    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.

    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

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.

    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.

    A metrovania game close to art.

    The delicate expression of light and the magnificent orchestra's BGM gave us a wonderful experience, a unique feature of this game that is hard to find in other games. As a person who has played a similar game Hollowknight of the same genre, the action of the game is relatively lacking, but it is a sufficient complement in many other ways.

    Let's examine this sweet game, which I think Metroidvania lovers should definitely try, in terms of gameplay, art design and story.

    First of all, the game organized a gameplay without leaving the metroidvania classification. You cannot go to certain places, after unlocking some abilities, you can go back and continue exploring. So, did the game lead you to exploration? Yeah. The rewards you receive as a result of exploration in the game do not affect your game to such an extent that it does not affect them at all. We can say it in its full form. Apart from that, the fighting mechanics are designed to leave a very sweet taste in the mouth. There are absolutely no small enemies that you will have to struggle with, and after a certain point they are like a chore.

    The most important point of the game is the atmosphere. Together with both the image and the music, this game is perhaps one of the best games of all time. First of all, let's say that the music is handled in accordance with the theme of each episode. As soon as I finished the game, I searched the internet for their music. Images and animations, on the other hand, look like they were made by a master. It has a simple yet inclusive atmosphere, away from the crazy trend we call "fancy" that has emerged recently. The game has also been so determined about animations. There are neither animations that you hate to see because they draw your attention too much, nor "why is there no animation here?" sequences you mentioned. This art design that doesn't want you to leave the game is definitely commendable.

    The story of the game is definitely forgotten, besides the two factors we just mentioned. Although the game reminds us of our purpose at moderate intervals, it is not possible to remember it unless the story is too deep in this atmosphere and gameplay. The story isn't very deep either. The story of this game is a continuation of the previous game, so I say play the previous one, even if you are not going to play it, check out a summary.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps, which was given as a very good answer to the question of how Triple A would be a metroidvania game, is absolutely a masterpiece.

    Beautiful game. In many ways the game is very similair to the first one. But it manages to improve in all aspects. Better characters, better level design, better gameplay and even more emotional beats I'd say. Very enjoyable and short game!

    Great game. Great story. Great visuals. Great music. Great map. Great skills. Great mechanics.

    The only reason I don't give this masterpiece a 10/10 is because sometimes I had to rely on google to find out where to go - it was frustrating to go around the whole map to see where can I go only and immersion-breaking to have to go online for the answer. Still, when I knew what to do, it

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps - превосходное продолжение истории о приключениях Ори на втором острове Нивен.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps - превосходное продолжение истории о приключениях Ори на втором острове Нивен.
    Пройдя игру за 18 часов и записав по ней прохождение, я скажу одно:
    не смотря на то что у меня были проблемы со звуком, игра мне понравилось во всех аспектах игры начиная с повествования истории и заканчивая геймплеем. По сравнении с первой частью, вторая часть превзошла первую очень сильно. Игра постоянно затягивала своей красотой каждой локации и приятной музыкой, которую хочется слушать вновь и вновь.
    В некоторых моментах эта игра заставит даже самого каменного человека зареветь от переживания главным героям игры.
    Я лично не сдерживался и держал рядом с собой носовой платок на всякий случай.
    Если вам кто то скажет что игра полное коричневое пятно и будет отговаривать от покупки игры, не слушайте его и молча берите и играйте, ни за что не пожалеете о потраченных 515 рублях.
    Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an excellent continuation of the story of Ori's adventures on the second island of Niven.
    Having completed the game in 18 hours and recorded a walkthrough, I will say one thing:
    despite the fact that I had problems with the sound, I liked the game in all aspects of the game from the narrative of the story to the gameplay. Compared to the first part, the second part surpassed the first very much. The game was constantly addictive with its beauty of each location and pleasant music that you want to listen to again and again.
    In some moments, this game will make even the most stone man roar with the experience of the main characters of the game.
    I personally didn't hold back and kept a handkerchief next to me just in case.
    If someone tells you that the game is a complete brown spot and will dissuade you from buying the game, do not listen to him and silently take and play, you will never regret the 515 rubles spent.

