EB: The new abilities help to change things up a bit in Ori and the Will of the Wisps, but ultimately the gameplay didnt feel much different than the original. Im not saying thats a bad thing, because quite frankly I found the gameplay to be near perfect in the original. This is a sequel that looks to build upon the original while maintaining the core tropes of what made it successful in the first place. These are excellent art design, challenging but rewarding platforming, and Metroid-vania exploration. Based on what I played theres no doubt that youll enjoy this sequel if you loved the original, so definitely plan on picking this one up if youre already an Ori fan. If youre not but still dig Metroid-vania style platformers, then this is also a title worth adding to your radar.
