Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Charms You With Its World In A Way Its Predecessor Didn't

We played the opening hours of Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and we learned what's in store for the next adventure set in a massive new world.

[Chivalry]

First ever 100 on metacritic. Believe it.

 

[Dyashen]

Oddly enough, I'm not as hyped for a sequel to one of my favourite games of the gen. I just want it out already. I know it's going to be a masterpiece, just release please...
Gonna skip these previews to go blind in when the game launches... two more weeks :D

 

[Heysoos]

I can't fucking wait.

 

[m23]

I'm sure this has already been stated somewhere but is this native 4K/60fps on XBX?

 

[big_z]

Hopefully the expanded move set doesnt lead to hand pretzels and inflated difficulty later in the game.

 

[angel_deamon]

SPOLIERS!

 

[Rocketz]

Only watch one but I want to go in without knowing much more.

Really excited for this one.

 

[Deleted member 5725]

Yay! Sounds really awesome! Can't wait :)

 

[Clive]

GOTY arriving early. Stoked to play it.

 

[SweetJohnnyCage]

So excited for this. Watched 15 minutes from IGN last week and I'm not gonna watch anything else. Looks absolutely gorgeous.

 

[SuikerBrood]

Oh man, this game is going to bring me to tears again isn't it.

(And I'll have a hard time finishing it due to the difficulty… though I did hear there is an easy mode)

 

[LAM09]

Finally playing the first game ahead of release. Looking forward to it!

 

[ghostcrew]

This is gonna be amazing isn't it?

 

[Steve McQueen]

Just finished Ori on Switch and can't wait for this. Looking absolutely amazing.

 

[StudioTan]

So hyped!

 

[Theorry]

thomasmahler any idea when the review embargo ends?

 

[GymWolf86]

Oh well it seems that platform is still the base core of the game so i'm gonna buy this when it's gonna be 5 dollars or less jist to enjoy the graphics and art style.
Enjoy the game for me folks.

 

[jon bones]

ready for an emotional rollercoaster

this shit is a real GOTY contender

Imagine being so salty because another guy doesn't like precision platform in his games...

Grow up buddy, i never talked about lack of guns so maybe think a couple of times before writing idiotic stuff.

Imagine coming into a thread about the sequel to a critically acclaimed platformer and whining that it still features platforming.

What did you expect? A turn based tactical RPG?

Can't wait! Thanks for all the hard work, devs!

Are you literally complaining that a platformer has platforming? WTH is this post? LOL

Lol a lot of games change their ratio combat\platform from a game to another, jak 2 has far more combat and less platform than jak1 for example.

I only commented my mildly PERSONAL disappointement to see that platform is still the core, but i have nothing bad to say about the game, it's gonna be a goty candidate for sure because it looks fabulous, no whining from me, never said that the game is trash because is still a platform.

This is a good reason to talk shit on me with false stuff like lack of guns that i never said? Please...

Which you can do after trying it out on Game Pass. Usually for a discount if I'm not mistaken.

The discount thing is interesting.

But like i said, i know myself and the game is still a little bit too platform-y for my taste, so i'm not in a rush to play it and even with a discount the price will be too high (again, for my taste).

I like the more complicated combat and the graphics upgrade tho, i need to think, i'm an hyped gamer, sometimes i buy stuff even when i'm not fully convinced, i'm gonna change idea about this game at least 50 times during these 2 weeks because it is fucking beatiful...

I mean if you haven't tried ou GP yet, you get what, a couple of weeks free trial or something? It's just a cheap way to try out a bunch of games you were interested in. This is the best we'll get since demos are few and far between these days.

I'm currently playing through the first game on Game Pass PC and really enjoying after ignoring it the last few years. Really looking forward to this after I'm done with the first.

My most anticipated game in awhile. I can't wait to see this at 1440p and hopefully a nice high frame rate.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Damn, this looks amazing.

 

[Deleted member 1839]

One of the extremely rare times I'm interested in a platformer.

 

[Papacheeks]

This game looks amazing. I could see 90+ on meta already. The animation, character designs, and music are all top class. Makes me want to replay Ori.

 

[Deleted member 45460]

It has an easy mode as well, if you love the look but are afraid it might be too hard for you to enjoy.
