    Agreed, I liked the original well enough but this one blew me away. The improved combat goes a long way. Then you have the pitch perfect movement and audio/visual package making it a world that's just a joy to explore. Then add in some absolutely stunning boss battles and set pieces. I also appreciate the tight design, as the game didn't drag itself out. It might be a lock in my top 3 this year.

      That would be awesome! I personally hope that they continue to build up the world of Ori for at least another 2 games so that we can play as the wisp that helps Ori in the first game, and the wisp in the second game. I believe it would help to build up the world and give us a better idea of how much the world was changed when the wisp was split into pieces. The gumos exctintion in the blind forest, or building upon the parental figure more and getting to see the species before the owl attacked the wisp (its been a while so I can't remember the names). Not to mention the hint at the end of Ori and the will of the wisps where a leaf falls, which is how spirits like Ori are born, if I'm remembering it right. There's so much potential for a sequel or a prequel and I'd be thrilled to play another game set in the same world as Ori, but I understand that making too many games of a franchise can ruin it.

    When they showcased the time trials a few years ago (maybe last year? I don't remember) and their focus on combat I was very worried about how the game would feel cause I loved the original. Boy was I wrong, the trials were some of the most fun I've had between both games. And the combat is good too, they took a lot of ideas from Hollow Knight but it still feels very different. And the movement, which was my favourite thing about the original, is somehow even better. What a great game, I had a lot of fun playing!

Also, the "power-up" jingle has variants depending on what area you're in.

      I was talking about stuff just laying around, potentially hidden, like cells and shards
      Idk, the wisps can be dealt with in whatever order you want this time, and you can always explore pretty far ahead before they tell you to, and find something worthwhile
      (Minor note, I haven't played any other metroidvanias)

      You really should! The sequel is better than the original (in my opinion), but it doesn't mean Ori and the Blind Forest can't hold it's own against the Will if the Wisps. I can even understand how some believe the original is better than the sequel. Not to mention the escape sequences and the story it has to tell that's so different from the will of the wisps. Yes, I will admit there are similarities, but at the end of the day the endings are completely different and so satisfying.

    I had a very mixed experience with Ori and the Will of the Wisps,
    I can not deny that the art direction, story and score are excellent, and Ori does feel very swift to play as
    The Glade is likely my favourite part of the game, as it gave a real sense of how our actions were making this world a better place
    However, some issues I had with the previous game still exists as well as new ones
    First the only visual setting that can be changed is the resolution, which means that if your computer is not able to handle the game at its highest, the only way to make it run better is to lower its resolution, which is sad considering how many other visual parameters can be tweaked in other games
    Ori is very floaty, which sometimes clashes with how precise the game asks you to be (especially when platforms have a slightly unpredictable movement bc they are narrow and dangling from vines or ropes)
    The chase sequences ended up being frustrating for me, as the reaction time is very short for most movements
    and lastly, the RPG elements borrowed from hollow knight don't mix as well as they could, the cartograph is not as valuable as the game still provides you with a map, the one quest about trading items end had a conclusion which to me was underwhelming in both the narrative and gameplay aspects and the weapons wheels feels limiting when you need to assign traversal options to it
    Overal, I am still praising its art direction, but the gameplay repeatedly kicked me out of the experience

    • @iroveashe
      @iroveashe 4 года назад +1

      I agree about the chases, and some of the mechanics just being bloat because it's very clear which are optimal and the rest become useless. That said I think the movement is super fun, and it's the main reason why I played it all the way. Couldn't care less about the story tho.

    What is Ori and the Will of the Wisps?
    According to a Neural Network:
    Ori is a collection of four playable characters, each with their own unique moves and attacks. All four play different and provide an all-new challenge to players new and old.
    Ori's character revolves around the use of different kinds of energy, called Ori, as your main source of attack. Ori is often found growing in dark places, and some of the fiercest enemies are rare magical lights that glow brightly when they enter the area. As your skills improve, Ori is able to be used to attack a wider range of enemies, temporarily stunning them or even causing them to teleport.
    Along with your chosen character, the player also has the power to control different dogs of Ori (known as sprites) - powerful creatures that can go toe-to-toe with the most powerful enemies.

    Definitely my favorite game of all time, it's unfortunate it's a bit short. I absolutely love everything about this game. The gameplay is smooth and fun, the world is so well made that just being in it is its own experience, the sound design and score are both legendary, and its's all bundled into a both heartwarming and heart melting story. The characters really feel alive with their strong personalities, and each enemy feels unique and well made. An absolutely perfect game aside from some performance issues.

