Ori and the Will of the Wisps review

Some sore technical issues stop Ori and the Will of the Wisps from being necessarily better than its predecessor. However, it is still a bigger breathtaking sequel that doesn’t just iterate on but expands with all new features and mechanics, which makes exploring its beautiful yet dangerous world a thrill.

Looks and sounds absolutely beautiful; New abilities and mechanics make this a distinct sequel; More side content and optional challenges for completionists;

Some annoying bugs but should be patched out by launch; Still reliant on trial-and-error difficulty that can spoil set pieces;

Ori and the Will of the Wisps Review

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a fantastic sequel that improves upon its predecessor in multiple ways. While the new combat focus admittedly doesn’t fit well with the story, it’s still a tonne of fun, and coupled with the new autosave feature, ensures a more fast-paced and fluid style of play. Combined with the endearing story book vibe and jaw-dropping platforming spectacles, Will of the Wisps is easily one of the best titles in the Xbox's first-party library.

Much improved combat ; Epic platforming set pieces ; Gorgeous story book world ; Endearing story ;

Some could argue there's a lack of challenge ; Minor performance issues on Xbox One S;

Great Game Play

This is a great game with many interesting layers in the storyline. Would recommend this to everyone.
