Whether you’re taking on side quests dished out by NPCs or discovering a completely optional (and very cool) dungeon, all of the content is addictive and very easy to get distracted by. There’s so much to do in Will of the Wisps that, although there’s an achievement for beating the story within four hours, you’re likely to take dozens of hours to get through it thanks to the refreshing difficulty and plentiful list of things to accomplish. And since Will of the Wisps relies on lightning-quick response times, dropping frames or getting stuck inside the environment because it had trouble keeping up with you is a huge problem that can really pull you out of an otherwise stellar experience. The caveat here is that it’s sometimes bogged down by technical issues like the framerate dipping for a few seconds or areas not loading by the time you enter them. Simply put, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is masterful in its presentation. But Ori and the Will of the Wisps succeeds in making its world feel more alive by greatly increasing the number of characters you meet, each with their own memorable personality, like a grumpy treasure hunter and a wise, old monkey mentor.Īnd it wouldn’t be an Ori game without some absolutely breathtaking setpieces and an emotional soundtrack that will be stuck in your head for days after playing it. As you might expect from a follow-up to The Blind Forest, the story is filled with emotional twists and turns, sympathetic antagonists, and loveable NPCs. Ever the devoted friend, Ori makes her way through a dangerous and corrupted forest to rescue Ku. ![]() Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a story set in the aftermath of Ori and the Blind Forest, where Ori and the gang have added a new friend to their crew, a baby owl named Ku, who is lost amid a violent storm. After not only completing the campaign but finishing 100% of the content in this stellar sophomoric sequel that improves Ori in almost every way. Ori and the Blind Forest was one of the best reasons to own an Xbox One early in the console’s lifecycle, and now in the console’s twilight years its predecessor, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, hopes to close out that legacy with an ambitious follow-up. ![]()
