I didn't know anything about Ori when I started playing it and ended up with my jaw on the floor.. Great experience. Can't wait for this one.

 

[Aldric]

Neat. Combat already looks vastly improved, now I hope they can make an effort about visibility/conveyance because one of the first game's biggest issues for me was the way environmental hazards tended to blend into the background and be poorly signposted.

 

[CyberPanda]

Nice

 

[fran.fernandez]

Ori The Origami Fish for Android is pretty good.

 

[TBiddy]

Great! The first one was one of the biggest surprises of this gen for me. Along with Cuphead, that is.

 

[bumleforce]

Do you guys think this will come to switch?

 

[Mista]

Hyped for this. Loved the first one a lot!

 

[SleepDoctor]

Goddamn i need to finish the first one lol. I loved it but got stuck and then sidetracked with other things.

 

[cireza]

Do you guys think this will come to switch?

If Microsoft does not change its publishing strategy, then surely yes. You might have to wait a couple years though.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Excited!

 

[GHG]

Looking forward to this, really enjoyed the definitive edition of the first game.

Will be interesting to see how they handle abilities and what abilities they will start you off with.

 

[VAL0R]

Ori is my Baby Yoda

 

[MDSLKTR]

Its so above all the metroidvanias out there it's not even funny. Can't wait!

 

[TLZ]

Am I missing something? The game's already on game pass.

You're likely thinking of Ori and the Blind Forest.

 

[Laconian Sword]

Beautifully balanced and polished platformer without the excessive backtracking and frustration of Hollow Knight. Looking forward to this.

Wash your mouth out.

Hollow Knight is a masterpiece and the pinnacle of the genre.

And ironically in late game backtracking is more difficult in Ori than it is in Hollow Knight. You can only fast travel to set points in Ori whereas in HK you can create fast travel points to anywhere on the map.

it is on game pass but if you try to load it up it says to try again in March when the game releases to the masses.

 

[Nikana]

This being a week before doom is like a 1-2 punch for me. Im going to be in gaming heaven.

 

[DGrayson]

Nice i just beat the first game last week

 

[GameOfPixelsX]

I am excited about this. Loved the first one. Such a surprising little gem.

 

[Pejo]

Can't wait for this game. Is it day 1 on Xbox/PC, or does the Xbox have a lead?

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Ori was one of the top games of this gen.

so excited for the sequel. Hope it sells a shit ton

 

[Deputy Moonman]

I believe the review embargo ends tomorrow. Well i guess that makes sense as it actually releases tomorrow too. I look forward to reading reviews.

 

[Gavin Stevens]

This shit is my JAM.

 

[Vawn]

Its so above all the metroidvanias out there it's not even funny. Can't wait!

The first was a very good game, but no. There are better Metroidvania games out there, such as Hollow Knight, Gucamelee, etc.

Ori is probably the prettiest one though.

 

[nuttyevans]

If they can iron out the difficulty spikes and make environments easier to read, this game is going to rule.

 

[Contica]

One of few games where my experience has been fucked over by bugs so much that I've had to stop playing, and wait till release to see if the promised day 1 patch actually fixes everything.

The bugs have made me fucking hate this game. I'm gonna have to take days off before going back just to try to start over with a neutral mind since my impressions have been so colored by all the shit they'll supposedly fix.

Just imagine a save system that says the game is being saved, while fuck all is being saved. Now imagine playing reeaally well for a couple of hours, only then to die due to some silly mistake, and then to realize the past hours are poof.

Fucking hard to not get livid when that happens, repeatedly.

Don't hold your breath.

Hope it comes to switch as well. Will give this a play on my X this weekend

Git Gud.

 

[Poppyseed]

Out of stock of any “regular” sizes.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

This looks amazing...

 

[Karak]

My review

Game is incredible

My review

Cool! Will play this game for sure

If Ori is too hard for you, i really don't know what to say lol.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

The little spirit Ori is no stranger to peril, but when a fateful flight puts the owlet Ku in harm’s way, it will take more than bravery to bring a family back together, heal a broken land, and discover Ori’s true destiny. From the creators of the acclaimed action-platformer Ori and the Blind...

Ori and the Will of the Wisps Reviews

With great level design, tight game mechanics, an appropriate level of challenge, beautiful visuals, and a touching narrative, Ori and the Will of the Wisps proves that Moon Studios' isn't...

Glad to hear they haven't toned down the difficulty.

 

[OmaeWaMouShindiggity]

man, I usually don't do side scrollers and played ori for free due to gamepass. I was Wowed. bought the special edition and played a bunch more side scrollers on GP and plan to pick this up day one. If its even equal to the original ill be happy, if it surpasses it I may cry.

I remember this happening to me, however, I just reverted back to my RPG save thought process (specifically in games that don't allow you to save everywhere): save whenever you can, don't go too long without saving, and save more then once in case your first didn't save correctly.

I had to do that here, but unlike the usual rpg, the process is a bit more cumbersome. You have checkpoints that are frequent (in theory), and rare savepoints. You can't manually save whenever, so what I ended up having to do is reboot the game everytime I sense the system is getting loopy. Which is often.

It's a chore.

Hmmm, that def sounds like a larger issue and id hope it isn't some memory in your console going bad that ORI just so happened to be using specifically.

really? Never happened to me so far. Have you tried re-installing the game?
Also, FPS is rock solid. Looks nice on Xbox oneX.

 

[M1chl]

So is it ready? Or just NZ? Ohh shit, I have console streaming, I could change that remotely, it occured to me. Let see what hospital wi-fi can do...

I'm usually lucky when it comes to bugs, but with Ori I got it all. Fps is usually good, but now and then it freezes for a second or two, usually in the middle of an insane jump/bash/dash challenge.

Reinstall didn't work. Day 1 patch should fix it though, MS sent out a mail regarding it where these issues were mentioned.

 

[nuttyevans]

If Ori is too hard for you, i really don't know what to say lol.

Never said it was too hard, just that it had an uneven difficulty curve.

I really don't know. For the most part it was all the same except maybe two or three smart parts.
