Ori & The Will Of The Wisps (I feel emotional right now)

Black Dog · 12 Nov 2020 at 15:32

Just finished this game and wow what an emotional masterpiece of a game. I have been gaming for 40 years now and played a lot of games but I have never felt like this after the credits rolled.
I'm not an emotional guy but this game had me in tears. I can't say anything bad about this game and it's made me realise that there are game developers out there that care about games and are able to create a stunning emotional masterpiece. Everything from the stunning graphics to the best soundtrack I have ever heard in a video game, the story, game play and atmosphere where just perfect.

Anyone who has not had the pleasure of playing this game, I urge you to play this one.

Also you will want to play Ori and the blind forest which was also extremely good but the sequel has somehow surpassed it which I didn't think was possible.

Just thought I'd share my thoughts for anyone who has not played it yet.

Excuse me whilst I get some more tissues.

The Ori series is fantastic. Such good games. I've not completed Ori 2 yet but will get around to it at some point.

They're both on Game Pass as well which means there's no real excuse to not playing them.

I've still to grab the the sequel at some point, but I completed and loved the original, outstanding game.

Oh poor Black Dog!

I've been there buddy!
Great game, but the ending does pull on your heart strings.

Totally agree with everything you just said - had the same effect on me - in tears by the end.
Even welled up at the end of my second playthrough.

Such a masterpiece.

Thanks for the replies everyone and the hugs. Had to create this post as it was an exceptional game. Hope you all enjoy the sequel (you will i'm sure)

I heard they have a high difficulty them games, which is a bit off putting

Difficulty just right IMO. Hollow knight is much harder. I gave up after 50 hours of hollow knight. I can do Ori 1 in 7 hours.

Other atmospheric games are IMO
The Swapper
Machinarium
Botanicala
Limbo
Inside
Gris

My wife was a blubbering mess within the first 5 minutes of the original, was like niagra falls over here. Just played a bit of the sequal on new xbox, it sure is a wonderfully pretty game, it's rather special on OLED.

Just finished this. Well chuffed with myself for keeping going because some of the bits were just frustrating as heck. I nearly blubbed at the end but it didn't quite tip me over. Really looking forward to what they do with the native power of Xbox Series consoles for the next one (hopefully they will be the baseline and not the Xbone) if there is to be a third outing.