    I Have played this game 5 times and it is my favorite game.

    Gameplay

    The game takes the platforming and combat from the previous game and enhances and expands on it perfectly. Many of the similar platforming techniques are followed over as well as new additions. The additions make for great platforming that feels satisfying and controls so well that exploring is something sought after rather than something of tedium. The combat is massively expanded in this game with a plethora of different weapons that can be selected and placed on 3 different ability slots, each weapon has a unique feel that is beneficial in different circumstances. I personally really liked the hammer which felt really great to use even at the trade off of being a bit slower. It also features a really fun upgrade that makes it an even better weapon that works very well. The combat in the game is more traditional of a 2d metroidvania but with much more diversity. There is also the addition of boss fights which test combat and are very unique and well made, these are definite highlights of the game. The exploration is greatly enhanced here as each area is somehow even more beautiful than the first game and will need to be revisited as you unlock more abilities, more so than the previous game and bringing it more inline with a traditional metroidvania. The levels also change as you accomplish certain aspects of the story, you start in the beginning area at night time and during a storm which will completely change after a bit of progress to being during the day, this change makes the world feel more alive and grounds the story in time more, it also makes for a better experience when retraversing the previous areas as is quite common. In complete difference from the first game the sequel features many creatures that you will meet and speak with that populate the world and add to the worldbuilding, many of these creatures will try to help you on your journey and are where you can acquire more weapons and upgrades, some of these characters also have quests you can do to unlock even more things and that each tell their own little story. The characters also serve as a way to tell some exposition as characters give their tale of how they came to be and their world came to be. Another new addition is the shard system, this system is very similar to the charm system from Hollow Knight and allows the player to prioritize different things, many shards will help to increase survivability or will increase your damage dealt in exchange for being dealt increased damage. Certain shards work only at high or low health which leads to strategizing how often to heal and where to be at with health. You start with 3 slots for shards but can increase this number by completing combat shrines which serve as a little arena with a few waves that feature the various enemies found in their respective area. Another new addition is spirit trials, these are mini platforming based speedruns that offer spirit light for completing under a certain time, spirit light is the currency used to purchase abilities and upgrades. Each of these features blends together to create a perfect gameplay experience that keeps the player engaged the entire game and offers a variety of options for how to play the game.

    Story

    The story follows Ori in the immediate aftermath of the first game. The new owl has hatched named Ku and struggles with an injured wing to fly, using the feather from the first game Naru, Gumo and Ori fashion Ku a makeshift wing that works to fly. The majority of the story finds Ori searching to be reunited with Ku and eventually to help restore the light to a land that has lost it.

    Graphics

    Somehow this game is even more beautiful than the first one. The artwork of the backgrounds is simply insane once again and is even better in this one. Each background could be a painting in its own right. One of my complaints with the first game was that the backgrounds sometimes blocked enemies, in this one that is no longer the case and the backgrounds got even better. A huge improvement of this game is character designs, with much more important story characters there's no shortage of well designed characters and different ones, each of the main ones feels unique and looks great, the Moki’s especially look incredible.

    Soundtrack

    The soundtrack simply outdoes itself and right from the prologue, the song Ku’s First Flight is an incredible piece that’s intensity builds in tune with Ku flying that serves as an introduction to the new world. The track from the first area, A Shine Upon Inkwater Marsh is beautiful and my favorite track of the game. The songs from the escape sequences are even more intense than the first game. Boss fight themes are great and fit well with the fight.

    Conclusion

    This game is a masterpiece, there is no other way to describe it. If you like metroidvanias or platformers buy it, or play it on gamepass.

    Didn't play the first one, but I enjoyed WotW very much, running flawlessly on a well-powered PC with a XONE Controller. Music and sound are fantastic, level design is clever, graphics and animations are perfectly smooth. The story was just okay, but I didn't play because of that. On "easy" it was just the right casual difficulty for me, making me feel insanely agile after I aquired most of the skills. I particularly enjoyed the combat, which lets you freely express your preferred style. You become a true ninja ghost squirrel by the end.

