I am currently playing this on the switch, it's beautiful and so enjoyable. It's the metroidvania I think we could all use in our lives right now.

nah, you're playing ori and the blind forest. I don't blame you for mixing them up because ori and the will of the wisps is a bad title.

My bad, I should have actually paid better attention to your post.

But now I hope this comes to switch.

running real rough on PC right now. I think I'm running it pre-patch because the d-pad doesn't seem to do anything? Not sure how to force updates for games in the Xbox app.

is it already out? I spent some time yesterday trying to figure that out too (forcing updates). I did see that the dpad issue is part of the day 1 patch so at this point Im not trusting anything in regards to performance with this fabled patch. playing it at midnight or whenever its available no matter what though.

if you have gamepass you can set your PC region to New Zealand and play it right now. if you bought it you have to wait until it's out in your region. I think I'll just wait until tomorrow before I put any time into it, hopefully the patch rolls out by then or my PC downloads it or whatever.

I'm hype. 100%'d Blind Forest in 2015, then the DE on Switch and just last night for a third time on the XB1.

Also got the Collector's Edition arriving tomorrow, as well as the exclusive hoodie.

I don't know if it is still active, but you used to be able to buy the definitive edition if you owned the original version for like $5.

Also this damn thing doesn't seem to want to support my PS4 controller. Every thing works fine except it wants to consider what would be LT and RT to be the same button.

Ori 2 still hates Vjoy so I can't play with my GCN controller which is REALLY SAD

Have to use shitty PS4 controller with its shitty analog stick.

Ever wanted your thumb to be in the stupidest position ever? Well PS4 controller's got your back!

less controllers and operating systems more Ori

I just made it to the Wellspring. I'm having a great time so far. I'm not crazy about hitting targets with your bow, but otherwise, yeah, I'm all in.

It feels slightly different, like putting on a new shoe, but I think it's nothing but a good thing. The gameplay is more fluid and fast and where at first I wasn't a big fan of this hammer I picked up, I'm now loving it's extra upward trajectory with the upward swing. Also it feels good to connect with an enemy.

Overall really enjoying it. I've also been on the XB1X and the only bug I've found is when I smacked a snail into some water and instead of dying, it just kept taking damage indefinitely while making an awful 'taking damage' noise over and over. Thankfully it disappeared when I walked a considerable distance away.

Really enjoying this so far. Just finished my first spirit trial (speed run), and while it only took me like 3 tries, it opened my eyes as to how fast I can move around this game if I abuse my dash.

Im at about 35% now, maybe 5 hours in and totally hooked. it doesnt seem too tough so far, not compared to blind forest. the auto saving helps. I just got the hammer move after neglecting it for a while and wow, that thing is a monster. combat is a ton of fun which I wasnt expecting.

I just started but I picked the hammer first and have no regrets in the slightest.

Also the upward and side swings let me access a few platforms earlier than intended.

Yeah the upward swing is great. Before I had dash I was using it to get that extra umph.

you can do that with the first weapon too. I cheated a bunch of platforms that way (pretty sure it's intended, but it still feels good)

right now I'm rolling with the main weapon, the hammer and the heal. I put the bow off to the side just because I hate using energy for anything but healing. I should get over that. I was the same way with hollow knight and just never used any kind of magic unless it was forced.

I immediately put away the healing to try to force myself to be more methodical and utilize more offensive abilities. Trying to play more to win and less to avoid losing.

yeah, it's easy enough to pop it when needed. if there was a movement ability then I would be all over it. for example I went and got triple jump ASAP and haven't even considered taking it off ever.

Yeah, this was the first thing I rushed as well. I saw that and was like "okay we're BACK" -- also nice to consider the devs gave it to us so early, building the game with it in mind.
