Ori and the Will of the Wisps review — an exhilarating, emotional masterpiece

Ori and the Blind Forest is one of my favorite games of the 2010s. I know that the 2020s have just started, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if its sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, is my favorite game of this decade.

Will of the Wisps is out for Xbox One and PC on March 11 (I played on an Xbox One X). Like its predecessor, it’s a Metroidvania (a nonlinear action platformer) that uses memorizing colors to tell a dream-like fantasy story. It’s just bigger, deeper, and even more satisfying.