    The only thing I can truly critisize is that ori grabs to walls by himself. This lead to some frustrating deaths because getting off a wall is not always possible without taking damage when you have many enemies nearby. Ori always grabs to walls even though you just want to jump at one and land on the ground next to it. It takes away a huge bit of controll in these situations.
    I am sure this could have been prevented by binding the grab to a shoulder button.

      Just to clarify my point, I wasn't accusing them of complete plagiarism. It's just that when I played the game, I couldn't help but notice a lot of similarities, I didn't mention the shard system before but that was one too, and again, going into the Depths I couldn't help but feel like going into Deep Nest again.
      But of course HK was inspired by Ori 1 and Ori 2 was inspired by HK, even if not directly, but just because of the fact that both games were hits and inspired a bunch of platformers after them. And that's what is happening all the time in and across all media genres. And that's not a bad thing.
      No, my point was more that, even if I enjoyed playing this sequel, it felt like a sequel, and I was a bit disappointed because I was not much surprised by what was offered.
      But don't worry I'm also afraid of what Silksong will have to offer.

    Since you mentioned it: I did play Will of the Wisps first and Blind Forest afterwards and it was fantastic nonetheless! Sure, the slightly less stunning visuals felt like a minor downgrade at first, but this was quickly forgotten and it was amazing to experience the story as sort of a "prequel". I noticed quite a lot of differences between the games and I actually felt like Blind Forest was even harder - but this might be due to the fact that I stumbled upon the DLC area pretty early and I generally missed quite a lot of energy/life cells at first. I also felt like Blind Forest had more puzzle solving elements (think Forlorn Ruins), which was cool.

    I love this game to death, but there are a couple of shortcomings that feel justified to mention.
    - The difficulty of the escape sequences has been scaled way back for most of them (except the very last one). I'm glad that they didn't pull a Ginso Tree difficulty spike this time around but I think they were just a touch too soft this time around. I've seen some people complete the first sequence on their very first try (one hadn't even played Blind Forest either).
    - In its current state, the game is rather rough around the edges, particularly on the Xbox version. Frame drops and audio problems occur fairly commonly and it's not too hard to accidentally stumble upon a glitch. On my first playthrough I encountered about 6 distinct glitches. Moon Studios is actively working to patch this stuff out, but I think it would be amiss to not mention the problems that some people are having.
    Aside from that, great video!

    *Spoilers*. I really love this game, but the ending really let me down. We work the whole game to save Ku, yet never get to see Ku and Ori reunite. Instead, Ori seems forced into becoming a distant entity and is torn away from her family. SUPER unsatisfying. Also, Shriek's conclusion seems so cruel and out of place for a story like this. It seems like moon studios built Shriek up for redemption the whole game, and then just said fuck it, she's dead and abandoned now. It feels like Moon was trying to convey the message of "some people can't be saved", but to me, it just feels so out of place for a story like this. The ending is also treated as if it's supposed to be one we are happy about. What? Shriek died, after a life of pain and torment, never knowing kindness, and Ori was stripped away from her family. Idk tho. I'm sure the majority of people preferred a bittersweet ending, over a predictable, happy ending, but to me, it just felt so out of place and unrewarding.

    My main complaints with the general combat are that the bash ruins general combat because it basically eliminates contact damage, you just bash out of the way. Also, I wanted to be able to equip more attacks at once. There's usually one required skill to get through an area, you need a basic attack equipped, and that only leaves you with one slot that you might use for healing. I never used any of the optional abilities except for the hammer and the spike because of this.

Also, you should consider giving Metroid Fusion a try - it's a more linear metroidvania experience akin to Ori but with less cool maneuverability and a lot more interesting storytelling!

    I started watching an LP of this to see if I liked the look of it, and ended up watching pretty much the whole game. To be honest I'm kind of glad I did that, rather than buying it. I enjoyed watching it, but it seems to me that the game is a little 'loose' or 'disjointed' - when taken as a whole . Individual elements of the game seem to be super tight for sure, but I don't know, something feels jarring to me in the way that they all get tied together. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it is just a natural consequence of how this particular dev studio is organised. ::NOT-QUITE-A-SPOILER:: I also wasn't sure I liked what they did with the ending either. I get what they were going for, but, I feel like if they were going that way, then they could cultivated sympathy for the tragedy of that character just a teeny touch more.
