Ori and the Blind Forest was my favorite game of 2015. The Metroidvania (a mix of Castlevania-like gameplay and Metriod-esque nonliner level design) is one of the most gorgeous things you’ll ever see. So I was thrilled to play the sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, during the 2018 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this week in Los Angeles. It comes out for Xbox One and PC in 2019.
At first glance, it looks a lot like the original. And I would have been fine with that. Ori and the Blind Forest has some of the most vibrant (and glowy? Is glowy a word?) visuals and satisfying movement in all of gaming. Will of the Wisps still has those things going for it.
