It's a great game and it's just as good as the first game in my opinion.

It does everything a sequel should, adds more playtime, more mechanics, overall just building on what Ori and the blind forest first provided.

Unfortunately I feel it really hasn't done much beyond that, which is why I'm rating it below the original. Despite being a metroidvania it feels surprisingly linear, there's next to no backtracking and exploring required beyond the first few areas. The story although good feels incredibly straightforward, I would argue even simpler then the first game. without going into much detail I'll say there's no twist and the motivations of the antagonist feel rather weak.

Overall a great game, that's why I'm giving it a 3.5/5, it probably deserves 4 or more but I'm knocking it down for being a bit unambitious.

Now, on paper Starfield is a very mid game... for 2015. I don't need to elaborate on that everyone on every corner of the internet has already told their reasons for why they feel the same. 2.5/5

And yet I put 100 hours into it over the course of just 1-2 months.

It's a mid game when you analyse it yes, but simply looking back at how I felt when I played Starfield I really enjoyed myself with it. it was just pure Bethesda crack I could not put down for 6 hours a day from start to finish.

Factoring that in it's a 3.5/5 for me.
