Yes, according to the credits there were about 49 people listed but from what I've been able to find the "core" team consisted of between 10--15 people, though some say as many as 22 people. Still a very impressive number considering the detail and quality of this title @@thelifesampler
I've just recently played both the Blind Forest and Will of the Wisps.. the Blind forest is more simplified but you can definitely tell that the team learned a lot from it and the direction they went with the second game is realy impressive. I am on my 3rd playthrough of Will of the Wisps. I enjoy how lively the world feels compared to the desolation and solitude of the first game. And the pacing is perfectly done. Picking up some of your more important traversal skills early on really shows appreciation for the players time. Meanwhile most games will have you go hours into the game before you pick up something as simple as double jump. Will of the Wisps is definitely one of those games I just wish had more content to explore.
That's really interesting. I actually found Blind Forest to be super cool with each section feeling unique in its mechanics, music and visuals. It was only really during some of the cutscenes early on I felt the desolation really came through. 🤔 One of the things I loved about the Blind Forest though is that it let you skill up the way you wanted - it sort of suggested and pushed you towards certain builds but as soon as I saw the Dash I was definitely just aiming for that. 😅😅 I'm super keen to check out Will of the Wisps but unfortunately I'm not sure when I'll be able to get on to it. I am also really looking forward to see what Moon Studios' next game will be like though. "No Rest for the Wicked" looks really cool with that artstyle, music and combat. 🤯
Gret review. This game beat me up on the first run, but I replayed it for the achievements and it was easier with every playthrough. You need to play and review the sequel, The Will of the Wisps. It builds on everything and takes it to a higher level.
Yes, Ori is such a great example of what a good video game can be! Will of the Wisps is definitely on my list but there are some other games that I'm looking tackle before heading back to this world at the moment. One day though, just not today 😅
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm definitely planning to check it out at some point but I've got a few other games I'm keen to try out before that. Hopefully next year though!
I just played both Ori and the Blind Forest, and Ori and the will of the wisps for the first time about a little bit longer than a week ago. And let me say it’s probably one of the best platforming games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing. Sure it made me want to bash my head against the wall several times, but you can just tell the amount of care put into the game. I’m proud to say I beat both of them!
That's actually so cool! I loved the blind forest so much - it is genuinely one of the best video game experiences I had in 2023. Personally I've played games that got me angry but for some reason this game didn't - I mean I guess I got annoyed but it was all still so fun! Such an awesome game!
@@dox_plays Other metroidvanias besides Ori i can recommend would be Blasphemous one and two, Hollow Knight, Guacamelee!, Unbound World's Apart also the darkest tales is a decent game.
@@3m3v4s I've got Hollow Knight already but have yet to try, Blasphemous I've heard of though. I'm still keen to check them out but it will probably take some time before I get to them, Thank you so much for the recommendations though, will keep them in mind!
@@dox_plays It can be very frustrating at the early stages, I actually finished the game before getting the dash and the other abillity because I forgot about that dark biome 😂 So I definetly made that a tiny bit harder than necesary, cuz I didnt get all the health orbs and etc.
most definatley worth playing, finished the blind forest a couple of weeks ago, 100% on normal, now im at the last map of will of the wisps. beatyful design, awesome gameplay and even better story, i like the sequel better though with all the sidequests. wish there will be a follow up.
Apologies YT didn't notify me of your comment. That's great! I'm very keen to check out the sequel - I'm not sure when I'll be able to but it's definitely on my list of games to try. I do feel like a third game would be awesome, unfortunately or fortunately depending on your perspective - Moon Studios is working on a new IP called No Rest for the Wicked which looks amazing so far. I am very keen to see how this one goes!
Yeah, I noticed as well. It runs better on my Switch than on my gaming PC. On my PC I had quite a lot of lags and stutters that arent happening on my Switch. I was wondering how this is possible since my PC is way more powerful.
It really is so good, I'm definitely keen to check out the sequel also - Unfortunately I'm not a big Metroidvania type gamer so I don't think its fair for me to suggest any. I have heard good things about Celeste, Super Meatboy, Hollow Knight, Dead Cells and Deaths Gambit so keen to check those out, They are all part of the same or similar genre. Let me know if you end up playing them though as I'm interested in checking them out too! Happy Gaming!

That water section at 8:55 is the first where it really pushes you and tests your skills that you’ve learnt! 👌👌👌
It's definitely my favourite part!
Play the sequel.You gonna love it twice more
it's definitely on the list!
the only games that are usually not worth playing/paying for are the online ones with dead servers
That's fair, so you'd agree Ori is worth playing today?
Is there a game you wouldn't recommend today?
Still playing it after more than 8 years. It doesnt get old plus the story is simple but well narrated and done
Yep and it is very emotional.
Yes, it's definitely a gem! The fact that it was made by 10 people blows my mind!! 🤯🤯🤯
@@dox_plays 10 people? Im sure it was done by alot more people
According to the credits but still.

