Ori and the Will of the Wisps

好玩

This game is amazing! I loved the story as well as the cutscenes, it felt like I was watching a movie. The graphics were also another great thing about this game, the visuals were breathtaking and really made each area shine and be more defined. I also loved at beginning of the game you unlock a few of those useful movement options early on as opposed to other games. The game's health system is very lenient as you could get away with damage tanking most obstacles. The energy system was fairly balanced though. The moves that do take energy are balanced enough to feel like you aren't losing too much at a time and there are enough energy crystals scattered around the map to regenerate that energy. I feel like some areas of the map weren't fully tested as you could get some collectibles without the use of their intended ability but that might be me. In addition to that, the other moves that Ori uses could get a bit more usage in some spots? I like that each new move had their specific area to try it out but outside of that, I felt like I stuck to one moveset the entire playthrough. Although, I like that you could instantly switch between moves in the middle of the game as its pretty convenient so maybe that solves that problem. [b]These won't affect your gameplay that much[/b] but these are just my issues. One complaint I do have that might affect some people a little would be [spoiler]near the later-game areas the background objects would just pixelate[/spoiler]. Might just be a hardware and settings thing tho I set graphics to high. As for game time... I haven't finished the full game yet (at the time of this review). But there are a few challenging achievements (aside from the main powerups and exploration ones) if you want to go for those. The main story on a first playthrough (if you don't skip dialogue) would be like 8-10 hrs at least. All in all, the game is really wonderful and it shines in its graphics, story, and gameplay and I would definitely recommend this to others.
