#ORI AND THE WILL OF THE WISPS FULL MAP TRIAL#

A constantly auto-saving system has replaced Soul Links (manual saves), which accommodates trial and error much better you’ll nearly always respawn within a minute of death, which considerably reduces the slog. While Will of the Wisps is tough, it’s fair, and not as brutally punishing as Blind Forest was at time, and has done away with the fluctuating difficulty spikes. I’m a rash player and run into a challenge without much thought, figuring it out along the way with little concern for my atrocious death count a number that isn’t anywhere near as high this time around. They give complete command over the slightest movements, and a small mistake is severely punished. The pixel perfect controls are tight, but don’t expect any assistance. It’s a game of millimetres, and it’s so easy to get it wrong. Initial attraction is tied to aesthetics, but it’s the punishingly brilliant gameplay that builds the relationship between game and player. I’ve never taken the time to stop and admire a 2.5D tree in any game, but Ori is different and it definitely wasn’t because I mistook it for a branch that could be climbed, when it was actually just a snazzy looking backdrop.

Ori is a shinning light in another otherwise dark world, at least initially until evil is lifted, but it’s the world more than the characters that is so captivating. The breathtaking art style, coupled with its mesmerising soundtrack, will capture your heart long before an enemy has been defeated or a puzzle solved. The story is told through atmosphere as much as dialogue, yet hits some deeply emotional beats in short bursts. Following on from the conclusion of Blind Forest, where Ori connected with an orphaned baby owl named Ku, we open with him learning to fly - it’s more like falling with style - before the two are separated, leaving Ori firmly on the ground. The wispy storyline embarks upon a journey to discover Ori’s true destiny as he ventures beyond the Nibel forest. I’m normally a complete the main quests, forget the rest, kinda guy with Ori and the Blind Forest, I can’t help but cave to obsessive desire as I let Will of the Wisps and its beautiful world captivate and consume my life for a weekend - we are talking hours, not weeks here, but that’s ideal for a 2.5D sidescroller reliant on the player remembering every minor detail about where they have been and their intended destination.
