшки, и цепочка сайдквестов, которые выполняются у разных NPC. Во всем остальном - это тот же самые ори, метроидвания с сильным упором на платформинг, челленджи и нарратив. В целом меня абсолютно все нововведения порадовали и я все 20 часов с упоением проходил игру.

    Что касается технической составляющей... ну не обошлось без ложки дегтя. Не знаю в каком состоянии находится игра в момент прочтения обзора, но на старте оно было далеко от идеального. Я столкнулся лишь с небольшим количеством багов: пару раз игра зависала намертво, пару раз провалился под текстуры, проблема с иконкой одного сайдквеста, которая зависла на карте (она не исчезала до конца игры, это бесило меня невероятно). Что удивляет больше всего - это то, что игра вышла на "золото" еще в январе(!), чем moon studios занимались 3 месяца, для меня так и останется загадкой, а чем они занимаются на момент написания отзыва - для меня еще большая загадка. С релиза прошла почти неделя, а патчем даже не пахнет. В общем, не все так хорошо через неделю после релиза как хотелось бы.

    Резюмируя: игра просто фантастическая, даже проблемы с технической частью не смогли перебить тот восторг, который я получил после прохождения игры. Видно, что moon studios делали игру с большой любовью. Персонажи игры словно живые, к ним проникаешься, за них переживаешь, с ними грустно расставаться. Пройти дилогию Ori все равно, что прожить маленькую жизнь, настолько она полна эмоциями, переживаниями и событиями. В итоге 10/10, Ori and the Will of the Wisps к прохождению обязательна.    … Expand

Seriously, because the emotional moments come when you least expect it, its delivery is more powerful than the first game. So story-wise, this game is better.

    The graphics and colors are here to blow your brains out. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. From the simple animation of the grass, to the heavy explosion of blue lights of your abilities, everything is a total eyecandy. Even the creepy areas look majestic.

    The sound and music compliments the beautiful look of the game; they are just pure eargasm. I honestly was worried that the music won't be as amazing compared to the first game, but Moon Studios absolutely blew it out of the water; You can listen to the songs for hours and not get emotionally moved.

    Gameplay is amazing. For a game that looks so kids-friendly, the game can actually get really hard, just the way I like it. It requires you to have precious timing and aim of your movements on certain situations or else you end up dying. It's not impossible, but challenging enough to test your reflexes

Altogether the game is a lot of solid, high quality experience, raising the bar in 2D games, and a true delight to your eyes. I'm happy to have played it, but I'm just not sure whether it is the sequel I anticipated.
    As of 13.03.20, the game suffers a great number of glitches. Ori gets stuck in a number of places, gets teleported, the game freezes and on rare occasions hangs your PC dead. Most problems are tackled by loading a save or mashing buttons randomly. Also, the game may be working not quite right on Full HD displays as it is meant for Ultra HD, sometimes aliasing or shimmering may be seen.
    Ultimately, the thing I missed most while playing was the melancholic, lonely atmosphere. Reasons why I think it changed:
    - The locations. They have changed from a cozy, admirable magical forest into uncomfortable-to-horrifying environments, where you don't feel safe except for special safe zones and want to run faster. Also, although the map got bigger, it doesn't give you a lot of chance or wish to run through the same places many times to get used to them. The locations are always full of scary looking spikes and
    - Enemies, which are now often nightmare monsters instead of nice or funny-ish looking creatures.
    - Ori is now nearly a Rambo who is ready to fight anything nearly with his bare hands from the beginning.
    - The game design got more generic, with buying skills and weapons, autosave, a "motherbase"-thing, a lot of NPCs to talk to, bosses and things like that. Also, it gets repetitative and predictible, as all sections of the plot have similar structure.
    Storywise the game has not really matched the Blind Forest. The majority of the plot is farfetched and not closely as emotional, except for the ending which, although is not logically connected with the rest of the plot enough, left me completely devastated.
    A good thing is that the story is much richer, there are events happening and quests changing all the time compared to BF.
    Gameplaywise it's more sophisticated in a good way, ever-changing and never bores you, but a lot of tools are used only in special sections and/or are replaced with other ones later on. Also, if you've played through BF a couple times, this one will not be as challenging, but rather like another walkthrough of BF, but on a different map.    … Expand

    It’s a shining example of how to do a sequel. They kept the core of what made the original enjoyable while switching up just about everything they could. There are some elements I feel it did better, some where I feel the original did better with, but on the whole they feel like they’re on equal footing. If you want a game that’s more of an experience than simply something to kill time, if you want something that showcases how artistic games can be, if you want an action platformer with plenty of approaches to combat, I can’t recommend enough that you pick up Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Also Ori and the Blind Forest if you haven’t played it already.
