Guide little Ori on his all new quest after a nice flight with your owlet friend turns perilous and you both get seperated you must find one another and get to safety. Also you will get to complete side missions helping friendly creatures you meet along the way each with their own little tale to tell, or rumor to share. Some of these nice creatures will just want to sell you upgrades for a cost, earning this spirit currency leads you to dark and dangerous places where the evil monsters are lurking, however in what is quite a subtansial upgrade over the original little Ori will gain access to various weapons to fight your way on your quest. This time around it will require a bit more skill to push your way through this dream like land, with weapons and abilities on hand like the brute power of the spear to launch through the air, or the finely tuned skill with the bow and arrow to pluck of monsters from distance or aim for a target to unlock a door or walkway, or maybe you'd just like to glide along over these hideous beasts, well this time around you can do plenty. As you progress and unlock more and more some of these will help gain you access previously blocked off to you and always makes you want to double back and check on things with each new one you acquire. Ori at it's heart is a plat-former, a beautiful and brilliant one at that, however Will of The Wisps has been brought to the table showing a clear focus on increased action for this helping. Usually such a change would be damaging but it's pulled of beautifully, timed just right to break up the focus or delving deeper and further are the boss fights, a few more than last time around and very satisfying to pass.
    As with all things as my time came to and end with Ori and The Will of The Wisps to write this review I can say wholeheartedly that this is probably the most visually beautiful games I have laid my hands on in recent years, with a well told story that you will grasp as you go along and with such sincere emotion conveyed by the characters that will really tug on the most seasoned gamers heartstrings, this game is just shy of a masterpiece. While maybe the couple if things are small that I seemed to experience and nothing game breaking, (let's face it I've played game at launch far far worse) just the rare occurence of a texture taking just a little too long to long in causing a slight black spot or the odd frame drop here and there, or loading the map seems to be less fluid and seamless as it should. In summary then: Ori and The Will of The Wisps. Beautifully made with painstakinly stunning visuals and an emotional goldmine, upgraded action / combat elements that add more to the platform roots and perfectly break up the addictive exploration aspects. Just as good, if not better than the its predecessor.    … Expand

    Ori and the will of the wisps is an excellent follow up to 2015's Ori and the blind forest. It pushes the boundaries of platforming while staying true to the nature of the franchise. The soundtrack is some of the best I've heard and the gameplay is fluid and extremely responsive. The art and environments is beautifully animated and immersive.

    An HDR showcase of brilliant art, music come together in a dream like atmosphere! It feels good to control with that old school challenge but definitely more accessable to the noobs. Still challenging. I will take my time in this rare made gem!

    Tão vflo quanto o primeiro e desafiador ! Primeiras batalhas bem planejadas , o unico porem é alguns golpes q não acertam alguns inimigos, as vezes passa até despercebido esse detalhe uma vez que a parte vizual do jogo enche toda a cena com detalhes belos.

    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.
