Wonderful game, just like the first one.

There are a lot of improvements/redesigns that I really enjoy, e.g. the more intricate combat system, making uses for energy more diverse (instead of it just being used for soul links) and the little side quests or combat shrines. Environments, characters and movement are spectacular as expected, it's great fun just to hop and dash around Niwen seeing how many dashes and quick jumps you can chain together. The 'racing' shrines are super fun too although I wish I was able to turn off other player ghosts.

Again, like in the first game, the Soundtrack is fantastic and really helps create a fitting atmosphere and let's you immerse yourself into Niwen super easily.

Completing the Moki village Quests and completing projects feels super rewarding to me. One of the only games where I actually liked the 'camp upgrade' mechanic as the village truly changes and new quests, characters and areas appear.

The only thing I don't like is that soul links actually don't exist anymore and were replaced by an autosave system, but this is really only a minor preference issue. I've also encountered a few bugs which were mostly visual or non-disruptive, some of them were actually pretty funny.

In conclusion Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a everything I wanted from an Ori sequel and a lot more. Exploring Niwen is entertaining, exciting and, most importantly, really rewarding. I sincerely recommend it.