Is it worth playing? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It'll be worth playing 1,000 years from now
😅 True! I do agree! Lol 😂
Metroidvanias are some of the best games out there arguably.. 😊😊
I'm just discovering them and i'ts something different
man

This isn’t my type of game but I might check it out, thanks for the recommendation
They are definitely worth checking out

Yes even in 2024 it gives me shivers !!! THIS GAME WILL NEVER FALL DID YOU HEAR ME !!
Yes! Lol definitely agree!
Great review dude!! Really well put together! I'm a go play it now based on this.
It is an absolutely phenomenal game! I really hope you enjoy because I definitely did!
YES ... the answer is YES!!!
🤣🤣 Pretty Much! But I would say HELL YES!!
This is 10/10 on Steam for a reason! Excellent Game!
Yes, absolutely agree!
Good job as usual😍
Thanks for the kind words ❤
Oh definitely still worth it and it is so beautifull it probably will always be that way.
I can definitely agree to that - the music for me was also so special! It's just so emotive!
Great Video, keep up the good work👍.
Btw. if you realy like this game, please consider also playing the sequel, its even better.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm definitely planning to check it out at some point but I've got a few other games I'm keen to try out before that. Hopefully next year though!

I just finished both games for the first time about an hour ago. Still crying.
@@SeanCanDance oh man, I can only imagine.. well done though! ❤
I hope Ori comes back to Life later in the Future, like the way some Songs from 2013 grew Viral again in 2023.
Yes, I think Ori is definitely a timeless classic at this point and when people rediscover it; they will be surprised by how good this game was
It will be replayable for an eternity.
Asbolutely!
Yeah, ori got me into the metroidvanias too
yes, it's definitely not my regular type of game but i'm more interested in them now - I'm keen to see what else is out there
@@dox_plays Other metroidvanias besides Ori i can recommend would be Blasphemous one and two, Hollow Knight, Guacamelee!, Unbound World's Apart also the darkest tales is a decent game.

@@3m3v4s Unbound is really hard for some reason, it's also more linear than other mv's
100% on Hard diff after many years since my first playthrough. This video just popped up, very well said, Ori is something else.
Oh damn, I only played on Normal and it was a challenge, i started a Hard playthru but not sure when I'll get through it!
Definitely a great title!
@@dox_plays It can be very frustrating at the early stages, I actually finished the game before getting the dash and the other abillity because I forgot about that dark biome 😂 So I definetly made that a tiny bit harder than necesary, cuz I didnt get all the health orbs and etc.
@@Qadow lol damn, thats unfortunte - glad you still got through it though because it's an excellent experience!
@@dox_plays Yeah for sure, I am currently playing the sequel on Hard too :D
@@Qadow ah very nice!

Awesome review! Subbed and can't wait for your next vid!
thank you so much for the kind words!
The ori games run horribly on pc, so best to stick to console gaming in general, yet alone for this series
Ah, it's interesting you said that because personally I didn't really have any issues.
Regardless it is such a great game
Yeah, I noticed as well. It runs better on my Switch than on my gaming PC. On my PC I had quite a lot of lags and stutters that arent happening on my Switch. I was wondering how this is possible since my PC is way more powerful.
@@TituzzzD that's really unfortunate - i'll definitely pay more attention with the sequel 🤔
Must only affect modern cards - it (and Ori and the Will of the Wisps) runs beautifully on my 1070, but hilariously I found stuttering on Switch.
Your video made me finally buy it to play! Great work as always!
That's a great pick up - I was honestly blown away by how awesome this game is!
Your audio is pretty clear, what mic do you use?
I use a Blue Yeti, it's nothing special but get's the job done
Playing through this game right now and LOVING it! Will play part 2 as well.
What other games of this type/genre are great and worth playing?
It really is so good, I'm definitely keen to check out the sequel also -

@invaliduser_dox Awesome! Appreciate the recs and I will definitely report back if I try these out.
@@toddsmith1083 yes! please do, i'd be interested to see how they play
This is a really cool game - the artstyle and music is soooo good!
It really is so well done
Man I started today
Great Decision!
You could try Ori and the willof the wisp the second part of the game.
Yea, it's definitely on the list but probably not for a little while
@@dox_plays ok good 😄 I like your video
thanks man, really hope you did - this is probably the video I've put most effort into at the time@@ernestojaviertrujillomedin5629
