    游戏确实是个好游戏，但是bug是真得多。后期血条太长，过于简单，各种闪退bug穿模bug和任务进度强行回溯的bug，真的很烦。游戏可以打9.5分我认为目前只逊于bloodstain，加上bug8分不能再多了

    A simple history that leads to a memorable ending and pleasant gameplay that captivate the player.
    Unfortunately, i had some issues of frame rate drops playing on xbox one, nevertheless, one of the best platform games of the generation.

The artwork is beautiful and the music complements whatever Ori is going through nicely. If you aren't playing this game you're missing out on one of the best titles Microsoft has put out in years, although to be fair the bar isn't that high.

    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

    Fantistic art, fantastic music, fantastic graphic and amazing level design. The game is almost perfect, without taking the story and narrative into consideration. The contradiction of story and game progress is depressing.

    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.

    A complete masterpiece, everything it does it's perfectly done, the visuals, the music, the story, and more importantly, the gameplay, the controls and movement feels so nice and polished and the combat is completely improved from the last game, totally deserving of a 10

    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.

    Easily the best metroidvania I have ever played, level design is amazing, the music is great and really makes the experience of playing this even better. This game took everything that Blind Forest did well and made it even better, absolutely a must-play.

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

I problemi tecnici e un bilanciamento della difficoltà non proprio equilibrato( caratteristica che può scoraggiare molti nelle fasi finali) accompagnano altri aspetti dalla realizzazione ottima. Moon Studios ha svolto diligentemente il compito di equilibrare, all'interno di questo sequel, le novità e lo stile che ha pesantemente caratterizzato il precedente titolo. Ciò che ci si trova tra le mani rimane un metroidvania di tutto rispetto, non originale ma sicuramente assai solido, che conferma il team di Moon Studios come uno di quelli più degni d’attenzione sulla piazza. In conclusione il titolo, considerando anche il suo inserimento fin dal day one nel catalogo di Xbox Game Pass, rimane sicuramente un must have per i possessori di piattaforme Microsoft e un videogioco da giocare anche solo per cultura videoludica.… Expand

    The perfect second part for the first Ori. Level design, art and, at first place, the AMAZING soundtrack make this game a 10/10 for me. This is literally the best soundtrack I've heard on a videogame. By itself, it tells all the story.
    Also, story is simple but very well executed, with some surprises. Just buy the game and play it to enjoy an amazing, beautiful and very emotional experience.

    This game is amazing in all sections. Since the first minute, you feel the emotions with the music, the colors, the movement; all is a true painting in movement. The battle system is a great evolution, the progression system now is nicer.

    The great improvement in this game is the inclusion of secondary missions and a greater map to explore, plus real boss battles. I must be fair and    This game is amazing in all sections.

    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.
