it's basically blind forest but with actually fun combat. i don't think it's Hollow Knight Level (at least combat wise) but man it's fun.

i am just very early maybe 2 hours into the game. as long as they keep up with locations especially enemy variety (which was very lacking in blind forest) this will be very very good.

Anyone who likes Metroidvania games owes it to themselves to play this game, it might be my 3rd favorite after Super Metroid and SotN.

Ori 2 addresses your complaints. Of course it's still way easier than Hollow Knight so if hard bosses is your thing Ori 2 doesn't offer much. But that's why I like Ori 2 more than Hollow Knight, I don't have the patience for hard bosses.

i know Ori 1 is focused more on platforming than combat, but yeah, there are still enemies on map that you still have to dispatch and it's annoying.

ori is fixed that quite well so far.

Yeah Ori and the Will of the Wisps is such an improvement over the first one it's ridiculous. Wouldn't be surprised if it wins GotY 2020 for some folk

Ori and the Blind Forest is...not as good as people have said. I'm playing on the Switch and it has not held my attention at all. Is it's big thing it has a good story or something?

Blasphemous has me hooked, and Hollow Knight had me waaaaaay more hooked than Ori 1.

Have you gotten to the first dungeony area? The Bash mechanic is really what makes that game shine.

I honestly don't think I made it the farthest. I got to the big tree and told me to go find the wisps or whatever and then I was just roaming around. Lots of platforming, and I'm on hard mode so it's real easy to get rekt. I'll keep going if more mechanics makes it interesting. As it is now, it just seems like a platform heavy gorgeous looking, if plain playing, Metroidvania. Whereas Hollow Knight I wasn't a fan of the art at first but it had me hooked with the weird and interesting story and the MUSIC, my god.

How good was the music during that part?
I'm playing on Hard difficulty and since I don't play platformers at all it was an enjoyable toughness to escape the water.

The music was amazing portraying a sense of danger but also being uplifting. It inspired me to keep trying for Ori.

It has to be one of my favorite moments in a game.

Its hard but it doesn't seem unreasonable, anytime I get stuck I just quit playing and come back a few hours later.

I just got the wisp in the ice area.

I already got the sand burrow skill but the way is closed.

Basically i like everything more in this game compared to the 1st one.

The antagonist got a sad backstory but she's different as in she might be gone too far compared to kuro.

Yup bought it and played probably 10 hours or so. It's just as good but I haven't run into any parts as thrilling as the tree from the first. I do wish it was a bit harder though.

The first Ori was very good, but Will of the Wisps is such a massive improvement in every single regard. I really enjoyed the few boss battles the game had, which is great because having boss battles at all wasn't something I expected when I first started the game.

I don't know what abilities you're using, but Spike is incredibly helpful for all boss fights. It's kinda overpowered honestly.

Smooth sure but the character physics are whack. Very floaty feeling and not as tight and crisp as something like hollow knight or celeste. The branching ability tree is poorly designed and half the abilities are garbage.
Beautiful looking games for sure

I don't think you've played Ori 2 because the movement is sublime, one of the many things they improved upon over the 1st game.

Agreed, but I'm also in the boat that HK is overrated. Great game but overrated.
