It naturally adds to Ori's repertoire of abilities, especially when it comes to fighting corrupted enemies. Ori and the Will of the Wisps recaptures its predecessor's extraordinary sense of power and freedom in movement, making even complex traversal moves feel simple and satisfying once you get a good sense for how they work. There was little wrong with the original Ori and the Blind Forest, and the sequel opts simply to enhance the various elements that made that game so fun and memorable. As the game progresses, he gradually grows more powerful, gaining new types of attacks, all the better to take on the evil forces permeating the woods. Ori can run, jump, and perform graceful acrobatics, but he encounters plenty of barriers that can be bypassed only by acquiring specific traversal abilities, such as climbing walls and dashing through the air. The action is similar to that of the first game, with players traveling left and right and up and down to explore the woods while defending against corrupted creatures with spirit sword swipes and magical attacks. When Ori wakes up, he begins exploring his surroundings, where he meets a new cast of characters and friends who inform him that the local forest has become susceptible to corruption and decay and must be protected by tracking down four wisps to re-form a caring shield in the shape of the great Willow Spirit. Ori and Ku become friends, and take to the sky together on a grand flight before a storm sends them spinning to the ground, separated. It picks up right after the first game ended, with an owl, Ku, emerging from a rescued egg. ORI AND THE WILL OF THE WISPS - a sequel to the beloved, award-winning side-scrolling action game Ori and the Blind Forest - continues the story of Ori, a forest spirit dedicated to protecting the woodlands and its inhabitants and helping creatures in need.
