Just started playing ori and the will of the wisps
because i heard its similar to hollow knight and since silksong is busy silksonging, this seemed like a good alternitive
my impression so far is mixed
gameplay-wise, it's good so far. Feels very fluid. i love how there aren't many hard "rules". Like, objects in the background can suddenly impact gameplay, platforms that look to be in the foreground are suddenly able to be stood on. Makes it incredibly immersive.
graphics-wise oh mah gursh its amazing. probably the most beautiful game i've ever played
story-wise......kinda trash tbh. I'd describe it as "stupidly emotional". like, it's trying so ridiculously hard. and there are already so many cliches. it is the second game in the ori series, and i haven't played the first, so there's definitely some context i'm missing, but i think i'd still have this opinion.
honestly it's kinda exactly what i'd expect. a hollow-knight inspired game, but made by a ridiculously huge studio. Huge Studio generally equals solid gameplay, gosh dang AMAZING graphics, and pretty bad story. which is exactly what i've seen so far.
definitely gonna keep playing it, it's easy enough to ignore the story and still enjoy everything else.

list of other tiny complaints that i'm making as i find them:
-sometimes the music just stops when you go into the inventory. annoying. why can't i vibe when changing my spirit shards game. why. let me vibe.
-i'm worried the game is progressing too fast. i already have this game's equivalents of mantis claw and monarch wings and im 58 minutes in
-you can only pogo on enimies once before you have to land again. i hope multi-pogo is an unlockable ability.
-UI is kinda meh
-the way the game handles cutscenes is annoying. like, it'll still let you move, but you can only move in the direction the game wants you too. i'd honestly just prefer a full on cutscene.
I will say that I'm being rather harsh on this game because of Hollow Knight. Ori is genuinely a good game, and i've seen a lot of people get mad when it's compared to HK too much.
that being said, it should be compared to HK. at least a little bit. HK was such a good game that it raised the bar for the metroidvania genre as a whole.
