Sounds great, I really should give the first game another shot at some point. Something just didn't click with me, which sucks because I loved Hollow Knight and this is very similar from what I could see.

Similar to Astraer - I had to tweak my shard load out, I also missed one of the optional abilities which made it a LOT easier...
Didnt knew xboxera made ori
Why are those moon studios fellas getting the credit then?

Great game. But it's broken at the moment.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps Review (Xbox One) – Wisp You Were Here - PowerUp!
With update version 1.0.4193.0, the technical issues mentioned later in this review have been alleviated. The review and score have been updated accordingly. Following up the incredible Ori and the Blind Forest is one hell of a tall order. Moon Studios' first title was an exceptional combination...

Not going to lie, the game is tough but I never felt it was unfair so if you like challenging games, then by all means go for it. There's more than enough tools to get over anything, even a boss I was struggling with, I changed the way some of my attacks worked and I killed it pretty easily. The game states that Escape Sequences are 25% more difficult in Hard but I thought they were perfect on Hard so i'll need to check out Normal's difference.
Yup thanks sso much. And thanks for sharing the reviews folks. Really helps

Well, you're review can already be discredited then because all the issues have been fixed with the day one patch.
Maybe you should have waited with posting that.

Looks pretty outdated, patch is out for hours now.
That's for "Ori and the Blind Forest".. not "The Will of the Wisps"Gamespot 9/10
Ori and the Blind Forest Review
Ori and the Blind Forest is a rapturous platformer that is as fun as it is beautiful.www.gamespot.com
Woah, the gifs in this review are insane. Love that they included them!4.5/5
Ori and the Will of the Wisps review: "A short but sublime action-platformer"
A gorgeous, tear-jerking platformerwww.gamesradar.com
Lol i disagree with this really hard. Everything on the disc should be basis for the review. The only time this is viable is when a release is only releasing digitally, because a consumer would have to have internet acces to be able to buy it. If your game ain't ready, delay it. Don't fix it with a day one patch.
Congrats to Moon Studio's for great reviews!
Thanks for the info on it. Sounds pretty tempting, I do like challenging stuff. I really enjoyed the escape parts in the original game so the harder part had me interested too.
The shard loadouts give the game some cool added depth. I mainly focused on damage dealing and reducing.
Your reviews are a reference for me ever since I started watching them. Thanks for being so thorough and professional, man. Your reviews rock.
Great work as always! Not sure how you always come up with your ridiculous analogies but they are truly entertaining.
Yep, huge fan of it and it really encouraged me to go out and find all the hidden ones. Playing on Hard, I was looking for anything that would give me an edge and there's some really interesting configurations you can come up with, really curious to see what other people go with.
Have you tried the game after the day one patch?Here's ours

so games that require a mandatory day one patch or update should get a 0/10?
should consoles be reviewed without the internet? No patches or updates?
this is 2020, not 1999.

Someone's ignored the emails from their PR then... Plenty of communication about the issues and discussed at length within the original comms we had...
Echo this, there's been plenty of communication from both the PR and Thomas himself with regards to the day one patch.
Pretty freaking weird scores considering how the game was barely playable on review code.
You can't really blindly believe that the day 1 patch will fix everything. At least wait until the actual patch hits, which hadn't happened yet when the 2 people I know were reviewing this went to bed last night.

I can only review what I played.
I'm Not going to pretend I didn't have to reply huge sections because the game didn't save. Nor am I going to ignore the frame rate issues or Everything else.
day one patches are fine, but it's not my experience and I can't review what might happen.
You're allowed to be wrong, it's totally fine.
Might as well review it from the reveal trailer. Players didn't get to play that version of the game either. I;m so glad reviews in progress are now a thing. Much more sophisticated a response to the evolution of game design.
I don't agree. The reviewer should base it on their own experience, yes, but they should also at least try and make sure it lines up with the experience of the average consumer.
No they should not release games for reviews that are not done with the promise of "We'll fix this later don't worry!!!!".
The scores are amazing but it's sad to see that some reviewers are so ignorant, it's clear that the day one patch fixes a lot of the issues reviewers are complaining about...
This isn't exactly true. We talked about this early. Many got nothing.
So what. That doesn't mean anything.
So I'm just supposed to ignore the experience because they said they're fixing it? And I'm just supposed to trust that?
Yet for the consumers, (whom the reviews are for) the game is fixed and ready to go before they even download it.
Hell, the vast majority of players won't even know there were performance bugs.
No... You do what many others in this very thread have done. You say "the review is delayed as we check the performance of the day one patch" and then you do so.
I'm with you man. If they want reviews based on the final product, they should also deliver the final product. Reviews based on promises is a very bad thing.
They did actually fixed it and the fixed version is what is available at launch. If someone isnt comfortable with their time spent with patched versions, then feel free to delay their review like EZA did.
That's a dishonest comment from you. The promise was 'this has been fixed in a patch out now' not 'this will be fixed'.
if the day one patch that installs right as the consumers put the disk in fixeS the issue, and it the patch makes it in time ahead of the embargo, then it should go into the review.
reviewers should review code consumers will play on release. A day one patch falls in that category.
Or you know.. delay the review? Aren't you making a review for the 'regular people' ?
Absolutely not. I myself only played the first one for the first time last month and it was an absolutely amazing game. It's not super long either, only maybe 5-6 hours, so you could get it finished and then move on to the second one pretty quickly. I'd advise you not to look at...anything related to the second game though. Me even just looking at the box art for the second game when I was halfway through the first was a bit of a spoiler as to what may happen at the end of the Blind Forest.
You underestimate how important a minute one upload of the latest reviews are to these guys. Still not sure if that's Moon Studios problem though.
