Ori and the Will of the Wisps

sim

amazing graphics its a bit hard sometimes and you really need to think if you didn't miss anything before but still one of the best games i've ever played

Beautiful and inspiring. Ori continues its story in Will of the Wisps, searching for its owl buddy. WIth Ori trading its orb attacks for a sword, this time the gameplay is slightly more combat focused. Rest assured though the platforming can still be deviously difficult in the later areas. Having said that the game regularly auto-saves, so loss of progress is less of an issue compared to the first game. Controls are smooth and responsive. Do play with gamepad if you can. Audiovisually this is top notch. Both games are beautiful in this regard, but I enjoyed this even more on my HDR monitor. Sound design also is of extreme high quality, with good sound effects and a powerful orchestrated soundtrack. Some small annoyances do hold it slighly back. A few bugs left (mostly revolvng around the platforming trials) and some repeat graphics and design from part 1 (good looking, but familiar). I also wasn't the biggest fan of the snow zone and the final fight, but that's likely a personal preference. Really this is *almost* on par with Hollow Knight, my highest rated metroidvania on Steam. But it's an fantastic game nonetheless. All in all Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a superb 2D metroidvania that I can recommend to all fans of the genre and to those that love powerful and heartfelt stories in games. Do play Ori and the Blind Forest first as the story makes more sense that way. Highly recommended! Rating: 8.5/10

非常的好玩

(+) The visuals are just as breathtaking as they were in the first game. Actually, they're even better than breathtaking. (+) Just like in the first game, the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal. (+) The story is once again simple, yet emotionally devastating, just like in the original. (+) The way Ori interacts with the world is on another level. It's honestly the best I've ever seen in a platformer. It feels like magic and should be the standard every studio strives for. (+) There's plenty of variety in the environments, so the game never feels repetitive. Even the backtracking never becomes annoying, which is a huge plus. (+/-) There are several new abilities compared to the first game. They're a nice addition, but I'm not sure they're significant enough to count as a major positive on their own. (+/-) Boss fights were added this time around, but they're extremely easy. I understand that Ori was never meant to be a particularly difficult game, but the bosses still felt a little too simple. (+/-) Somehow I finished the game a few hours faster than the first one. That was a bit disappointing, especially considering it adds side quests, a more in-depth upgrade system, and other new mechanics. On paper, it feels like it should've been a longer game, but that wasn't my experience. I wouldn't call it a negative, but it did leave me wondering if those extra systems were mainly there to pad the playtime compared to the original. Just like the first game, I'll gladly recommend this to anyone interested in the genre. I can't quite give it the same 10/10 as the original, so for me it's a solid 9/10.
