There are still collectables hidden behind areas Ori needs to backtrack to, but they are not nearly as much of a focus anymore. While at the game’s core, it is still a Metroidvania game like its predecessor, it is a much more linear experience this time around. One aspect of Ori and the Will of the Wisps that is extremely noticeable is the shift in gameplay focus. While the story is simple in concept, much like the first game, there is a strong emphasis on emotional impact during storytelling moments.

Now it is up to Ori to explore the forest, rescue Ku, and return back home. After Ku and Ori begin to practice flying, they suddenly crash over a mysterious new forest, becoming separated from one another. Picking up after the events of the first game, Ori and the Will of the Wisps begins with Ori and their family raising Ku, an owlet from the first game.

After a surprise release on the eShop after the September Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, it is safe to say that this sequel was easily worth the wait. After the much-anticipated sequel released on Xbox earlier this year, many wondered whether Ori and the Will of the Wisps would make the jump to Switch as well. Back in September of 2019, one of the most surprising announcements was that Ori and the Blind Forest, an indie game under the ownership of Xbox Game Studios, would be getting a port on the Switch.
