    Ori WotW has nailed it.

    It has taken the best features from its contemporary stunner and competitor Hollow Knight, capitalised and improved on its features to create one of the greatest Metroidvanias of all time. Silksong no longer only needs to live up to its predecessor, it has to live up to this, too. 20 hours in and I'm still enthralled and still sending screen captures of    Ori WotW has nailed it.

    20 hours in and I'm still enthralled and still sending screen captures of beautiful art and gameplay to friends and family.

    I also seem to be enjoying time trials for the first time too...

    For all you Zelda 2 fans, for all you Symphony of the Night devotees, this is one of the classics of the genre.

    Enjoy!    … Expand

    One of the best games I ever played. Competes with Zelda and Mario even though it's made by an indie company.

    Improves upon the already phenomenal Ori and the Blind Forest in meaningful ways. There are new combat and movement options, and the scope of the world is greatly expanded. The Switch port itself is very well done, with only a few minor issues. God-like music.

    Every criticism I could have directed at the first game has been addressed in this sequel.

    The combat is much improved and the game autosaves without penalising you.

    This is by far the best platformer and the best metroidvania ever made.

    I loved every second of my 40 hours playtime to complete it but wish it had been longer as most half decent gamers would probably complete it much quicker.

    You thought Ori and the Blind Forest was a great game? Just wait until you play Will of the Wisps. It takes everything that made Ori amazing and takes it to a whole other level. I can't even describe how beautiful the background looks, and I played on Switch! The effort put into making this port looking and playing this good is just amazing.

    A beautiful and emotional game from start to finish, with sublime gameplay, a graphic section and a spectacular soundtrack, although I did not like it and I was too saddened by the outcome of some characters, in addition to changes in skills with respect to the game. original, I must say that this game is a masterpiece.

    Incredible game with a wonderful OST. It’s a poetic game. A beautiful 2D game. For me it’s the true way 2D games have to take. I think that Mario and rayman have to use concepts set in this game.

    玩法和指引比前作好了很多，不再会出现前期因为不知道如何加点一直死打不走，后期随便飞的情况。对新人友好度高了很多，关卡设计也一看就懂。
    技能可以买，因为手柄只有几个按钮所以常用的技能一般只有3-4个，pc版本估计这一点会爽快很多？
    取消了加点和用能量存档的设计，改成了找商人升级和自动存档，这两个方面优化了很多。 剧情上相比前作不知所这一代的剧情云直白了不少，而且流程也长了一点，通关大概在15小时不到。 配乐和美术依旧是顶级的。 从结局来看似乎还会有下一部？    玩法和指引比前作好了很多，不再会出现前期因为不知道如何加点一直死打不走，后期随便飞的情况。对新人友好度高了很多，关卡设计也一看就懂。

    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.
