Ori and the Will of the Wisps builds on virtually everything it set up in its predecessor, elevating the very idea of what a modern side-scrolling action platformer can be. Without spoiling, one boss battle in particular is especially emotional and somewhat disturbing, and will stick with me as one of my favorite boss fights in recent memory. Perhaps the most exciting thing Ori and the Will of the Wisps does can be found in its setpiece boss battles, which are jaw-droppingly epic and often intertwined with major story beats. Also, it's just another excuse to 'Metroidvania it up and backtrack to previous areas, and fell previously-tough enemies using your shiny new powers. Usually I groan at collectibles in games, but Ori's are supremely rewarding, considering they open up new side missions at the Wellspring Glades village hub, with visible upgrades to the facilities and villagers who dwell there. Obtaining spirit containers can be spent like currency, and includes things like maps and markers for finding additional collectibles as well.

Returning players will recall bash, which lets you rebound from objects, with improvements to jumping and dashing that help you unlock new areas and obtain more collectibles along the way.

Ori's toolkit now includes ranged attacks such as a magic fireball, a bow and arrow, and a spirit spike that can impale and do large amounts of damage. Like much of the rest of the game, it also weaves seamlessly into the progression of the story, with Ori unlocking new abilities along his quest, while also intersecting nicely with the platforming mechanics that return with confidence.
