There are several that are just one-off fetch quests that reward you with Spirit Light. Speaking of quests, the game has plenty of them in store. That should be a huge relief to the completionists out there. You can wisely skip buying the expensive maps from the map vendor in town that reveal health cells, energy cells, and shards on the map however, because one of the game’s quest paths leads to the full reveal of every collectible item on the map. Not just because there are more of them (which there are but not overwhelmingly so), but because you’ll need the Spirit Light they drop to purchase maps, weapons, a few shards not found on the map, and upgrades to the weapons/shards. Will of the Wisps will find you stopping to kill enemies more frequently, however. The fluidity of movement in that game, which I talk about in its review, lent itself to a lovely interplay of jumps, dashes, and bashes to traverse the environments with lightning speed. The first game was a platformer metroidvania first and foremost. There are some changes that big fans of the original may not be in favor of, namely the increased focus on combat. However, I tried to keep my fandom at bay and go into this title without rose-colored goggles. Many of you will remember that I was a massive fan of the original. The land of Niwen has slid into darkness and decay due to spoiler-type events that I won’t get into for the spoiler-averse, but rest assured it gives our beloved Ori ample reason to explore a new world and save it yet again. It follows on with Ori and Ku at the end of the first game, but this time you’re helping restore more than just a forest. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is the sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition. Players on PC with relatively moderate or high specs aren't experiencing these issues at all. The team has said they continue to work on optimizations and more tweaks are still to come. Notably I had to wait a second on the side of the screen for the next area to load due to moving faster than the game could keep up with, but only once in several hours. The day 1 patch seems to have fixed most of those issues. While it did have some issues with framerate and freezing, as well as excessive load times on the start menu and graphics glitches in-game, it was far from unplayable. You may have heard reports that the game was "unplayable" on Xbox One on the preview build. Also, the review is LONG.Ī word about reports of it being unplayable on Xbox One: As of this writing, the day one patch has been released and I have played several hours on it. That being said even vague references to plot or gameplay might spoil something for you, so read this review at your own discretion. Even with spoiler tags an inadvertent click on a tagged screenshot could reveal something to the viewer that they would rather see for the first time when they play. I have tried to make this review as spoiler-free as possible including leaving out screeshots.
