I liked the first Ori game a lot. This game is more of the same but better in every aspect!
The platforming was satisfying, but a bit floaty at times. The combat was really nothing to write home about, same as the first game. The new upgrade mechanics are a good addition though. And yes, they're basically the charm system lifted from Hollow Knight, except with upgrades.
My favorite part of this game is how lovely the world is, and how it actually uses dynamic changes in the environment. A frozen world that gets slowly thawed out, some obstacles melting, others coming back to life. A thin cavern full of acid becomes an expansive underwater ecosystem once you cleanse the source of the water. It was super satisfying to me and I loved every moment I spent in it.
