    Was this supposed to be the game to beat all platformers?
    Cause there are a lot of platformers better than this buggy mess

    La suite de l'orible étron premier du nom, l'étron indé caviar développé avec un peu plusd'argent que la moyenne des étrons indés et s'il ne s'agit pas d'un véritable indé (évidemment, c'est pas assez pixélisé) ellle en a tout l'esprit et la euh... "fraîcheur" ! parce que les indés, c'est frais sa mère, putain !

    Tellement frais que c'est toujours du "jeu" de plate-formes pourries,    La suite de l'orible étron premier du nom, l'étron indé caviar développé avec un peu plusd'argent que la moyenne des étrons indés et s'il ne s'agit pas d'un véritable indé (évidemment, c'est pas assez pixélisé) ellle en a tout l'esprit et la euh...

    Tellement frais que c'est toujours du "jeu" de plate-formes pourries, péraves et pouravenazes comme on en faisait depuis... euh l'antiquité informatique. Et bien entendu en 2D ou 2D et demi comme ici et en un peu plus de couleurs que l'étron indé standard, certes. Cela reste néanmoins super gnéééé avec une palette gnéééé, ce qui signifie un jeu de gnéééé...

    Car on dirige le petit lutin mongolien dans sa forêt de merde (je te raserais tout ça, moi, au bulldozer !) qui doit euh sauver la forêt, tu vois et aider sa copine la chouette ou un truc dans le genre bien niais parce que tout est super niais ici, on se croirait dans un jeu japoniais ! sauf que pour une fois, ils n'ont rien à voir avec ça, non, non.

    Donc, en résumé, c'est la suite daubée habituelle de la daube initiale sans aucun intérêt sauf pour joueurs neuneus évidemment. Et un peu nais sur les bords.    … Expand

    What i’ve learned is to never rate a game based on trailers and marketing.
    This game is a buggy, not so visually appealing mess.
    I’d rather play an EA game for 10 hours than buy this. I regret my purchase

    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.

    Graphics are bad compared to first game and yes I do know that this is all like hand drawn but when I turn first game it's not blurry and background parts not a low-poly 2D cartoons, really disappointed by this degradation. Also encountered few bugs and some annoying ones like Ori being twitching like a sausage on a barbecue when he stands still on a fallen trees and some other textures.Graphics are bad compared to first game and yes I do know that this is all like hand drawn but when I turn first game it's not blurry and background parts not a low-poly 2D cartoons, really disappointed by this degradation.

    I guess they could fix that little bugs but graphics I thinks impossible to fix if they already use highest resolution of them. This really ruined my first expression but I'll try to continue to play.

    PS: also apparentely it won't allow you to use Shadowplay so you need to use their Game Bar, that is not working correctly and won't record you boss fights etc...    … Expand

    Un poco decepcionado con este juego, supongo que esperaba mucho más tras leer algunas críticas. En cuanto a diseño artístico el juego es muy bonito, pero jugablemente otros juegos del estilo, como Hollow Knight o incluso Celeste me parece que están muy por encima.

    Much like the first game, a marvel of a masterpiece. Expands on so much in this sequel. If you like Metroid-like platformers and side-scrollers, this is the cream of the crop.

    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.

    A beautiful game with a narrative just deep enough to be evocative without cramping the style of the slick 2D action platforming, all components of which are fleshed out and developed.
    Themes of family dealt with extremely well.
    The best game of 2020 so far.

    Ori and the will of the wisps is really beautiful and fluid in the gameplay, but it's hella boring and forgettable. It's over in 100% in 12hrs and there's absolutely no difficulty if you have a brain. You can abuse the map with some technical jump. I think it's the greatest deception i've had in 2020

    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.
