    (english trad below) Très bon jeu first party des studios de microsoft, ori and the will of the wisps m'aura fait voyagé durant cette période difficile. Je remercierai presque le confinement sans lequel je ne me serai jamais penché sur ce jeu.
    Graphismes et direction artistique incroyable, science du gameplay qui pourrait faire pâlir certains gros de l'industrie.
    Les points forts: un renouvellement jusqu'à la fin du jeu des mécaniques de gameplay, ajoutant à chaque fois de nouvelles possibilités, donnant un aspect metroidvania très intelligent car il est extrêmement important de revenir en arrière à plusieurs moments du jeu pour profiter au maximum de ce dernier. Des énigmes encore une fois très intelligentes qui se marient très bien avec le gameplay évolutif. Des boss impressionnants et les combats en arène complètement fous aux moments où on s'y attend le moins. Des cinématiques magnifiques et poignantes ou les plus sensibles ont de grandes chances de lâcher des larmes.
    Les points faibles: pour moi, il y en a, et pas des moindres, sinon il aurait pu avoir 10 dans mon cœur si je n'étais pas objectif. La difficulté en début de jeu est âpre, très âpre, et ce n'est pas pour me déplaire au contraire, cependant arrivé à la moitié du jeu, notre jauge de vie monte bien plus vite que la difficulté rendant la deuxième partie du jeu bien trop simple en contraste avec le début. Les 3 derniers boss sont vraiment décevants, surtout le boss final qui contient des checkpoints, quel dommage... Le bestiaire est assez limité, l'ajout de pics de difficultés comme des miniboss aurait pu augmenter la tension et la sensation de mérite. Certaines énigmes, surtout dans le premier tiers du jeu sont assez illisibles.

    Very good first party game from microsoft studios, ori and the will of the wisps will have made me travel during this difficult period. I will almost thank the confinement without which I would never have looked into this game.
    Graphics and incredible artistic direction, science of the gameplay which could make some big of the industry fade.
    The strong points: a renewal until the end of the game of gameplay mechanics, adding new possibilities each time, giving a very smart metroidvania aspect because it is extremely important to go back at several moments of the game to enjoy the maximum of the last. Once again very intelligent puzzles that blend very well with the evolving gameplay. Awesome bosses and crazy arena battles at times when you least expect it. Magnificent and poignant or more sensitive cutscenes are likely to drop tears.
    Weak points: for me, there are, and not least, otherwise he could have had 10 in my heart if I was not objective. The difficulty at the start of the game is harsh, very harsh, and it is not to displease me on the contrary, however arrived at the half of the game, our gauge of life goes up much faster than the difficulty making the second part of the game well too simple in contrast to the beginning. The last 3 bosses are really disappointing, especially the final boss which contains checkpoints, what a shame ... The bestiary is quite limited, adding peaks of difficulty like miniboss could have increased the tension and the feeling of merit. Some puzzles, especially in the first third of the game, are quite illegible.

    Nice graphics and interesting gameplay, BUT totally unplayable due to hundreds of glitches and hangs per minute. It's abusing the name of the first Ori game.
    Plus, the boss enemies are way too hard and it's impossible to change the difficulty mid-game.
    Very frustrating experience playing this game with my kid and being stuck on a boss for weeks..

At time the game could load slow or have some rough glitches that made besting bosses impossible. I’m sure those will be fixed. I was playing on the Xbox one x as well so I’m sure the older gens will be even more rough. This said it cannot take away from my perfect score. This is a top 5 game on my list.

The only thing that was a little negative was the bugs in this game. The game would freeze from time to time during gameplay, but other than that i'm going to miss ori since moon studio's is making something new beside ori. I reallyjust beaten this game.

    Buggy. Following from such a gorgeous, simple yet deceptively tricky in parts platformer, they’ve clearly followed the tried and true formula of “More of the same, with upgrades”.
    Which is great, but to release such a bug riddled sequel is unforgivable in these times, with such a simple game.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a sequel that does justice to its predecessor. I am not looking for Ori to re-invent the wheel but here they kept the platforming strategy and spiced it up with some quality combat.

    My favorite part of the game is the world-building and story progression. The art style and environment beg to be explored and really instill a sense of child-like adventure
    Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a sequel that does justice to its predecessor. I am not looking for Ori to re-invent the wheel but here they kept the platforming strategy and spiced it up with some quality combat.

    My favorite part of the game is the world-building and story progression. The art style and environment beg to be explored and really instill a sense of child-like adventure and excitement. The kind of feeling you got as a kid when you explored Hyrule.

    The difficulty ramps up slowly but surely as the game progresses but you have so many tools at your disposal and the controls are so tight that it's easy to master the skills needed to never feel stuck. Furthermore, the puzzles flow very nicely and it makes the game very methodical as well as rhythmic.

    The soundtrack accompanies you along the journey and really brought out so many emotions. I felt happiness, grief, excitement, and fear as the game progressed and I'm going to need a few days to process the ending.

    I look forward to seeing what other masterpieces the game studio releases in the future.