    However, there was a lot of switching back and forth between the skills, and I didn't use half of them at all. When my girlfriend played she was missing clearer instructions of what to do next. Sometimes it was also not clear to her if it was her skills or the design that would not let her reach a ledge. There could have been a tutorial moki or something that teaches you certain jump choreos. I also would not mind to have a little bit more playtime. The sandworm chase was already patched by the time I played, I actually made it in my second try. After all, this game definitely is a masterpiece.

    IMMORTAL OAK

    INTRODUCTION:
    Ori and the Will of the Wisps was developed by Moon Studios and released in March 2020. As the sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest, it boasts improvements in all aspects, both technically and creatively, enhancing the beauty of an already excellent title. The game has been fully completed at 100%.

    FIRST STEPS:
    The introduction of Ori and the Will of the Wisps consists of short playable sequences interspersed with scenes illustrating the growth of Ori and Ku, the young owl born after the events of the first chapter. These scenes provide information about the characters of Ori and Ku for those who haven't played the first game and showcase their development for those who have. Moreover, the small movement phases give players a taste of what the gameplay will be like throughout the game. Once the introductory sequence is completed, the player finds themselves alone, fighting the corruption that afflicts the forest of Niwen, and a good set of skills is essential to survive and progress in the story. Finally, during the save creation, players can select the difficulty level, which is divided into three stages, with pretty huge gaps.

    ESCAPING FROM "THINGS":
    The gameplay of Ori and the Will of the Wisps is that of a pure Metroidvania, a genre based on the progression of the game map through power-ups found at different points in the story. This ensures that players have several hours of exploration to overcome previously inaccessible paths. Additionally, the gameplay is fast-paced and frenetic thanks to various obtainable dashes. Like the first game, there will be various power-ups, with at least one in each game area, allowing players to explore hidden portions of the map. However, this second installment adds several complexities not present in the first one, incorporating more distinct RPG elements. Players can equip up to 3 usable abilities with different effects, both for combat and exploration. These abilities can be freely swapped at any time without cost, and the game freezes to simplify this exchange. There are also several equipable perks available from the pause menu, which provide effective buffs to Ori's combat skills or sustenance. Passive upgrades that unlock through game progression are also present. A hub with various interactable NPCs has been introduced, useful for purchasing and upgrading the aforementioned abilities. It is also designed to accommodate different secondary quests that provide in-game currency, damage and sustenance upgrades, as well as further development of the game's storyline. One of the most appreciated mechanics from the first game, the enemy chase scenes, has been multiplied and greatly improved, adding exciting variety to the gameplay. Finally, true bosses with unique mechanics and designs have been added.

    THE RADIANCE:
    The most impressive and carefully crafted aspect of this game is undoubtedly its graphics and the aesthetics of its game world. Every detail, be it animations, backgrounds, cutscenes, or enemies, is meticulously designed. In each game environment, players can pause to admire the background and discover an infinite number of details. The use of colors to evoke certain sensations is carefully crafted, with darker and gloomier areas adorned with vibrant colors to provide a sense of tranquility for players, and tranquil areas where formidable enemies lurk, easily predictable thanks to the game map's design. The menus themselves reveal the passion with which this game was developed, with drawings and illustrations that update during gameplay in response to encountered events. The addition of three-dimensional cutscenes further showcases the studio's skill in pushing their boundaries, bringing to life an astonishing title like this.

    THE CALL OF THE FOREST:
    The soundtrack of this game is impressive and surpasses that of its predecessor, incorporating different styles and evolving the ones already used. The attention to sound effects perfectly complements what has been described for the aesthetic aspect.

    BUT WHY A 9?

    PROS:
    The merits of this game are so numerous that they are indescribable in such few characters. This is one of those reasons to purchase a console, as it was exclusive for years. It is an almost flawless title that reaches aesthetic levels capable of setting a very high bar in the 2D platforming landscape.

