    This game is likely the worst excuse for a platformer there is. No quality of life, no changing difficulty, no enjoyability, and simply no direction. Once you get lost, you are stuck. There is no way to use ingenuity to overcome obstacles; you are stuck mashing buttons or playing a pre-school like game of hit and dodge. Avoid this waste of time.

    Also ich finde das Spiel schrecklich unzwar an der Steuerung, und der Grafik. Man hätte da viel mehr rausholen können. Aber naja Chance vertan 40 € fürn Arsch. Da einzige was gut ist sind die Zwischensequenzen sonst auch nichts. Also total schlecht das Spiel.

    No where near as good as the original. Assumes you've already played the original and familiar with controls, despite the original coming out 5 years ago. No directions and tutorial, confusing as hell for a casual gamer.

    The game is broken. The grab-function ceased to work after a couple of hours.

    They changed the saving system since the first game and it completely ruins the game. The single best feature of the first game was that you could save whenever you wanted as long as there were no enemies immediately present. This means as soon as you got to a safe spot after completing a difficult section, you could save and avoid having to repeat yourself.

This means as soon as you got to a safe spot after completing a difficult section, you could save and avoid having to repeat yourself. This game replaced that with sporadic auto save spots. This was a BIG downgrade. Been stuck on the same section for the last 30 minutes? Finally manage to complete it? You better pray that there happens to be an auto save spot at the end of it otherwise one missed jump and you're back to where you were 30 minutes ago. Bad. Bad. Bad.… Expand

    One of the most beautiful and stupid platformers i'he ever played. The gameplay is completely boring, continuous waiting for platforms and dodging projectiles. Masturbation and a waste of time.

    Детская бродилка, графика прикольная но не более, чисто для детей купить можно, а для себя лучше что то другое поискать.
    Управление ну какое-то ватное было, играл на средних и было 60фпс, звуки прикольные, когда играл на пк то у меня высвечивались кнопки от хуановского контроллера(в подсказках)

    For adults it can be 9/10 for sure!

    But if it was planed to be played by kids (from age 7) it need to be easier! Much more easier! Also game is full of violence – please mark games [+12] – [+16], but not [+7] !!!

    Unbelievable scores. This game has reasonably tight controls and nothing else. Just a boring game experience. I was bored from the get go. I played for about an hour and still just boring. I don't rate as a compilation of score for graphics, sound, gameplay etc If I spend money and don't want to play it, it's of zero value to me. Therefore zero score.

    While the Nintendo Switch has seen its fair share of Metroidvania titles over its four-year run, Ori and the Will of the Wisps stands strong as one of its best. While the original was already a memorable adventure, Ori and the Will of the Wisps manages to make improvements whilst dazzling with a visual look that somehow manages to be even more eye-catching than before.

    Another world - rich in content - in the palm of your hand. Or is a game that raises the bar for the genre. Absolutely enchanting. [Issue #2, p.64]

    If you don't have Xbox or PC, or simply wanna enjoy it in portable mode, Ori and the Will of the Wisps it's one of the greatest adventures of 2020, and now arrives in a neat physical edition that will let you treasure it with other extras like the ost and a bunch of postcards. A great conversion of a superb metroidvania.
