    A masterpiece. Challenging, exciting, approachable and most of all beautiful all in the same game.

    Where this game really shines, is in its art direction. From music to environment, this game oozes that feeling of natural fantasy. Couple that with crisp game-play, multiple visually stunning settings, and you have a sequel that lives up to, and in my mind surpasses, even its acclaimed predecessor.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps takes the metroidvania genre to new heights. The visuals are stunning, and there is so much variety in how the world looks and feels.

The visuals are stunning, and there is so much variety in how the world looks and feels. The combat is much deeper than in the first game, as Ori now has a sword, and a bow and arrow, along with other tools for combat at her disposal. This new depth to the combat is complemented by enemies that are beautifully designed and useful in the context of the game. The world of Ori and the Will of the Wisps feels so alive, especially compared to the first one. There are characters that will you encounter throughout your journey that can give you side quests and new options for combat. The mechanics that are introduced throughout the game are, for the most part, extremely satisfying to play with, however some of them are frustrating and feel unnecessary. Even without any of these mechanics, Ori moves so fluidly that the game can be hard to put down. Backing all of this fun gameplay is a magnificent story, a killer soundtrack, and heartwarming characters. Although some sections of the game are less fun and more frustrating than others, for the most part, it is back to back quality.… Expand

    Haven't seen a more beautiful game. Amazing music, amazing effects and i felt so attached to the story throughout the game recommended to play on Xbox Series X at 6K mode. Just si sharp and treat to watch.

Gráficamente es el juego más bonito que he visto en mi vida, un cuadro en movimiento, la banda sonora es ESPECTACULAR y jugablemente es lo más satisfactorio y preciso que he podido jugar en los 15 años que llevo en esto. Mejora en TODO al original, que me parecía de lo mejorcito de la década, aunque pierda quizá un poco de la esencia que tenía el primero, pero es mucho más juego. El único punto malo que le puedo poner al juego es que iba fatal en xbox one donde yo lo jugué, pero al poco lo arreglaron y va de cine en todos los lados ya.

    Improves upon the first (wonderful) game in almost every aspect. Wonderful gameplay, story, art direction and soundtrack. Ori has it all 9.5/10.

    N.B. I played this at launch on a Xbox One and there were some small technical problems - these have since been fixed. Regardless of those issues it is still in my very short list for game of the year.

    This game is a gem. I finished 100% an can highly recommend to play this game.
    The story killed me and even made my cry a little.
    Compared to Ori and the Blind Forest, you have much more abilities and skills, so you have more opportunities for your playstyle. You need already good skill in the early game.
    The graphics and the sounds are breathtaking as well.

    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.
