Completely maintains the essence and emotion of its predecessor, and manages to flesh out the combat to be much more engaging. The platforming also felt better. That being said, the shard and upgrade systems felt a bit bloated and unnecessary. The power progression systems of the first with the improved combat options of the sequel would be the ideal combo. Alas, the game is still incredible and worth checking out.
Really good, liked the map of the first one better
Saw credits, really enjoyable Metroidvania
I don't know how they have done it. The first game was an unequivocal masterpiece that exceled in every possible aspect, but somehow this one just topped that. By FAR the greatest platformer of all time, and one of the most jaw dropping beautiful games ever made. The soundtrack on its own is generational.
While the story is much improved over the first, some of the gameplay sections were much more frustrating. Adding sidequests to the game completely bloated the map, making it much harder to navigate and get around. I was often confused as to what marker on the map was the main objective, so i would have to stop what I was doing to read the quest log. My biggest complaints with the original were completely exacerbated in this game. Even how you get specific abilities being tied to vendors or side quests made progression fell much less organic. Not a bad game but definitely one of the weaker Metroidvania’s
holy shit
absolute cinema.
Improves on everything the first game did. Misses a few marks with some abilities and weapons feels kinda meh and has a lot of technical issues, but holy crap everything else is amazing. This game just gets the sense of movement a player should feel. It's amazing. Even the combat (which I hated in the first game) is super fun and versatile. The feels, music, level design, etc. are all masterfully well-crafted.
Truly a monumental Metroidvania.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps conseguiu fazer algo bem dificil: ser um jogo melhor, mais bonito, menos repetitivo e mais emocionante que seu antecessor.
