Dexterryu Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just a little ways in, and I'm really enjoying the game. Runs perfectly smooth on my PC and is damn pretty with perfect controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like the game design was created in a boardroom by execs rather than creatives. “Your team can have full creative control over the visuals... IF we get full control over everything else.” Theres just so much different about the game for no other reason than to be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its been too long since I've played the original, but I finished this game last night and I think it just as good if not better than the original in every way.

With the first game, everything felt connected—Ori, his powers, the progression. In this game you now have money, vendors, weapons... it’s the complete opposite in design theory to the first game. The technical issues don’t help. The first game was flawless (could have been because its was the definitive edition, but I also played the original and don’t recall any quirkiness).

One of the few complaints I've seen about the Blind Forest is about how bland the combat is. Its one of the weaker points in the game. I guess there are better options than implementing money and vendors for new weapons/abilities, but the customization is a huge plus personally. I changed up my abilities a lot on different combat shrines and bosses to make them much easier. I have seen some technical issues floating around and I've found a couple bugs myself. Hopefully they squash those relatively quickly. The first game ran better from the get go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind Forest is very good, some reviewers still prefer it, but the combat will feel dumbed down if you play it second. I downloaded the demo on switch because the hype on this made me interested, bought the game as soon as I finished the demo. Loving it!

legend Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm enjoying it a lot so far, but I'm not very far in. I'm also enjoying the changes made. Feels like they took some pages from Hollow Knight, but since Hollow Knight is probably my favorite metroidvania, I'm totally cool with that.

Firewithin Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 since ive been playing on the XBO and using the resume game when i come back to it, the game has still been keeping track of time played so last night it showed i had spent 170 hrs so far lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I like the changes as well. It’s definitely more interesting from a combat perspective than the first game. I also have not noticed many slow downs in the X so far though I am still very early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzo Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I plowed through the game and absolutely loved it! Combat was way better than the original. Just the right amount of difficulty. Performance was fine but I’m on PC. A spectacular sequel in every possible way. I liked the shard system because I could build Ori in a play style I wanted. Really dug the story too. Overall took me 10.5 hours to get around 80% complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emblazon Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 And not a single fucking checkpoint. This game went from 0 to 100 out of no where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emblazon Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 All done. Got all collectibles and completed all side quests. Still only at 455 out of 10000 Gamer Points. Lol. While I did have some issues with the game, and it definitely had its share of technical glitches, I really did love the game. The story and music were fantastic. I had more than a few times where my frame rate dropped to zero. The game would just up and freeze for a few seconds. And the game was ridiculously slow going into and out of the map. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game where I’ve frequented the map as much as I do with the Ori games. All in all, I’m not sure which game I prefer. Fix the technical issues, and give us the ability to use energy to create save spots and it’s even closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the same, but with Light Burst or whatever its called. The fire ball you can throw in the air and dash off of. It absolutely wrecked a few bosses so I never took it out of rotation.

The def star Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Just 100% the game the other day. Will of the Wisp is definitely better than the original and the original was great. The music is fucking amazing. This game is an instant classic for me, up there with Symphony of the Night. The only thing that sucks is at least 3 of the achievements are glitched for me so it's not acknowledging that I beat the game. Dont think I will go for the beat the game with out dying one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number305 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I just finished the game about 5 minutes ago. Great game. I loved the combat compared to the first. There are a ton of buttons to remember to navigate - both bumpers and xyb change depending on what you have equipped. It can be slightly confusing at times. Some of the sequences were intense and took several tries to get through - but nothing ever seemed impossible. Also with the maps I never really was stuck for more than a few minutes on what I was supposed to do next. Very well done game. The way it ended not sure what they would do for a sequel. Maybe those two games are enough, but definitely want to see what the studio does next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a good relationship with Nintendo (which is why you're seeing Steve and Banjo in Smash) so they also put the game on the switch.
