Basically everything I said about Ori and the Blind Forest is also true for this sequel game:
"Ori is one of the cutest, thrilling, hardest, most emotional, satisfying, saddest, most beautiful, varied, inventive, imaginative and funniest platformer that I've ever played, and it comes with both, a perfect visual art style, and a perfect music score, which makes it so much more fun to play. For a platformer it comes with so many interesting features you wouldn't expect, like small puzzle games to advance, or even a leveling system so that you can upgrade your character individually (at least to a degree) to meet your personal play style. And it's - in a way even an open world game - sure, there are parts you cannot reach due to a lack of certain abilities (yet), but you are free to move and sometimes there are two or more choices that are open to you. And then there are end bosses - each with their unique play style that you need to adapt to, to being able to defeat him, using all the abilities in your repertoire."
What's new with the Blind Forest: We now also have a min construction-game component where we rebuild a village of some forest-dwelling creatures. Besides that, there where also some improvements in the fighting system and how game saves are handled and can be done. The skill tree has of course also changed, and we get a couple of interesting new features, and there are more challenges (speed-run areas). So all in all: A lot more Ori, whilst keeping true to everything that Ori already did good in the prequel. And with me taking 37 hours to complete the game - it also shows that we also get Ori for double the time than the prequel. And it still never feels too much, just perfect.
So once more I can say: Ori is just a really wonderful experience, and a game that I really look forward to playing again.
After playing the first game in the Game Pass and buying the second one digitally, we also got the limited collectors box editions for both games - which I tell to just show you how much I love and value these games :)
