Ori and the Will of the Wisps Thread

Can't wait, absolutely loved the first.

looks like they totally revamped the combat and added some RPG-lite elements. very excited

Been playing it since release. They've made your character a lot more customizable. In addition to your innate moves you always have, you can equip 3 skills (which are basically like your attacks or special moves) and you can equip 3 (at first) spirit shards, which give you various bonuses, and you can upgrade them all and stuff.

You can build your character around extra agility, or attacking, or tanky for defense, def. gives it more depth.

The combat is more like real combat and there are actual boss fights now, I don't recall any true boss fights in the original

Also, the map has NPC's throughout now, who give you little side quests and there are little shrines where you can do challenges, like combat challenges or speed running challenges (get from point A to point B in under a certain time).

So yeah, it's essentially the same Ori formula as before, but with a lot more gameplay features and systems than before, all top notch so far.

Thus far I'm finding it noticably easier than Forest was, at least so far. I'm about 60% done according to the ingame %.

There hasn't been a lot of demanding platforming yet and the escape sequences have been much easier and shorter than the ones in Forest. I'm srue part of it is that this is my 2nd Ori game but I still think it's easier, at least in the first half.

Might as well. The first isn't long and it's great. The story line doesn't really continue over games or anything though, outside of knowing the origin of a few characters. They really aren't story heavy games though.
