    Close to perfection. Great controls, breathtaking graphics, emotional somtimes a bit cheesy story. Great sound. Most times challenging but in the last third Ori is a bit too strong and has too much abilities to solve the jnr-sections and battle the enemies.
    Boss fights were awesome.

    What a game. Music: perfect. Gameplay: amazing. Improving on every single aspect of the first game. Story very emotional and well-written (although I still prefer the story arcs from the first game). A masterpiece of this genre.

After finishing this game I went and opened up Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Dead Cells and while I liked each of those games, I couldn't even play them, I'll have to wait because of how great Ori and the Will of the Wisps was. On to non-metroidvania style games for a while thanks to this banger.

    The one downside, when I first started Ori, I had some frame skips and freezing (day one). Luckily I saw a comment saying to hard restart xbox if you were having that problem and that fixed it!    … Expand

    This game is absolutely fantastic. I can see the people in the negative reviews complain it's a bit difficult. Some parts is, but that's some of the fun. It's not a game where you just go from start to finish without any challange. I completed it on normal after around 13 hours, still a lot to do if I want to go back and finish everything! The best game so far in 2020, easily.

    Jeeze, I honestly couldn't imagine them topping the first game but they did. They added so much depth to the combat system. They did just enough to keep it familiar looking while adding side quests, lovable NPCs, and fantastic puzzles. This game is a total blast and it was well worth the 5 year wait between titles. Moon Studios is a goldmine.

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

The whole game is bigger (like a lot bigger), gameplay a lot more varied, combat a lot more refined. There is greater diversity of biomes, environments, enemies and ofc greater variety of mechanics to play with. From presentation perspective - this is absolute piece of art - both visuals and OST are simply striking.

    It's hard to tell much more without spoiling things - so I will leave at that. The game is ESSENTIAL MUST PLAY and is likely making my TOP 5 of all time.

    I will be honest here - I expected a great game, but didn't expect it to surpass all, already high, expectations by that much.

    Ignore all negative reviews - those people obviously don't know what they're talking about. Probably COD victims taking on a game that is beyond them.    … 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.

    Hodně se druhy díl inspiroval od hry Hollow knight. Což je jenom dobře protože ta hra je pro mě další 10/10 ehm spoiler alert na hodnocení na konci :D Svět je tu mnohem plnější než byl první díl. 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.

    Za mě parádní hra. Jen mi nějak přijde, že jsem ji dohrál moc rychle (teď se koukám na steam a první díl mi tu píše 8hodin, to musí byt nějaká blbost ne ?) Přesto těch 16 hodin je fajnová délka a další 4 v tom podle mě ještě nechám.    … Expand

    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

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

    For the first hour of a regular game-play, it constantly seemed to me that the game was uncomfortable, the character moves/jumps amorphously, but then I got used to it and, quite normally, passed the most difficult places of the game, and traveling through locations was fast due to a "local parkour" without errors and damage.
    There are small complaints about the game, like self-repetitions, in a couple of places, but these are all trifles and nit-picking. Like I said - it's still a gaming masterpiece... which, in the second part, put an end to the history of our character Ori.    … Expand

    One of the best Metroidvania platforming skill based game ever, the perfect sequel, it expand and improve the previous chapter.
    A fascinating storytelling, wonderful art direction and a perfect gameplay make Ori one the best title in its genre, some technical issues with not performing PCs but nothing that could damage the experience.

По сравнению с первой частью игра заметно прогрессировала и добавилось множество NPC, которые не дают заскучать и добавляют свои краски и истории, пускай их квесты могут казаться где-то банальными, но в любом случае они дополняют историю всего мира игры и делают её еще более интересной. 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

    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.

    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.
