Ori is a series that is beloved by many and rightfully so. Its story of friendship is so touching and will stay with you forever. There is nothing offensive here, it can be enjoyed by young and old. Adults might actually be more touched by the story if you've ever experienced loss.
'The Will of the Wisp' continues where 'The Blind Forest' left off, so begin with the first title if you are new to the series.
The graphics are superb and we did have to wait for a few bug fixes at the beginning, but the game now runs smoothly and impressively. Definitely a game everyone should experience.

This game might be the best looking game currently on Xbox One. The lighting/art style/animation are just phenomenal. On top of that is an excellent RPG Platformer. Upon release it had some performance issues, but has been patched as of last week to alleviate some of that.

I was really surprised to hear that a sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest had been announced, but I also had no complaints. I've always been a huge fan of the metroidvania style of games as I love exploring large maps, uncovering secrets, and gradually powering up my character. The series has always been filled with emotion and heart and is beautiful to behold, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps is no exception. I was happy to pluck my money down for a physical copy even though MS was awesome enough to include it in Xbox game pass and I don't regret it. This game has a the charm, visuals, and difficulty of the original but it's all been expanded upon in remarkable ways. If you own an Xbox or a gaming pc, you owe it to yourself to give both games in the series a try.

What an excellent game. I played the first one and have been enjoying the second one so far. Im not finished with the game yet, but it feels like the platforming/puzzles are not as difficult up to this point. Great visuals, story is good so far. Grabbed for 12.99 and couldnt be happier. I prefer physical over digital so I dont mind paying bit extra.

This game is much better than the previous game "Ori and the Blind Forest" which was almost perfect. The music, the art style, the gameplay are above perfection. In Xbox one x looks and plays beautifully. If you love 2d games, you will be in love with this game. Moon Studio created a master piece and there is nothing out there right now that can match this game.

A gorgeous platformer that builds on the original without ruining what made it so special. The visuals are mesmerizing and the music is enchanting, the combat and platforming sequences are smooth as ever despite a few technical issues on XOX. The Will of the Wisps is the sequel that The Blind Forest deserves.

This is a sequel to the game 'Ori and the Blind Forest'. The game is a touching story and in the vein of other 'Metroidvania' platformers that focus on a puzzle solving element. Top notch graphics and sound and has a free upgrade to the Xbox Series S/X version, can't beat that!

One of my favorite single player game!!! Art and music is excellent. The story is touching and fighting system is perfect. Might be a little bit difficult for newbies players. Sometimes you’ll need to figure out ways for walkthrough.

I love this game. The artwork, the platforming even the difficulty. It really pays off when you get past a part you kept trying over and over. Just like the last game, I feel an emotional attachment to the story and the characters. Seriously play this game.

Awesome gameplay, graphics, and story line. I was unaware of Ori until I saw the trailer for this game and was blown away by the look of it. One of the best Metroidvania games I've played in years second only to Hollow Knight.
