One month left until Ori and The Will of The Wisps!
- Thread starter Nabbit
- Start date
Started my replay the other day as well and I agree how the game remains amazing as the first time I played it. Can't wait to finish with 100% completion rate and be ready for Will of the Wisps.
Aaaaaa!!! I'm so excited to play! Seriously might pick up an Xbox One Digital just to play it ASAP!

Blind Forest is on my top 5 for the best games ever, if Will of the Wisps is better then oh boy! And it arrives on my birthday, yay!
I know it might change but at this point when next gen titles isn't known yet it's easily my most wanted upcoming game for the year. And I want something new to to dive into with my kids beside me, WotW should be perfect, they saw me 100-percenting Blind Forest and loved every second of it.

I am very pumped for it and think the first one is the best Xbox One exclusive. It is super fair to have this release day and date at retail for only 30€, so even though I won't be able to play it for a few months because of developing work, I will be there day one to support this game. It played super nicely at gamescom two years back already, cannot wait!
Blind Forest was the first game I played on my new PC on my (at the time) expensive 4K monitor. The visuals and general art style will always hold a special place in my heart for that reason, it knocked my socks off like few other games have from the past decade. RDR2 is close but that game's piss poor HDR implementation held it back from true OLED glory.
Cannot wait for this followup, congrats on Mahler and the rest of the team for what will no doubt be an awesome experience.

Just finished The Blind Forest. Started when it came out on XBox One and for some reason I bounced off of it sometime after the Ginzo Tree. Started the Definitive Version and loved every minute of it. I love how the end basically forces you to use almost every ability you've used. I love how there are fun abilities locked behind getting more Spirit. I love how none of the characters speak, but all 4 come off with a unique personality and motivations. The ghostly flashbacks were so well done too. Ended up 100%ing the game. Loved it and so looking forward to Will of the Wisps!
Just finished re-playing this on my Switch while sick, and cannot wait for the new one. The one bit that bothered me on replay was how the combat soured as it scaled towards the end game -- just wasn't really that fun to try and take down some of the tank-ier enemies.
Hope you feel better, Patrick! I found that I had to change my approach for each enemy-type. The jelly things (ceiling/floor) you just bang on the attack button, but the things that lob something fast your way and seem frustrating, you just fire their projectile back. The armored runners you have to do the slam, but that does take a little timing. The monkey's you just let jump back and forth over your head.
I found the most frustrating was the timing sometimes for the enemies that fire out projectiles you need to jump from one-to-another. Sometimes it seems inconsistent and I'd fall into lava/spikes and die. Not too bad, but sometimes it seem like they'd fire at different rates. Oh, and also going wide berths and forgetting to save...
I can't even imagine getting the one-life achievement in this game.
Edit - Re-read your message about how further areas the enemies do scale by upping their HP and damage. I didn't mind that too much, but that's because I was going back to beginning areas to get secrets I was slaughtering things. I can say that for the main ceiling/floor blobs, it was a lot of mashing the button.
Hope you feel better soon - At least you had a good reason not to come to the preview event then :D
Can't wait to see how you'll feel about Will of the Wisps! :)
any word on performance across platforms yet? deciding between a One S and One X and want to know if it's 60 fps across the board.
I bought an Xbox One SAD just to play Will of the Wisps. Should I be worried about framerate performance without having an X?
When/if there's some sort of top 10/20/whatever games of the decade thread on this site. the first Ori will almost definitely be on the list for me. I'm normally not one to be be excited for something that hasn't been released yet, but I sort of can't help it with this one. I really hope it can live up to the expectations I have in my head.
It seems the Collector's Edition is exclusive to certain shops in a lot of country, it will be hard to get. The FNAC France still got the game but I don't know if they ship it to Finland. :/
As the game appears to be significantly more graphic-intensive than Blind Forest, I get the feeling my old-ass PC won't be able to run the game very well. =/ I wonder how expansive the graphics settings are going to be -- I'm hoping I'll be able to knock it down to something that'll resemble 60fps.
If there is one I'll be first in line. But I think the DE was a result of not having the resources to make the original Ori everything they wanted it to be so unless there is DLC for WotW I dont foresee a DE.
The collector's edition is nice though, looking forward to collecting mine at BB.

Will there be ltra-wide support from the beginning with this game? Or are we going to have to wait for the Definitive Edition again?
Is it known if this will be native 4k and/or support hdr on the X? (I'm assuming 60 fps again across the board). I feel this will be a showcase and can't wait to play it with ambilight...
thomasmahler any info on this you can spare yet? Btw congrats on going gold and on the soon to be release! Based on your info on this thread this is gonna be EPIC. Most anticipated title this year.

I would have never played it, if it didnt come to Switch. Loved every bit of it, especially the music. ( im hopefull the sequel will make its way, someday )
Yeah, even combining the original and additional soundtracks it's only 61 tracks for the Blind Forest (which includes unreleased and trailer audio).
Track count is generally misleading. A lot of these tracks on the WOTW album are stitched together due to interactive elements. e.g. A bossfight cue will have the intro -> phase 1 loop -> transition -> phase 2 loop -> outro. 5 'tracks' merged into 1 for a continuous listening experience (which is how it plays out in the game). Not all OSTs do the stitching and just drop the cues as they are built in the game.
Anyway, so the number of 'cues' (files) in the game is far higher, well over 100 - probably more. Runtime is a better comparison and this one is 186 minutes (after cuts!). It's a bigger game, with more characters, all stuff you've seen from our trailers, which means not just a continuation but also an expansion on what was done in the first game. Anyway, not long until the game is out and I hope you all enjoy what we've been working on together at Moon for so long to create!
