There are no penalties and slowly but surely dropping health in a difficult area is not really a problem. I actually restarted my first run and decided not to take the fast-travel-from-everywhere skill.ĭeath is not an issue. Exploring and backtracking makes you 'feel' the world more. The world is easy and quick to navigate when you acquire some movement abilities. But, in my opinion, there is no need for this. When backtracking becomes an issue, that's shitty world design and that needs to be fixed. I think that as solid MV doesn't need this. You have the option to fast travel from everywhere. Most boil down to the same thing, it's almost as if the game is apologizing for itself. I love the game, but to me it has a few issues. It was a nice change of pace and provided a different challenge for me, but.yeah, this is not Hollow Knight and I also wish they would have just kept the combat as a secondary thing like in Blind Forest. The, uh "wiggliness" of the game is something that I appreciated, since most games in this genre are much more "square" in their movement, either for platforming or combat. I get that Will of the Wisps is a colourful game, but it's not a kids' game and it was just frustrating to have to constantly skip through a dumb story for toddlers.īut, yeah, the combat is trying to emulate Hollow Knight and falls way short. It's was frustrating for me when I was playing. Frankly, it's probably just another example of the game not really knowing what it is. But for the people who will actually play through this game, it's borderline insulting. So what the hell is up with this the story? For a kids' game, like a young kids' game, fine. There are at least 2 that are legitimately fucking scary. And yet, the gameplay is too challenging for young children and a few of the bosses would be legit traumatic for young kids as well. the story? I mean, for real, the story sucks. Speaking of cutscenes, too.am I the only one who really does not get the tone of the game vs. Eventually (if you continue) you'll get to areas based around using an individual ability but it felt like the game was just throwing a bunch of abilities and cutscenes at me to keep me engaged when, in fact, just letting me explore with better pacing would have been much more enjoyable. It's been a while since I played, but I recall being annoyed that I was just being thrown new abilities left and right too quickly. Will of the Wisps wanted to be Blind Forest + Hollow Knight and it turned out being sort of.neither. Blind Forest was a much simpler game, but it had that working for it.
#The art of ori and the will of the wisps series#
I think it's because all of the particle effects make it hard to read telegraphs and position around hitboxes properly.ĭoes Will of the Wisps get better? Or is this whole series just not for me? What are the the stakes of survival?Ĭombat seems to lack the frame-perfect precision I would expect from something taking cues from Hollow Knight. If I fuck up on an enemy, I just respawn at the start of that screen, too. If I fuck up a jump, I just respawn at the start of the screen. The new, more orthodox checkpoint system seems to have taken what little suspense was left from crossing tough areas in Blind Forest. But the combat still feels like it's missing something, even though Ori has a proper attack button now. I mean, the colors are pretty and I got my Bash ability back. But I've gotten about 2 hours in and it doesn't feel like anything interesting is happening. I started playing Will of the Wisps because everybody was saying it's a lot better. I played through the first Ori last year and didn't think too highly of it, but I'm motivated by combat more than exploration in my MVs.
