I see the note you made in the description about their "day 1 patch". ACGs review (he played both pre, and post patch) said the patch fixed virtually all of the technical issues across the board, and he was super surprised by well well the game ran after the patch was installed (even on the standard xbox.... and the one X got a normal 60fps). Thats just 1 persons experience, but he too is pretty thorough in his reviews so I figured it was worth noting.

One of the techniques people learn in game design is the practice of mapping out the domain, i.e. the possibility space, of the interactions and mechanics available to the player. If you can do action A, that action may have different behaviors in-game that result when it combines with objects 1, 2, 3, 4, i.e. wall, projectile, platform, enemy, etc. Every combination of interactions constitutes the domain of the mechanics. Constructing a puzzle is as simple as gradually teaching users about the domain by making discovering and making use of the domain a requirement of progression through a physical space. Every time you add mechanics, it affects the size of the domain. You can also influence the perceived size of the domain by combining required behaviors. Crafting puzzles is about understanding the full scope of what can be done right from the get-go, and then arbitrarily deciding upon a goal that forces the user to think about using the mechanics in the way you want them to. It's all about guiding players to understand the mechanics the same way you do as the game developer.

I am going to savour the rest of this game. That was so epic and all the more so for how quickly you have to work out what you need to do and how quickly the sequence ends with you safe (barely!). You have not steered me wrong yet with a single game. I have particularly picked up that we like the same music (battle track from FF15, Automata, this).

Not to mention the plethora of weapons and skills you can mix and match to suit your play style, and the versatility those abilities have. Bash for example can either reflect projectiles or use them to propel you in close to an enemy, it's up to you how to use it. I just wish there was some kind of replay mode or NG+ that lets you use all abilities from the start and fight bosses as much as you want rather than having to play the whole game over again, or dropping saves with auto save disabled to try a new skill set in a boss fight.

The one other area of the game that wasn't bad but just not as strong as the first, was the story and some of the characters. They basically stick the old characters and Ku in the corner for most of this game and the backstory and motivations with Shriek, the main advisary, isn't as strong or as fleshed out as it was with Kuro. Shriek came across to me as literally an imperfect copy of Kuro just with a different, less personal motivation. Without spoiling it, Kuro hated the light (and by extension Ori) personally and sought revenge for a terrible loss she suffered from the light. Shriek just hates the world in general for not accepting her, probably due to her frightening, even grotesque appearance. They could have done a lot more with Shriek's story, not to mention Ku, but I really think they just ran out of time. Will of the wisps is, after all, a massive undertaking, especially for an independent developer. I'd give Blind Forest a solid 10/10. Will of the Wisps, a solid 9/10. Maybe even a 9.5. These are some of the best games I've played in recent years, maybe ever.

I think Ori 1 was much harder on you when it came to environment-hazards. So many things there would insta-kill you, while in the 2nd game most of those similar things only do some damage to you (like these energy-beams in the walls). Felt really nice, because it removed a big bunch of frustration for me. The bosses felt relatively easy to me (on normal difficulty), but I played Ori 1 and thus knew it's best to gather as much life- and energy-cells as fast as possible

Free if you have Gamepass Ultimate, I got it for $1 until July like most people (E3 2019 deal). Anyways, if you haven’t played the original Ori I HIGHLY suggest you don’t skip it and you play it because it is just as amazing as Hollowknight and Guacamelee!

Should you find some time to play the 1st one, please do it... The water tree is one of the greatest platforming moment I've ever experienced: the form is perfect, the music empowering without relying on violent sounds and rhythms. A masterpiece.

I don't know if they've released a patch as of 1am US Central Time but if they have not you can look on my channel for the frame rate issues I experienced on the Xbox One S. I am definitely not messing with this game until it runs specifically because it looks so phenomenal and in the short time I was frustrated with it there was clearly a whole lot of fantastic in this game. I don't want technical issues to ruin what looks incredible.

@@wildstrands3377 Oh, I can only imagine how bad it is for Iran. The virus has been spreading closer and closer to the city where I live, so my family will soon know just how the situation truly is. I think that halting the schools till summer is the best decision, because I've heard rumors that the virus doesn't do so well during the warm and dry months.

You really shouldn't have skipped the first game. Not only did you miss out on a story that directly connects to the next game, you also missed out on 10 more hours of fun content. P.S. the game is a lot less hard if you don't rush through it and get most of the life cells (e.g. at 9:00, which is near the end of the game, I had roughly twice the health and energy you had)

It also helps that one of the people designing the levels of this game is the same guy who was creating a Metroid remake and Nintendo shut it down, at least that story had a happy ending because he got hired by Moon studios to work on this game (not much of a happy ending for Nintendo though)

I freaking love this game. It's a masterpiece in my opinion. My favorite game of all time is super metroid. And I honestly don't know which one I love more. It doesn't get tedious or repetitive like most games. It's challenging without being frustratingly hard. The music is probably the best I ever heard, not to mention how beautiful the game is. The controlls are fluid and precise. Very important in a platformer. Very satisfying when you complete a Quest or puzzle/challenge. Metroidvanias take note. This is the new standard.

Don't own an Xbox but this game looks incredible. Kudos to Moon Studios for a job well done and to Microsoft for making it available on Gamepass. I'm a PS guy, but games like this one deserve to be celebrated. Great review from SU, as per usual.
