Amazing graphics, beautiful music themes and overall just as good as its predecessor. I don't know for sure whether the first Ori Game had a shop system with abilities and upgrade shards but if not then it is a mayor improvement in this second game. If you like metroidvania games and have not heard of the Ori games then definetly check them out.
It's not completely necessary to have played Ori and the blind forest before playing this game but the story will mean much more to you if you have played it before so I recommend doing that.
