    There are times when you feel obliged to find faults no matter how minor, but in the ten-plus hours spent with Moon Studios’ latest, there are none. It’s a feat few studios can rightfully claim to accomplish in recent times but such a claim is more than merited for a game that nails all departments.

    The story is fantastic, the world is breathtaking, and all of that pales in comparison to the wonderfully made gameplay that soars both as a platforming and combat game. Moon Studios has outdone itself with Will of the Wisps, delivering an experience that doesn’t have any lulls, makes the player feel clever, and just keeps getting better as it goes.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps is more than just a worthy successor to Blind Forest. It enriches and improves all its parts in every aspect, and it is a Metroidvania game that will be remembered for years.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps follows the Blind Forest as a special game that is unrivalled in its class.

    In five years, the Metroidvania has changed, and Ori has also learned from its peers to stay in the race. A little less demanding but much more varied, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is indeed the great adventure we have been waiting for.

    If you play Ori and the Will of the Wisps on a PC, then you have a fantastic successor to The Blind Forest. Xbox One owners are better off waiting for major updates.

    A haunting journey through a woodland with a real sense of place, but its breadth of mechanics silts up the pacing.

Played through the first game for the first time about a week ago when it was on sale. Loved the first one so much I bought this game the very next day. Game is a blast to play, music is amazing, love the characters/story, and so many emotional parts.

    Currently, the game runs well with only a few minor bugs. An uncommon issue I had is the music would sometimes cut to a brief ZAP sound mid track for a split second. Other than that it's one of my favorite games of all time already!    … Expand

    sound is glitchy
    there is a very noticeable input lag
    the escape from the giant owl sequence is unsufferable, bad, unfun and unclear, i hope anyone who designed it gets put against the wall and quartered