I never got into the first game because I got messed up between playing the Enhanced Ed and the standard and never just sat down and learned just how tight these game are. I am really annoyed I never game Ori one the time it deserves, cause Ori is clearly a step up.
    This game should be considered Xbox's Mario as in many ways its on par with Marios best platformers, but it probably isn't exclusive so I guess it wouldn't really be like Xbox Mario.
    The jumping and bashing and twirling, ALL movement and attacks feel soooo satisfying in Ori 2 , there's no way to describe it. Even hour in if your getting bored with a weapon you can buy a new one and it exciting all over again.
    There are some negatives, one, would be that the game isn't very clear on what to do. So there is often frustration when you are just lost and wandering looking for your objective. The only other negatives could also be positives. In HDR the game is ridiculously gorgeous, but I found the brights being so bright and blinding and the darks hindering my vision to be an issues, the game is still beautiful without HDR , it's just a different beauty. The other thing is the music, its insanely good, so good it often pulled me out of the game, so I ended up turning it off as soon as I had heard the latest track and the sound effects are sooo good I didn't want them covered by the music. These are mostly personal gripes and probably would not affect most people.
    The game is amazing, and that's coming from someone who is very burnt out on sidescrollers after my childhood was spent playing the same level 10000 times to beat a game. But game like this and Blood Stained and Salt and Sanctuary and Hollow Knight really breath new life into the genres. Pixel art is great and all, but compared to the art in the games mentioned there just no comparison, no pixel art can look as good as these games and they deserve more credit. This art take way more time to bring to life, but is so much more worth it, I really hope Dead Cells 2 gets un updated art style after playing Ori Will of the Wisps, damn amazing game!!!

    Anybody who rated this game a 10 clearly either hasn't played it, or just rated it based on a trailer.

    Xbox One X performance is absolutely atrocious. The Day 1 patch was unable to fix the constant slowdowns to 5FPS whenever there is intense lighting on-screen (which is often). The physics are very buggy, they randomly glitch-out requiring a full restart of the game. Ori is a 2.5D

    The physics are very buggy, they randomly glitch-out requiring a full restart of the game.
    Ori is a 2.5D platformer with painted environments, it shouldn't be taxing for performance at all. The gameplay has potential but it currently isn't much fun to play in slow-motion every 15 seconds.

    Should we wait a few months for the inevitable 'Definitive Edition' rerelease, like the first game when it became unfixable?

    The story is good and there is potential for fun but it's currently very broken. Wait for patches / rerelease in a few months.

    Incredible game, but PLEASE fix the performance issues ASAP. Terrible slowdowns, multiple-second freezes and straight up crashes are NOT ACCEPTABLE in a finished game from a first-party studio and ruin this beautiful experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 10/10 must play. It’s emotional, thrilling, has intense and immersive combat and escapes, ruthless bosses, gripping and fluentgameplay and movement, and for what you’re paying you get so much out of it. Game of the year 2020.

    However there are (minor) gameplay and stability issues. Although this is a must play/buy if you’re not over the moon about this game and just want to try it out, wait until those little problems have been solved then you will have a blast.

    One of the best metroidvania games I have played in a while the game is beautiful from start to end the only reason I have not given 10/10 is because the game suffers from bad lag that crashed the game a few times but when that gets patched it will be a 10 out of 10 for me

    Too buggy to play. Really disappointed. Was looking forward to this for a long time. Performance is terrible on the Xbox One. Selecting the map takes several second. The game plays in slow motion. Talking to characters freezes the game until you quit and re-open.

    Ori and the will of the wisps è un sogno divenuto realtà.
    Uno dei giochi che più attendevo di quest'anno e devo dire che non mi ha deluso.
    Nonostante il comparto tecnico sia altalenante (con freeze e tempi di caricamento lenti anche solo per aprire la mappa di gioco) Ori offre un esperienza impegnativa e al tempo stesso divertente e soddisfacente, accompagnata da una colonna sonora

    Então, Ori é o melhor exclusivo do Xbox e não há quem diga o contrário. The Last Of Us não é nada perto da obra prima que é Ori, em si.
    Eu ainda estou zerando Ori And The Will Of The Wisps, mas pelo pouco que joguei já posso dizer que é um ótimo jogo, igual ao primeiro game da franquia. Enfim, é isso.

    I normaly play more ego-shooter or mmo like games. I thought i try ori since it is in the microsoft game pass and i am glad that i did. Honestyl, this game has one of the most beautiful soundtracks and atmospheres that i saw in the last couple years. I strongly recommend Ori and the will of the Whisps to everyone. I'll now go and play Ori and the blind forrest....

    Best game of 2020 so far.
    People saying it has bugs/crashes are playing on Chinese crap that probably cost them $5.

    If you don't want to spend $30 to purchase this game you can get it for $1 on Xbox Gamepass Ultimate. (You also get 200+ games during your 3 month subscription time.)

    Obra maestra.
    La relación narrativa/jugabilidad/sonido/arte es perfecta de inicio a fin, Mejora a la primera parte y se adapta a las exigencias de los fans del género "metroidvania" añadiendo más contenido al mundo. Me alegra decir que éste es el nuevo buque insignia de Moon Studios, y Ori and the Will of the Wisps es a partir de ahora un clásico instantáneo de Xbox.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps may not feel as vital as the original did when it debuted, but fans of the genre would be foolish to overlook the sequel. Its visual style, themes, and engrossing score distinguish it from others in its space. Its fluid sense of movement and fast-paced combat make it a blast to play, with plenty of hidden challenges to uncover. Ori and the Will of the Wisps will please fans of the original and anyone looking for an engrossing adventure steeped in natural mystery and wonder.

    I actually haven’t played the first Ori so I can’t compare the two nor do I have a bias based on how much I enjoyed the previous installment. I would wait for some patches before attempting this game. It’s excellent, there’s no doubt about it, but when things don’t work you become robbed of the experience. Still, it’s better than most platformers out there, even with the issues.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps is everything you could want from a sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest. It isn’t a revolutionary new step forward for the series by any means, but it does an excellent job of building upon all the core concepts that made Ori and the Blind Forest so fantastic, whilst also adding enough new features to justify its title as a sequel, rather than an additional DLC expansion. If you haven’t played through Ori and the Blind Forest (you should), Ori and the Will of the Wisps is worth jumping into regardless, as it polishes the Ori formula to a shine and is an incredible experience in its own right.