    CONS:
    The drawbacks are extremely limited. They could be the limited number of different enemies or the potential bugs that can be encountered. The lack of a true endgame area, present in the first game, can also be considered a con. Additionally, the inspiration from Hollow Knight could be seen as a downside since various features, such as the amulets, are clearly influenced. Lastly, due to the game's frenetic pace, combat can often become chaotic and it is easy to take damage without realizing it.

    RATING:
    Gameplay: 9,5
    Music: 9,5
    Story: 8,5
    Exploration: 9,5

    Ori and the Will of The Wisps es un juegazo. Si ya Ori and the Blind Forest era un juego sobresaliente, esta secuela dice "quien sos" y mejora en todo lo mejorable a su precuela. Si bien al principio, puede sentirse un poco secuela continuista, a lo largo de la aventura te das cuenta de que es algo distinto, pero en el mismo universo. Vamos a desgranar todo.

    El mapa de su precuela no terminó de encantarme. Pues este juego soluciona todos los problemas que mencioné (como la mucha linealidad para un metroidvania) y añade un montón de cosas por hacer. Y sí, son UN MONTÓN. En el mapa, habrá NPCs que tendrán distintas funciones: algunos mandarán "rumores" (que son unas mini misiones secundarias de ver un lugar), otros te darán mejoras u objetos a cambio de dinero y otros tendrán funciones muy marcadas, como venderte mapas, darte misiones secundarias o darte cosas a cambio de otra moneda. Solo con esto, ya mejoran muchísimo el mapa, porque te dan a conocer que hay más gente. Además, hay una especie de santuarios en los que por pruebas te dan dinero, que expande más la exploración.

    Jugablemente, es increíble. Los controles son igual de fluidos que los de su precuela, pero añade una cantidad de mecánicas a las del juego base, que acostumbrarse al anterior después de haberlo jugado será muy difícil. Son muy variadas y consiguen que tanto el movimiento como el combate de este juego sean una maravilla. Esto sumado a una especie de sistema de amuletos como el de Hollow Knight, expande las posiblidades hasta el infinito.

    Las boss-fights son muy buenas, pero hay muy pocas. Todas siguen un sistema parecido (que no destriparé aquí) pero se sienten muy diferentes entre sí y son muy difíciles, por lo que el hecho de hacerlas bien, es un logro increíble. Las mazmorras se echan de menos, habiendo solo 2 en todo el juego pero las que hay están diseñadas de manera excelente.

    Audiovisualmente es lo único en lo que no se podía mejorar a la precuela. Es igual de bonito, tiene entornos muy variados de aspecto y de colores (diferenciando los elementos con colores característicos) y el diseño de personajes, enemigos y jefes es increíble. La OST es para ir a la casa de cada uno de los compositores y felicitarles individualmente. Algunas canciones son obras de arte que llegan al corazón.

    Si bien la historia no es lo que más destaca del juego, está bastante bien. Tiene algún giro que nadie se esperaría y que a algunos podría llegar a sacarles lagrimillas. Toca temas muy parecidos a los de la precuela, y hace una narrativa bastante buena.

    Resumiendo, Ori and the Will of the Wisps es un juegazo (casi obra maestra) que perfecciona a su precuela en todo lo perfeccionable que tenía. Recomendadísimo

    A beautiful sequel to the first part that has kept the wonderful unique style and a little more pumped up the effects. Lighting, drawing, animation and sound impress all the same as before, and create a unique atmosphere for each location. In the winter one you feel the cold, and in the summer one you feel the warmth of the sun and tranquility.

    An honest second installment, which is missing only the courage to leave the traditional dogmas of the genre and try something new. [Issue#303]

    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.

    Its moments of brilliance are worth experiencing, but they shouldn't blind anyone to the shortcomings of a sequel that, underneath that beautiful surface, is as frustratingly flawed as the first. [Issue#346, p.98]
